Pleasant temperatures in August mean you can pack light but flexibel pieces. Think cotton t-shirts, comfortable walking shorts, and one warmer layer for evenings. A light sweater or denim jacket works well. With minimal rainfall expected, you can leave the rain gear at home. With water temperatures around 17°C (63°F), the water is quite cold for swimming. You can skip the swimwear unless you're particularly tough.
