Where is hot but not too hot in August?

[redskyatnight]

Thinking about next year's holiday.
We are a bit stuck because DH doesn't tolerate the heat well - we really don't want the temperature to go much above 26-27, which rules out a lot of places in August.

We're also wanting somewhere we could get to the beach but would also places of interest/things to do that weren't just beach based.
Does anyone have any suggestions? DC will be 10 and 8.

not the Med, certainly. Perhaps the Canaries?

or the UK!

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland.
Iceland
Ireland - Ring of Kerry

brittany in france. south brittany has best and most reliable weather....though obviously it can still rain and might be above 27

Suffolk.

North West Spain, Atlantic coast of Portugal, Madeira, the Azores, France, Germany, Slovenia.

Italian Lakes?

We had a week in Lake Garda at the end of August and the temperature was hovering around 30 degrees most days, one day we hit 33 degrees.

Italy and Spain will be very hot in August.

Vendee in France, on the coast and warm but the breeze always keeps it pretty fresh.
