For long daylight hours and the best chance for sunny weather, the best time to visit Carnoustie is in summer. The highlight of the season is the annual Carnoustie Gala Week, which is filled with events and festivities including parades, Highland dancing, and local food stalls. The summer school holidays (July/August) are the busiest time of year, so if travelling at this time, it’s a good idea to book campsites in advance.
