When to Go

Winter and spring are high season, and the level of activity is double that in the off-season. Beaches do stay pretty packed throughout the sweltering summer, which is known for massive, almost daily afternoon thunderstorms. Summer daytime temperatures hover around or above 90°F. Luckily the mercury drops to the mid-70s at night, and the beaches have a consistent onshore breeze that starts just before sundown, which enabled civilization to survive here before air-conditioning arrived.
