Dry season (December–April)

This is peak season with comfortable temperatures, lower humidity, and minimal rain—ideal beach weather with pleasant evenings and steady trade winds.

• Bring a light sweater or wrap for evening breezes and A/C
• Pack long pants or maxi dresses for cooler nights
• Sun protection remains critical—UV is intense year-round
• Water temperature is warm and comfortable (mid-70s to low 80s°F)

Rainy season (May–November)

Expect higher humidity, warmer temperatures, and afternoon showers—but rain typically passes quickly and rarely disrupts entire days. Hurricane season peaks August–October.

• Pack breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics (linen, cotton blends, quick-dry)
• Add a lightweight rain jacket or packable poncho
• Bring water-resistant sandals that dry quickly
• Anti-frizz hair products and generous after-sun lotion
• Insect repellent becomes more important with increased mosquito activity
