This is peak season with comfortable temperatures, lower humidity, and minimal rain—perfect beach weather with pleasant evenings.

• Bring a light layer or cardigan for evening breezes and A/C
• Pack long pants or maxi dresses for slightly cooler nights
• Sun protection remains critical—UV is intense year-round
• Ocean temperature is 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 doesn't disrupt entire days.

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