Best Time to Visit
April through June and September through October offer ideal conditions with pleasant temperatures (65-80°F), fewer crowds, blooming flowers (spring), and lower prices. July and August bring hot weather (75-90°F), peak tourist crowds, high prices, and busy beaches, though guaranteed sunshine. Winter (November-March) sees cooler temperatures, occasional rain, many business closures, but peaceful towns and dramatic winter light perfect for photography.
