Best Time to Visit
May through October offers ideal beach weather with warm, sunny days and temperatures from 75-90°F. Peak season (July-August) brings crowds and higher prices but perfect beach conditions. April-May and September-October provide the best balance of pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and lower prices. Winter (November-March) is mild but too cool for beach activities.
