All Months
December through May brings perfect weather – sunny days, cool nights, minimal rain. But everyone knows this, so expect crowds and higher prices during peak season.
The sweet spot hits March and April. Weather stays ideal but spring breakers have gone home. Hotel rates drop 30% compared to Christmas week.
June through November means hurricane season and daily afternoon storms. But here's the thing – mornings often stay gorgeous and you'll have the island mostly to yourself. Just pack a rain jacket and flexible plans. Lobster season closes June 15 to February 14, so time your trip accordingly if that's your priority.
Avoid September and October entirely. Rain turns streets into muddy rivers and half the restaurants close.
