All Months
March through May gives you the sweet spot – warm enough for the beach (70s-80s) without the brutal summer humidity. Spring Break brings college crowds in March, so aim for April or early May if you want things calmer.
October and November work great too. Water's still swimmable, temperatures hover in the 70s, and hurricane season winds down. Plus, you'll dodge the summer tourist rush.
Summer gets hot and sticky – we're talking 90s with Gulf humidity that makes it feel like 100+. But if you don't mind sweating, June through August offers the warmest water and longest beach days. Just book accommodations early; everything fills up.
Winter brings mild temperatures (50s-60s) perfect for exploring the historic district. The beaches feel pretty empty, but you probably won't want to swim. Some seasonal restaurants close, but the major attractions stay open.
