All Months
December through April delivers perfect weather — 80-degree days, low humidity, and minimal rain. But you'll pay peak prices and fight crowds at popular beaches. Book accommodations 6-8 months ahead for winter visits.
May and early June offer the sweet spot: great weather with shoulder season pricing. Hurricane season runs June through November, with September and October seeing the highest storm risk. But here's the thing — hurricanes are relatively rare, and you'll save 30-40% on accommodations.
Summer brings afternoon thunderstorms that cool things down nicely. The trade winds keep temperatures comfortable, though humidity climbs. Fewer crowds mean better restaurant reservations and more space on hiking trails.
Avoid Columbus Day weekend and Christmas week unless you love crowds and inflated prices. The island's small size means popular spots get overwhelmed quickly during peak periods.
