For partiers, there’s arguably no better time than the midwinter, which sees huge crowds of snowbirds hit the tequila bars in the marina, bringing real energy and life to the nocturnal scene. That continues on through the US spring break, well into April, which is the busiest – and most expensive – period. Then comes the early summer, which offers a good balance between nice weather, lower prices, and smaller crowds. Surfers and divers might want to consider the conditions in the water. The waves are certainly better when the southern swells kick in – that’s June to August. For scuba, the winter months mean better chances of spotting big mammals in the ocean, while fall offers the spectacle of the hammerhead and mobula ray migrations.
