Best time
Late afternoons and evenings are ideal for catching the golden-hour light over the eastern sea and enjoying seafood as the kiosks fill up. Weekends are liveliest with local families. The dry season from January through April offers clearer skies for island views. Avoid midday in summer when heat and humidity peak.
