Best time
Visit on weekends when the boardwalk comes alive with food vendors, boat operators, and live music at waterfront bars. For bioluminescent bay tours, plan around the new moon for the brightest glow and check a lunar calendar before booking your trip. The dry season from December through April offers the most reliable sunny weather. Evenings are particularly lively and worth staying for after a day at the waterfront.
