Best time
The south-facing Caribbean orientation keeps waters calm year-round. The dry season from January through April provides the most pleasant weather with lower humidity and less rain. Mornings are cooler and more comfortable before the midday sun intensifies. This beach sees so few visitors that timing matters less for crowd avoidance and more for weather comfort.
