Best time
Calm conditions persist year-round in this sheltered bay location. Morning visits offer the flattest water and fewest insects. The dry season from December to April provides the most reliable weather. Sunset from this west-facing shore is worth staying for, though mosquitoes can emerge near the mangroves after dusk.
