Visit official siteWhen to go
Timing is the whole trip.
Best overall months
November to April brings dry, sunny days and warm Gulf water, the peak window for beaches, boating, and golf.
Quieter shoulder value
May and late October offer warm weather, lower rates, and thinner crowds before and after the winter high season.
Shelling and calm seas
Winter cold fronts push the best shells ashore, and the dry season keeps the Gulf and back bays glassy for charters.
Summer heat and storms
June to September is hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms; plan water and outdoor time for the mornings.
