Practical Tips Bring light clothing and sun protection, as the weather is warm and humid year-round. Renting a car is recommended to visit beaches, parks, and outlying areas. Book museum tickets and tours in advance, especially during peak season (winter and spring). Explore downtown on foot to enjoy street art, local boutiques, and dining. Best Time to Visit November to April: Drier and more temperate weather, ideal for beaches, cultural events, and outdoor activities. May to October: Hotter and more humid, great for sun and marine activities, though brief rain showers are common.
