Spring · Sunshine & busy weeks
Spring weather can be pleasant, but school breaks bring crowds. Compare dates, check local rules, and book lodging early if visiting during peak weeks.
Summer · Long days on the sand
Summer brings heat, humidity, and afternoon thunderstorms. Start outdoor days early, take shaded breaks, and leave the beach when thunder begins. June through November is Atlantic hurricane season; follow official forecasts.

Autumn & winter · A gentler pace
Autumn often offers a quieter experience outside holiday and event weekends. Winter is cooler, and some attractions reduce hours or close seasonally. Check operating calendars and pack a light layer.
