This period is ideal for couples seeking a tranquil and comfortable escape, allowing for relaxed strolls along the beach and enjoying outdoor dining without the intense heat.

Spring also brings delightful conditions, with temperatures between 18°C and 26°C and plenty of sunshine.

Families often find this time particularly suitable, as the milder temperatures are superb for children to play on the beach and explore the national park without the discomfort of scorching summer heat.

While summer (December to February) is popular for its hot, sunny weather, it's also the busiest and most expensive time to visit, with higher humidity and a greater chance of tropical storms.
