The best time to visit Besnard is during the dry season, which runs from December to May, offering warm temperatures and less rainfall.During these months, you can expect average temperatures around 27°C (81°F) and lower humidity, making it ideal for enjoying the island's outdoor activities and beaches. This period is great for those looking to relax on the sand, explore the national park, or take part in watersports.For travellers looking for a quieter experience, the shoulder months of May and early June can also be a good option. The weather remains pleasant, but there are fewer visitors, which can mean more availability for accommodations and activities, and a more relaxed pace. This is particularly appealing for couples who prefer a more intimate holiday without the peak season crowds.While the wet season (June to November) sees more rain and a higher chance of tropical storms, it can still be a good time to visit for budget-conscious travellers, as prices for flights and hotels are generally lower.
