Good to know in August
- Atlantic hurricane season (June 1 to November 30). Watch the forecast and consider trip insurance. source
- Sea turtle nesting season: lights out on the beach at night; remove beach gear and fill holes daily. source
- The wettest months. Expect afternoon thunderstorms; plan beach time for mornings. source
- Stingray and jellyfish season: both peak in summer, so do the stingray shuffle and watch for the purple flag. source
We don't have verified crowd numbers by month, so we don't guess. School holidays usually mean busier beaches and bridges. See what to book ahead.
