May to November is the wet season with higher humidity and a higher chance of rain, but also fewer crowds and lower prices. Hurricane season runs June to November, with peak risk in September and October.

This vibrant town serves as the gateway to the Spanish Virgin Islands and offers a perfect blend of water sports, rainforest adventures, and laid-back Caribbean charm. By day, you can kayak through the glowing waters of Laguna Grande, snorkel among colorful coral reefs, or hike in the nearby El Yunque National Forest. By night, enjoy fresh seafood at waterfront kiosks or dance to salsa rhythms.
