Warm days in the 60s to 70s, cool nights, and events like the popular April Mainsail Arts Festival provide an antidote to wintry weather. Reservations during this pricey, tourist-packed period are a must for restaurants and boat trips.
Off Season: September to December
When the kids head back to school, many hotels offer deep discounts. Fall also brings stunning sunsets and cooler days (temperatures average 76°F) that are perfect for beachcombing and rounds of golf.
Sweet Spot: May to September
Inviting ocean temperatures counteract the 80 degree heat and there are great vacation deals to be had, though with school out you'll have to battle for them. Hotels sell out Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
