Insider timing tips
- •The dry season from February to August offers the most reliable weather for beach activities, with the shoulder months of February-May being ideal before the intense heat and humidity of summer.
- •While September and October are technically the end of typhoon season, they are also the wettest months, making them less ideal for outdoor exploration.
- •Summer months (June-August) see the highest prices and crowds due to domestic and international school holidays.
- •The period from November to January offers a sweet spot with fewer crowds, lower prices, and pleasant, dry weather as the dry season begins.
