What is the water temperature at beaches in Costa Rica?
The average year-round water temperature across Costa Rica is 82F. However, the weather and seasons are more variable (and therefore have more of an impact) on the Caribbean coast and can bring the temperatures down to 59F during the coldest month of August.
Where to stay in Costa Rica for beaches?
Those looking to hop between beach locations are likely to want to opt for the same hostel chain throughout, in order to keep everything standard and know what to expect. Selina Costa Rica has ten different locations around the country to help tourists navigate their beach days, and so much more.
Should you visit Costa Rican beaches in rainy season?
Rainy season or ‘green season’ in Costa Rica occurs between May to mid-December and, while still hot, means that most days are filled with at least a little downpour. On the most extreme rainy days, however, it can rain heavily non-stop for a few hours, especially in the afternoon. Think of it this way, you’re likely to get wet in the water anyway, so why not visit Costa Rican beaches during the rainy season? Just be aware that waves can get choppier and higher during these months.
When is the best time to visit Isla Mujeres?
Although the weather is quite warm and sunny throughout the year, the best time to visit Isla Mujeres is between January and April. During these months, the skies will be mostly clear and temperatures will reach an average high of 29ºC/84ºF. This means it won’t be too hot, and you’ll have a chance to explore the island without suffering from too much heat and humidity. However, if you’re hoping to visit the island for a chance to swim with the whale sharks, the best time to visit Isla Mujeres is between June and September when the tours are running officially.
Is Isla Mujeres better than Cancun?
Between Cancun and Isla Mujeres, Quintana Roo Mexico has a variety of activities and lifestyles to offer. Those looking for the party or “spring break” vibe would likely prefer Cancun, since it’s the unofficial fiesta capital of Mexico, with loud music and plenty of alcohol within reach.
Alternatively, Isla Mujeres offers a more idyllic setting, quieter and better for relaxing. Isla Mujeres beaches and wildlife easily outweigh that on the mainland, and the Mayan temples are great for visitors that want more of a cultural experience.
What is the temperature in Isla Mujeres?
The average year-round temperature in Isla Mujeres is 79 Fahrenheit, but the location does have defined seasons throughout the year. Typically, there is a dry season between December and April, with a wet season lasting between May and November.
However, Isla Mujeres also has a hurricane season, with most of the stormy weather occurring in September and October. Therefore, while it’s the cheapest time to visit, it may be best to avoid Isla de Mujeres during these months.
