Best visited October through April when temperatures are mild and humidity is lower. Summer months (June-September) can be extremely hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms. Hurricane season (June-November) may occasionally impact access. Winter months offer the most comfortable conditions for extended outdoor activities.
