Mornings start with salt air and a swim in water clear enough to count the ripples on the sand below. By noon the beach becomes a table of fresh seafood and cold drinks, and in the evening music drifts from open-air spots along the shore.
The climate is tropical, with a hot, wet summer and a cooler, drier winter, so the season you choose shapes your days on the water. A Local Friend tells you when to go early and when to linger, so the best light and the best seat are never an accident.
