The most recommended month is "March"

March is the most stable month of the year in Saint-Martin, and as it is the end of the dry season, there are many sunny days and the humidity is low, making it a very comfortable time to visit. You can enjoy sea-based leisure activities such as beach activities, snorkeling, and yacht cruises to your heart's content. In addition, since it is a little out of sync with the vacation season in Europe and the United States, tourist spots are relatively less crowded, making it easier to enjoy a relaxed trip. Accommodation costs are not as high as they are during the peak season, so it is also excellent in terms of cost performance. It is the best season to spend a relaxing time in the dry, fresh air with the beautiful Caribbean Sea.

The least recommended month is "September"

September in Saint Martin is in the middle of hurricane season and is considered the month with the most unstable weather. Not only will there be many sudden squalls and storms, but there is also a risk of being hit directly by a hurricane. For this reason, many tourist facilities and restaurants may be temporarily closed, which will be inconvenient for travelers. Transportation may also be affected, and cancellations and delays of flights are not uncommon. Even if you visit to enjoy nature, there is a high possibility that your plans will be disrupted, which is a major stressor, especially for short-term travelers. It is wise to avoid traveling during this period as much as possible and visit in a safer and more comfortable season.
