Autumn — September and October are more active months and the weather permits beach outings. Pavement cafes are still open until around the end of October.

Winter — Though temperatures are still relatively mild, it’s too cold to sunbathe at the beach.

Spring — A lovely time to visit. The annual “Fallas de San José” unofficially marks the beginning of spring. Cafes and restaurants open their terraces and life spills out onto the street once again.
