When to go

Bahia Honda State Park is open year-round. The peak season typically falls during the winter months when the weather is mild and ideal for outdoor activities. But if you're craving peace and quiet, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) when the park is less crowded. If you visit during the summer months, stay aware of hurricane season (June to November) and plan accordingly.
