2When is the optimal time to see Crab Island?
While there are specific ways to avoid the party scene, Crab Island is definitely what expert travelers call “a seasonal destination.” While the sandbar is accessible all year, the various floating vendors generally only do business from March through October. Having said all that, the best time to visit Crab island really depends on what you specifically wish to do when you arrive there.
If you want to get in on the party, those in the know say you should be sure to set sail for the sandbar on any “weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day.” If you would rather kick back and relax, drop anchor on any nice weekday regardless of the month. Frequent visitors often favor visiting during high tide.
High tide is said to be a great time to experience the clear, aqua green-tinged water. So check out an area tide chart or a weather app (such as Magic Seaweed), or simply check with one of the local guides or rental companies so you can plan to take advantage of the high tide.
