All year long the temperatures on the island are moderate, typically reaching just the middle 80's in the summer and going no lower than the high 50's at the height of winter. The gulf breeze is what helps maintain the comfortable temps and makes it possible to enjoy a number of activities most any time. The town is a favorite for dedicated anglers taking the catch seriously, as well as those novices who just want to relax and have fun.
