  • Trade winds keep the heat comfortable all day.
  • Seas are calm — catamaran and snorkel conditions are excellent.

What is happening on the island

Early March stays quiet, then U.S. spring break arrives mid-month and Palm Beach gets younger and louder. Eagle Beach and the low-rise hotels, however, barely notice. Meanwhile, tour availability is at its yearly best — operators run full schedules.

Our verdict

March is a top-three month for weather. Families and couples should favor Eagle Beach over Palm Beach during break weeks — our where to stay guide breaks down both. Compare every month in our best time to visit guide, browse hotel deals, and see top-rated tours before you book.
