The temperatures are cooler, the beaches are less crowded, and the island’s event calendar is filled with opportunities to experience the local community. Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend or a relaxing escape, autumn offers the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
Here are a few seasonal events and experiences worth adding to your itinerary.
