Best time to visit the Maraú Peninsula

The Maraú Peninsula has a humid tropical climate, with rain spread throughout the year. According to Wikipedia, based on the APA’s environmental zoning, it rains more than 2,000 mm a year and the average temperature ranges between 21 °C and 25 °C (70–77 °F).

Month by month, in short

• August to October: the least rainy months. A good time if you want more sunny days and dirt roads in better condition.
• November to February: summer and high season, with more visitors, more businesses open and higher prices.
• March to June: the rainiest months. The peninsula is emptier, but the chance of cloudy days and difficult roads is higher.

The tide matters as much as the month

For the Taipu de Fora natural pools, what matters most is the day’s low tide. When choosing your dates, open the Navy tide tables and see on which days low tide falls in daylight. See low tide and natural pools.

High season

Tourism is the backbone of Maraú’s economy, and summer is the busiest time. Over New Year’s Eve and Carnival, book accommodation and the boat crossing in advance.
