Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Playa Zancudo?
The most popular time to visit Playa Zancudo is January, when the dry season is in full swing, offering sun-drenched days and minimal rainfall. Temperatures typically range from 24 to 30°C, creating an inclusive setting for beachgoers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

From December to February, Playa Zancudo experiences its peak tourist season, attracting visitors eager to indulge in the vibrant natural beauty and myriad activities available. This is a fantastic time for those who appreciate water sports such as surfing, paddleboarding, and fishing, as well as for exploring the lush surrounding landscapes. The warm weather and gentle ocean breeze make it ideal for lounging on the beach or taking part in guided eco-tours to witness the area's incredible wildlife.

For those seeking a more tranquil experience, consider visiting in October.
