What March feels like
March is when the streams above town run hard and Rainbow Falls earns the name — go early, when the light comes through the mist. Locals plan around rain the way other places plan around traffic.
This is the wet season: rain on about 15 days, so pack accordingly. There’s a little humidity in the air, but nothing that changes your plans.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 77° — comfortable for swimming.
