Best Time of Year to Visit Sea Glass Island

Imagine this: you’re gliding over turquoise waters in a kayak, sunlight bouncing off the surface, a warm breeze at your back, and not a single cloud in the sky.
The beach ahead? Quiet, untouched, and scattered with sea glass just waiting to be discovered.
This is Sea Glass Island. And yes – timing your visit can make all the difference.

If you’re wondering when is the best time of year to visit Sea Glass Island in Aruba, the short answer is: you really can’t go wrong. But if you want the absolute best conditions for kayaking, beachcombing, and soaking in the island’s hidden magic, here’s what you need to know.

Aruba’s Seasons: Spoiler – It’s Always Summer

Unlike many destinations, Aruba isn’t ruled by four seasons.
Instead, it enjoys a blessedly consistent climate year-round – we’re talking 28–32°C (82–89°F) almost every day, with refreshing trade winds that keep things just right.

There’s no true “rainy season”, just occasional tropical showers that come and go in minutes.

This means that any month can be the perfect month.
But if you’re looking for the sweet spot, keep reading.

December – April: The “Peak Paradise” Window

This is Aruba’s high season, and for good reason.
Crystal-clear skies, calm waters, and vibrant energy from travelers around the world – it’s like the island is buzzing with sunshine.

It’s also the perfect time to:

  • Go kayaking when the water is glassy smooth
  • Discover freshly uncovered sea glass after seasonal tides
  • Enjoy guided tours with optimal conditions and great visibility
  • Escape winter back home – let’s be honest, it doesn’t get better than Aruba in January

The only downside? A bit more crowd in main tourist areas. But guess what? Sea Glass Island is never crowded. We take you to hidden beaches where it’s just you, nature, and waves whispering stories.

May – August: The Hidden Gem Season

These months are slightly less touristy – which we love.
The weather? Still perfect. The sea? Still calm.
And the best part? Lower prices and more space to explore.

It’s also when our kayak tours really shine – with early mornings and sunset paddles becoming even more magical.
And let’s not forget: sea glass season peaks after late spring tides, meaning beaches are loaded with new treasures.

This is a great time for:

  • Photographers & artists looking for peace
  • Families wanting calmer, guided outdoor fun
  • Beachcombers hoping for rare sea glass colors

September – November: Off-Season Bliss

While some call this the “off season,” we call it Aruba’s secret season.
Yes, there’s a slightly higher chance of short rain showers – but Aruba lies outside the hurricane belt, so you’ll rarely face serious storms.

In fact, this is when the island feels yours alone.

Sea Glass Island becomes a tranquil haven, perfect for couples, solo travelers, or anyone who wants to reconnect with nature and slow down.

We recommend:

  • Private kayak tours during golden hour
  • Relaxed exploration without any rush
  • Journaling, meditating, or just letting your mind drift with the tide

So… When Should You Visit?

The truth is, there’s no bad time to visit Sea Glass Island in Aruba.
But if we had to pick?

  • Want perfect weather + vibrant energy? → December to April
  • Want quiet + treasures + great value? → May to August
  • Want peace + reflection + hidden beaches? → September to November

No matter when you come, we’ll be here – guiding you through the turquoise waters, sharing stories, and helping you uncover nature’s forgotten gems.
