Costa Rica has two seasons: Summer, the dry season, and Winter, the rainy season.

Visitors may find that these seasons are the opposite of what they are used to. For example, winter in Costa Rica is the best time to visit the beach. Depending on whether you want to escape the rain or miss the crowds, either season can be wonderful time to visit the country.

Summer is the most popular time to visit Costa Rica. These months have less rain and higher temperatures, making it a great time to enjoy the beach. Yet you'll also encounter more crowds. Especially if you're traveling around Christmas or Easter, it is helpful to book early.

Winter is also a great time to visit Costa Rica. These winter months are not cold—temperatures range from 20-30°C (68-86°F) year-round. Yet it often rains in the afternoon. This rain brings about beautiful foliage and lush greenery, and visitors will encounter cheaper prices and smaller crowds. Yet even September and October on Costa Rica's Caribbean coast are not very rainy.
