Off-Season vs. Season
Historically off season starts after Easter. There is a boost in mid summer for kids out of school, but in September it begins again thru November.
Looking for the slowest time of the year to visit? Sept is the Most ‘off’ season with hurricane season and the kids are back in school. Plus its still too nice up North for snowbirds.
Best time to visit: Southwest Florida’s peak season is winter, which runs from October to May.
Looking for a deal? Our slow season is summer, which runs from June to September.
