When is the best time to go to Harbour Island?

The best time to go to Harbour Island is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to early June) and early fall (September to October) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds. During these months, the weather is typically warm and sunny, ideal for enjoying the island's outdoor activities without the peak summer heat or the higher prices and larger crowds associated with the summer and winter tourist seasons. You'll find comfortable temperatures for exploring the beaches, dining outdoors, and participating in water sports. Families traveling with children often find the early fall particularly appealing. The ocean temperatures are still warm enough for swimming, and the island is less busy than in the summer, making it easier to enjoy attractions and restaurants without long waits. Many local events and festivals also take place during this time, offering additional entertainment. For couples seeking a romantic getaway, late spring offers a serene experience. The island is lush and beautiful, and you can enjoy quiet walks on the beaches and intimate dinners at the island's many fine dining establishments.

Top Harbour Island Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Middletown - Newport

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional room quiet and reasonable price!"

The Newport Harbor Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying at this beautiful hotel. Clean and an amazing location with wonderful views available. Will be back. This is the first time bringing a vehicle along — The lot that the hotel shares is also a public lot and is pricey. Not the hotels fault and they do disclose that parking has a fee. I parked the vehicle for my overnight and it was $90+. This was clearly labeled at the front of the lot. Staff, location, amenities, and view all get five stars from me."

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Middletown Newport Area

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were incredibly helpful and interested in making our stay great. Right off the hop they called to see if we were happy with the room and if we needed anything and again on checkout, incredibly pleasant. When you go into the room, all the drawers were open, indicating that they had been cleaned. Great pride taken by the team at this hotel"
