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

8/10 Good

"Nice and clean well managed. Price was fair. I would revisit"

Atlantic Beach Hotel Newport

8/10 Good

"Hotel is very good. Location is a quick walk to the beach and start of Cliff Walk. Room was very big and clean. Had fridge and microwave which is convenient. Free and lots of parking. If you want to use pool, gym and outdoor terrace, all 3 are located in bldg 1. We were in #2 and #1 was booked. I would recommend this hotel."

Newport Harbor Island Resort

8/10 Good

"Amenities were nice like the shuttle into town and bikes and overall property, but we booked a balcony room and they didn’t have one so we got a different room. They also shut the bike use down as we came during off season and that wasn’t noted anywhere. Some lights didn’t work properly in the room and the espresso machine was broken and no coffee machine."

Newport Beach Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location for the Amica Newport Marathon right next to Easton beach. Beautiful view from ocean front rooms. Were not able to use rooftop hot tub but went to see it and it looked inviting. Breakfast was basic continental breakfast but I was happy to have it as an option. Staff was friendly. Overall, I would come back here"
