I appreciate you sharing your October experiences. I love visiting in February and seeing the beach so busy but we also enjoy slow season. We’ve been twice now in November and once in July so we have experienced slow season and really enjoy it too. I can also deal with the ramped up hustlers. The only negative in my opinion is I feel so bad for the venders trying to earn a living. Last year I’m sure I spent any money I saved with an off season trip by over tipping and shopping more just to help out the venders.
