Which season to visit Con Dao for the freshest seafood?
Con Dao experiences two distinct rainy and sunny seasons typical of the Southern region, each season with its own characteristic. From October to December is a period of turbulent seas, limiting seafood harvesting. Traveling during this season, you'll not only face high service prices, inability to swim, and restricted sightseeing, but also a lack of fresh seafood for enjoyment, with seafood prices being quite expensive. From March to September is when Con Dao enjoys its best weather, with gentle sunshine and occasional light rain that does not affect sightseeing. This is also the time when seafood on the island is abundant, prices are reasonable, and especially there's always fresh and delicious seafood available.
