I never really understood why people shied away from the island during September, To me, it’s one of the best months of the year. The beaches are nearly empty. Parking is plentiful. The water’s warm. And although several restaurants and bars may close, you can still get great food and service from the ones that chose to stay open. See for yourself…
Stop telling people about September and leave October out of it while you are at it! ;~)

Shhhh!!
what he said!!
I’m with you September is beautiful. I usually come down for the month of October, which for me, is also beautiful and uncrowded. This year I am lucky enough to be able to stay for Sept. and Oct. I am having an absolute fantastic time while here.
We usually come in mid-late November, for those same reasons. Might think about coming earlier next time.
We were sailing the VI the second week of September with beautiful weather and one small rain shower. The BVIs were deserted and Cruz Bay still had good activity and open restaurants. We were the only boat in the Francis Bay anchorage and the Caneel Bay anchorage when we spent the nights there. We love the off-off-season of September! Back for Halloween for the merely off-season.
Cheers, RickG
Hurricane season is why we don’t go in the fall…………
Came in Oct last year and loved it for those reasons, but you have to keep it quiet!! 🙂 only a few weeks until we come back
We tried to make a September trip a few years ago. As it turned out, Earl got to STT at about the same time we were supposed to arrive.
We haven’t tried for a fall trip since.
The chance of getting caught on island in a hurricane is very, very slim. If you have been thinking about going in September or October, go for it.
I thoroughly agree! We own a villa past Coral Bay. I love it there I in September. I feel as though I have the entire island to myself.
It’s our fave time of year to go! Was married October 31st, 2008 at Truck Bay!! Absolutely love having Maho to ourselves when we visit during that time of year!
We always go in Sept. or Oct. Shhhhush!
I’ve been coming for many years in Sept. (sometimes April as well)
But it truly is the best time to relax in paradise. But keep the hurricane myth alive!!
