However, if you are new to water sports, be sure to do these in safe waters under professional guidance and with complete protection equipment.
3. If there is a hurricane warning, some national parks and mountain trails may be closed to the public, so keep an eye on the weather forecast during the trip.
4. Changeable weather in August is also not suitable for long-distance cycling in the country.
5. August is still in the school summer holidays, and a number of families from both home and abroad come to the beach resorts for their vacation, so you’d better book your flights and accommodations in advance.
