Summer - A Great Time To Visit

Discover the Grenadines in the Summer

From June to November, the Grenadines enter the low season, but this time of year offers a fantastic and unique experience for travellers. This period is locally known as 'summer', and it provides several great reasons to visit:

• **Lower Rates:** Accommodation and activities are significantly more affordable.
• **Fewer Crowds:** Enjoy secluded beaches and feel like you have the islands all to yourself.
• **Lush Greenery:** The islands are at their most vibrant and green, offering stunning natural beauty.
• **The Best Yachting & Sailing:** This period offers excellent sailing conditions for experienced yachtsmen.
• **Ideal for Families:** The relaxed atmosphere and lower rates make it perfect for long family stays.
• **Warm Waters:** The sea temperature is slightly warmer than in the winter months.

Weather and Climate

The weather remains consistently warm, with average temperatures ranging between 27°C and 31°C (81°F to 88°F). While it is technically the wet season, the rain typically falls in short, intense bursts, often at night, leaving the days sunny and clear. These showers are usually a welcome cooling break. The islands sit outside the main hurricane belt, making major storm activity relatively rare compared to other Caribbean destinations.

Local Events and Culture

The summer is an ideal time to immerse yourself in local culture. Bequia hosts various sailing regattas and community events during this period, offering a lively glimpse into island life. Additionally, with fewer international visitors, you have more opportunities to interact with the local community, experience authentic cuisine, and enjoy the relaxed pace of life.
