Best time for beach vacation
The best time for a beach vacation is the instant you decide to take one. Yep, that’s right ☺. However, if your goals are a little more sophisticated than reading a book under an umbrella while sipping on cold drinks with little umbrellas in them, then you’ll want to know when the best time of year is to visit your desired beach destination.
The best time for a beach-focused vacation vary with the year and current weather patterns, as well as by region.
The first thought that comes to mind, when we think about beach vacation, are usually summer holidays. But not everyone can afford it, for some reason and unemployed. This happens because of a price. So don’t be upset and just enjoy the past time or future days that may be coming.
So you’re thinking about taking a beach vacation this summer. Great idea! It’s one of my favorite ways to spend time with family and friends. Where to go? When to go? How to get there….what day is ideal? These are all questions you’ll want answered before you make the final decision. Let the stress fall away and my simple list help you find the perfect spot, at the right time of year, for the right price.
The best time for beach vacation is during the summer. The weather is warm and sunny, which makes it perfect for swimming, sunbathing and other beach activities. The water is also warmer during this time of year, so you can enjoy yourself without worrying about getting cold.
If you want to avoid crowds, I would suggest going during the weekdays as opposed to weekends. You will also have less traffic on the road traveling to the beach since people are usually busy with work or school during weekdays.
If you’re looking to go on a beach vacation, there are a few factors to consider. The best time for beach vacation is typically in the fall or winter, when the weather is cooler and you don’t have to worry about sweating too much. If you choose to travel during the summer, it’s important to make sure that you pack plenty of sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

Summer: July and August
You know the drill: everyone wants to hit the beach in the summer, when school’s out and the sun is high. But not all beaches are created equal and many people prefer tropical beaches, like those found in the Caribbean in the winter, when it’s also less likely to rain. If you can handle the heat, you may find better deals for cruises to these hotter islands in July and August. For less humid beach vacations in summer, consider Bermuda cruises or look to Europe: Mediterranean cruises offer beautiful, sunny sailing conditions and the chance to visit some of the most iconic beaches in the world (think: the Amalfi Coast or Greek islands). However, like with cruises to Hawaii, summer is the most popular time to visit Bermuda and European destinations, so be prepared to share at least a little of your sand with fellow travelers.
Fall: September, October and November
While there are some parts of the world where you can cruise year-round, and have summer-like conditions lingering past August, the fall months are not quite as reliable for beach vacations as other times of year. There are less crowds in Europe, but the more moderate weather makes it a better bet for city exploration than sun-drenched beach days. In the Caribbean and Mexico, fall is the rainy season (and, yes, hurricane season), which often deters sun-seekers. That said, there are still often glorious days in these parts of the world during the fall, and many deals to be found. Of course, September through November is prime time for New England cruises, and you’ll certainly visit some dramatic coastlines on your trip—but that’s an entirely different beach proposition than sunshine, sand in your toes and a warm breeze!
Winter: December, January and February
Come winter, thousands of travelers from the Northeast and Midwest, as well as Canada, are hankering for sunshine. Which makes January and February beach vacations in particular, extremely popular. Caribbean cruises and cruises to the beach areas of Mexico during these months mean you’re more likely to be joining the throng (and potentially paying more, although you can save by planning in advance.) The weather conditions in the Caribbean and Bahamas are as good as it gets all year in January and February, and you’ll enjoy it so much more if you’re escaping snowfall or chilly temps back home. After the holidays, Hawaii cruises may be a good option to consider for your winter beach escape.
Spring: March, April, May and June
Springtime is an almost guaranteed mood-booster after the depths of winter, and what better way to celebrate than hitting the beach? Here’s even better news: the early spring until April is typically a dry period in the Caribbean, and there may even be good cruise deals you can snag. Spring weather in the Mediterranean can also be pleasant (warmer the closer you get to June, of course) and since this is a “shoulder season,” you should be able to save on your cruise as well as any flights you may plan for your trip.
