What is the weather like in the Caribbean?

Half Moon Cay’s weather is pure island magic, offering a near-constant invitation to relax and unwind. Days are typically warm, with temperatures resting comfortably in the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit, perfect for basking on the beach or wading into the crystal-clear shallows. The sun dominates the sky, its golden rays illuminating the powdery white sands and vibrant turquoise waters like a painter’s masterpiece.

A light, steady breeze drifts off the ocean, keeping the tropical heat pleasantly in check and carrying with it the subtle whispers of salt and sea. On occasion, a quick and refreshing rain shower might sweep through, leaving the island’s greenery glistening and the air feeling fresh and renewed. Evenings are calm and mild, with just enough coolness to make a sunset stroll or a beachside dinner under the stars the perfect end to a perfect day.
