Beach trips are the easiest kind to book and the easiest to get wrong by a week. Rainy season, hurricane season and seaweed season are all local and all decisive, and a resort that is perfect in February can be shuttered or storm-battered in September. Check the season for the specific coast, not the country.

Start PlanningShortest flights from North America, best December–April. Hurricane season June–November; the southern Caribbean sits mostly outside the main track.
June–September, warmest water in late summer. Greek islands, Croatian coast, Spanish and Italian coasts; August is peak crowds and peak price.
Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia. Monsoon timing flips between coasts — Thailand's Andaman and Gulf sides have opposite good seasons.
Year-round swimmable, with winter bringing big north-shore surf and summer calmer water. Longest flights, highest baseline cost.
Maldives, Seychelles, Zanzibar, Mauritius. Distinct dry and wet seasons; often paired with a safari leg on the same trip.
