If you are looking for a holiday in paradise, then the Caribbean is the perfect holiday choice for you! Consisting of more than 7000 islands, islets and reefs, the breathtaking Caribbean islands are located just east of Mexico and south of the United States. The smaller islands of the Bahamas, Barbados and Antigua are scattered between the larger islands of Cuba, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic and make up the most popular of these holiday islands.
On the Beach specialise in finding you the perfect Caribbean holiday at unbeatable prices, whether you are looking for an all inclusive Caribbean holiday, a Caribbean honeymoon or a luxury Caribbean holiday, we can make sure you get exactly what you want!
WEATHER IN THE CARIBBEAN
The weather in the Caribbean is one of the reasons why it is such an amazing all year round holiday destination. Boasting incredible sunshine and steady breezes all year round, the Caribbean sees winter weather temperatures averaging between 25ºC to 30ºC and summer temperatures exceeding 30ºC.
Unfortunately, most of the Caribbean lies inside the Atlantic hurricane belt which means there is a risk of hurricanes between June and November. This doesn’t mean you should avoid the Caribbean Islands completely during these months, as there are precautions you can take! The risk of a hurricane actually hitting your island is minimal, and you can choose an island which has a very low chance of being hit, such as those in the more southerly areas such as Barbados, Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire and Grenada.
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS
The most popular of the Caribbean Islands include Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Dominican Republic, Cayman Islands, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Jamaica, Margarita, St Kitts, St Lucia and Tobago.

Antigua
Antigua is the largest of the Leeward Caribbean Islands and is often referred to as the ‘heart of the Caribbean’. Along with its sister islands of Barbuda and the uninhabited Redonda, Antigua makes up the nation of Antigua and Barbuda and offers you an amazing coastline of natural harbours and beautiful coral reefs and wrecks making it ideal for snorkelling and diving. Relax on the stunning white beaches or swim in the crystal blue waters, Antigua offers the perfect paradise escape.
The English Harbour in Antigua was once a naval base and has now been transformed into a number of historical sites including restored buildings and museums which is perfect for when you tire of too much relaxation on the beach! Nelson’s Dockyard is also very popular, offering inns, shops, bars and markets. If you enjoy shopping, Antigua has plenty of opportunity to spend your cash in a wide variety of boutiques, shops and markets, making it one of the busiest shopping destinations in the Caribbean, especially among holidaymakers from the many cruise ships with stop on the island.

Barbados
Barbados is possibly the most sought after luxurious holiday destination in the world. All year round beautiful sunshine, exotic resorts, amazingly white golden beaches and an exciting nightlife means Barbados really does offer you a holiday of a lifetime!
Located in the Western Atlantic and forming part of the Lesser Antilles chain of islands, Barbados was ruled by the British Empire for nearly 300 years leaving it with a strong British influence, sometimes being referred to by its colonial nickname 'Little England'.
High temperatures range from 28 to 35° Celsius and low temperatures range from 21 to 23° Celsius, making a Barbados holiday comfortable, whilst guaranteeing you'll get that perfect tan!
The breathtaking beaches in Barbados will ensure you fall in head over heals in love with the island. Along the West Coast you will find the calmest and safest bays, ideal for sunbathing and swimming with young ones. The south offers brilliant watersports opportunities especially body surfing and windsurfing, with annual surfing competitions on both the south and east coast.
Barbados has much more to offer than just the amazing beaches. Bridgetown, the capital of Barbados demonstrates Barbados’s British heritage, with a large Anglican cathedral, gothic parliament buildings, a synagogue and lots of shops, restaurants and bars!
Dominican Republic
A holiday to the tropical Dominican Republic promises you an island of fun, relaxation, culture and plenty of chances to party! Home to fantastic resorts such as Cabarete, Puerto Plata, Punta Cana, Santa Domingo and Sosua, you will find a mix of lush valleys, historic architecture, beautiful sandy beaches, crystal clear blue seas and a brilliant nightlife.
Rarely seeing the hot weather dropping below 25°C, the Dominican Republic offers all year round beautiful heat however, during October and April you will see lots of wet weather, so it’s best to plan your holiday in paradise during the summer months if you want to stay dry.
Moving away from the popular beaches, you can find a more cosmopolitan feel in Santa Domingo which is one of the most popular tourist areas in the Dominican Republic. Showcasing remnants of Gothic and Renaissance architecture demonstrated in the Cathedral of Santa Maria you will also find a great assortment of restaurants, bars, casinos and shops.
