Nassau and Paradise Island: When To Go

Peak Season: Mid-December to mid-April Keep in mind that even though vacation prices are highest during this time, the weather is often too cold for swimming.

Off Season: June to August The weather is hot and the rates are rock-bottom, because northerners can go to beaches close to home. Beware that summer is jellyfish season.

Sweet Spot: Mid-April to May; September to mid-December Generally the best time to go, though especially in the late summer, a hurricane is possible.
