No Hurricanes
Unfortunately, the same elements that draw tourists to tropical destinations, namely the warm air and water, make many of these places prone to tropical storms and hurricanes.
But there are alternative tropical destinations that are at lower risk for hurricanes, and are within a few hours of the continental U.S. by plane.
The ABC islands—Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao—may be the best-known, low-hurricane-risk Caribbean islands, but there are more destinations in the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Pacific that offer summer and fall beach vacations with decreased chances of extreme weather. Some may still experience the daily rain showers of a summer wet season, but as the saying goes, if you don't like the weather in the tropics, just wait 15 minutes.
Very good news if you are planning your Caribbean wedding!
