When is it better to go
The best time to visit Cuba for a beach vacation is typically between December and May. This period falls within the dry season, offering sunny days with clear skies and minimal rainfall, ideal for beach activities and lounging by the sea.
- December to February: These months are cooler but still warm enough for a comfortable beach experience. It's also the peak tourist season, so expect more crowds.
- March to May: This is the sweet spot for a Cuban beach holiday. The weather is warmer, but the heavy tourist traffic starts to wane. You'll enjoy the best of Cuba's beaches with fewer people and still great weather.
While the summer months from June to August can be tempting, they coincide with Cuba's wet season, bringing hot, humid conditions and the possibility of hurricanes. For those willing to take a chance, however, summer can offer a more authentic experience with fewer tourists and vibrant local festivals.
