Best Time to Visit St. Vincent & the Grenadines

Caribbean · Month-by-month weather, seasons and what to do — from Noura's Destination Finder.

Noura's timing tip: St. Vincent & the Grenadines sits within the hurricane belt, with the highest storm risk from August through October—trip insurance is worth building into any sailing charter or villa booking in that window. This is one of the world's premier sailing destinations, so pairing a few land nights with a Grenadines charter (Bequia, Mustique, Canouan, Tobago Cays) makes for the strongest itinerary.
