Jamaica is stunning year-round, but for families or large groups, visiting during the winter can be the ideal option. Here are a few of our most convincing reasons why:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You miss hurricane season<\/em>. Typically, coastal Jamaica boasts a comfortable climate which means beach season is year-round low to high 80\u2019s. From June 1 to Nov. 30, however, there is a great deal of rain and storms which cause many local attractions to close. Wintertime weather is usually milder\u2014allowing you to do all the Jamaican vacation activities on your itinerary.<\/p>\n You can escape the winter blues. <\/em>Generally, the science behind many folk\u2019s dull winter moods is due to a vitamin D deficiency. Northerners tend to experience less sunlight. For example, in early December in the northeast part of the USA, the sun sets at 5 PM.<\/p>\n The best way to improve your mood is to increase your vitamin D intake and get some exercise. This can be easily accomplished, stress-free with daily long walks through marketplaces, fun hikes in Ochos Rios with beautiful vistas, and morning beach yoga.<\/p>\n There is plenty of time for relaxation too. There\u2019s nothing better than laying on the beach knowing that your coworkers are likely shoveling snow out of their front yard.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll avoid the spring break crowd<\/em>. Not that there\u2019s anything wrong with revelers and party-goers, but when you\u2019re trying to have a relaxing vacation with your family it may not be the scene that you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n Avoiding the college spring break crowd of eighteen to mid-twenty-year-olds drinking heavily and listening to loud music.<\/p>\n
