[9 Amazing Tropical Destinations to Visit in the Fall](
There are many things to love about fall -- comfortable temperatures, stunning foliage, and delicious treats, to name a few. However, not everyone loves pumpkin spice and leaf-peeping. While many folks head north in search of campfires and foliage, the rest of us can chase a never-ending summer filled with beaches, jungles, and waterfalls. For those who prefer an ice-cold beer to a hot cider, and day at the beach instead of cozying up to a fire, here is our list of the best tropical destinations to visit during the fall. [Oyster Bullet] 1. Bahamas High season in the Bahamas begins around December, so getting in a trip during the fall shoulder season will likely bring benefits like lower rates and fewer people. Temperatures stay within the 80s — perfect for sunbathing on the beach or swimming in the gorgeous turquoise waters. However, it’s worth noting that this island nation sits within the hurricane belt and strong storms and heavy rain are possible until the beginning of November. [Oyster Bullet] 2. Aruba One of the many things we love about Aruba is that it’s a solid Caribbean island destination no matter the season. This is largely due to the fact that it lies outside the hurricane belt, meaning it doesn’t have a hurricane season. The fall months are a particularly great time to visit, thanks to a drop in the island’s trade winds and hot temperatures that hover in the upper 80s. Plus, it’s typically not too humid. For folks who aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to summer, Aruba has you covered. Stay here and you’ll be snorkeling, sunbathing, and sipping on sundowners all fall long. [Oyster Bullet] 3. Galapagos Islands This fall, make like the birds and head south as the temperatures cool off back home. The Galapagos Islands are a bucket-list destination and fall is one of the best times to visit. September, October, and November are the cool and dry season here, and temperatures fall in the high 70s and low 80s during the day and high 60s at night. Marine life tends to be more abundant during these months, thanks to a cold current that brings in more nutrient-dense waters. It’s an ideal time for birders who want to see large birds fishing for food or score an underwater peek of a Galapagos penguin. However, the high levels of plankton mean the water isn’t crystal clear and it can be a bit cold — you’ll probably want to wear a wetsuit to keep warm.

[Oyster Bullet] 4. Puerto Rico Looking for a tropical fall getaway that doesn’t require a passport or flight over the Pacific? Enter Puerto Rico. Again, you’ll have to be mindful of hurricane season, so it’s best to plan your trip for November. Take advantage of temps in the 80s by exploring the glorious food and drink scene in San Juan, admiring the lights at one of three bioluminescent bays (the world’s brightest is on the island of Vieques), and checking out outdoor art galleries. [Oyster Bullet] 5. Costa Rica Those seeking an eco-friendly fall adventure should look no further than Costa Rica, the global leader in sustainable tourism. Over 30 percent of the country is protected land, which is key considering Costa Rica contains five percent of the world’s biodiversity. They also manage to run on nearly 100 percent renewable energy. So, this fall, swap scarves for (biodegradable) sunscreen as you share the jungle with spider monkeys and sink your teeth into fresh tropical fruits like papaya and mango. You’ll have your pick of laying on the beach, exploring jungles, climbing volcanoes, or just chilling with a good view. It's the wet season (a.k.a low season), so you can expect on-and-off rain showers throughout the day, plus temperatures in the mid-70s. [Oyster Bullet] 6. Belize Often overlooked for tropical staples like Mexico and Costa Rica, [Belize]( is a gem patiently waiting its turn on the tourist track. What you’ll get here is a healthy dose of action, culture, and relaxation. Cave diving, snorkeling off the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, traipsing through the jungle, exploring Mayan ruins, and zoning out to the rhythm of waves on the beach are popular activities. Temperatures stay steadily in the 80s during the day and in the 70s at night. If you want to have the driest weather, book your trip for early November, as rainfall in September and October can reach double digits in inches. [CONTINUE READING]( Looking for a place to stay?
