Well ladies and gents, it is officially fall. But before we start reminiscing about warm weather memories and loathing months of heavy coats and boots, we need to remember one thing – it’s still summer somewhere!

The Caribbean is blessed with endless sunshine and sandy beaches, which is why travelers love chasing the sun across the region’s idyllic islands all year long in search of the perfect tropical escape. From the happy island of Aruba to the irie vibes of Jamaica and iconic views of St. Maarten, there is plenty of sunshine to be found.

If you’re in need of some inspiration to keep you warm as the chill sets in, we’ve found a few jetsetters who love chasing the island sun and will have you ready to keep your summer going in the Caribbean this fall.
