August is a hot and wet month in Half Moon Cay.
While there is on average 236mm of rainfall, the highest of any month in the year, there is also 10 hours of sunshine per day and an average high temperature of 32°C (90°F), while the average low temperature is a hot 24°C (75°F). With sunshine and temperatures like these, it won't be difficult to have the holiday of a lifetime whether you spend it on the beach, in the sea or in one of the many shaded hammocks provided for your relaxation pleasure.
If you are in Half Moon Cay in August you can witness the Emancipation Day on August 6. This is a national public holiday in celebration of the abolition of slavery that occurred in 1838.
As it only lasts for one day though you'll soon be on the lookout for more things to do, but don't despair Half Moon Cay has plenty on offer.
One of the many things you can do is horseback riding; there are trained horses that take you along an equestrian-only trail up to the island's highest points, where you will be treated to some of the best views imaginable, before descending again and trotting through the shallow depths of the sea along the shoreline.
For those who like to be outside and active, the island also has a biking tour. Simply sign up and you'll soon be pedalling your way through an island that can only be compared justly to Paradise itself. With Half Moon Cay providing some of the most stunning scenery to be found anywhere in the world, discovering it by bike may perhaps be the single best way to do so.
