Many people around the world consider November to be cold, wet and windy. Not in Paradise though, and that's essentially what Half Moon Cay is.
November may be the third coldest month in the year, but it is still warmer than most other places, with an average high of 28°C (82°F) and average low of 21°C (70°F). The sea is the coldest it has been since June, averaging 27°C (80.6°F), but there's still about 8 hours of daily sunshine, which is the same as October.
November is a relatively dry month too with 81mm rainfall; higher than the other Winter months, it is
considerably lower than the precipitation levels of the Summer and Autumn
months, which peak at 236mm in
August.
With this in mind, a tempting activity may be to swim with stingrays. Looking like angels of the sea with a smiley face to boot stingrays are gentle, graceful and extremely curious. They don't appear too timid either, as you can easily coax them into following you around simply by offering them some squid!
Half Moon Cay is a Wild Bird Reserve, so if you enjoy spotting rare birds then the island is perfect for you. Among the variety of birds you can expect to see are Bahamian pintails and sooty and roseate terns, as well as shearwaters. Look up into the sea grape trees and you may also be lucky enough to spot the bananaquit, or yellow bird.
