Ever wonder who came up with the term “shoulder season”? There are a surprising number of theories floating about. According to one theorist, spring and fall are shoulder seasons because it’s not yet cold enough to wear coats, thus shawls and wraps keeping shoulders warm are appropriate attire for anyone wishing to stay comfortable.
Folks who don’t believe this theory turn to numbers for a more realistic explanation. Shoulder season, say, weather folks, exists any time temperatures range between 45- and 65-degree F, so if you don’t buy the fashion industry explanation, this one will work for you. That stated, the travel industry offers its own take on shoulder season: It’s the best season for a Caribbean holiday if you don’t want to spend a fortune!
Shoulder season in Belize is especially fabulous
Either shoulder season is ideal for savvy travelers who know that a pairing of timing and affordability means they can take more trips each year. What do you have to gain by choosing shoulder season for your upcoming Belize getaway? For starters …
•Weather is ideal for folks who can’t get enough fun in the sun: from cave tubing and ziplining to snorkeling and diving, get your pick of adventures without having to compete with other vacationers.
•Crowds are, to quote one shoulder seasoner, “a pain in the neck,” thus their absence makes time spent in Belize a joy. From room to sprawl out on sandy beaches to short waits at all the places that make a vacation blissful, shoulder season is idyllic.
•Discounts. Do discounts drive your buying decisions – whether they are associated with purchasing goods or taking vacations? You are wise and practical. During shoulder season, popular resorts roll out deals that incentivize even skeptical travelers.
•Your ability to interact with people you meet at local events, concerts, festivities, and celebrations increases because shoulder season tends to be laid back and relaxing so you’ll find more opportunities to get to know the Belizeans you meet.
