Caribbean islands are mostly volcanic or limestone in origin, and coral reefs grow off many of their coasts, which shapes the character of the shoreline. The Atlantic hurricane season covers the Caribbean from the start of June to the end of November, so visitors should plan around that window. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months, adding to the island's seasonal calendar.
