The story
Where the seaweed lands
Every summer, sargassum seaweed drifts in from the Atlantic. It hits Mexico's Caribbean coast and Punta Cana most weeks, while Aruba, Nassau and Turks & Caicos almost never see it. And along any one coast, the beach you pick matters.
Watch a year of seaweed ride in across the Atlantic, compare Caribbean coasts, then pick a destination and a travel month to see how often recent years had seaweed near the beach.
