For families...
Fringed by untouched rainforest, the sheltered beach and calm waters at Carlisle Bay in Antigua are absolutely perfect for families.
For a dramatic view...
The setting of Sugar Beach in the Anse des Pitons, St Lucia, between two extraordinary coastal peaks — or Pitons — is as dramatic as they come.
For crazy pink sand...
Running the length of the eastern side of Harbour Island, Pink Sands Beach in the Bahamas really lives up to its name.
For snorkelling...
The gorgeous, 12-mile long beach at Grace Bay on Provo, Turks and Caicos, is ideal for snorkelling right from the shore.
For nature lovers...
One of the longest and most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Sandy Point on St Croix in the US Virgin Islands, is reached by a short but rewarding hike. A national wildlife refuge, it is a protected nesting area for leatherback sea turtles and fantastic for wildlife watching.
For surfing...
Set in a bay flanked by large cliffs, Dos Playas, Aruba, has consistently good 'beach break' waves, offering some of the island's best surfing. You'll have the place to yourself in the week.
For jump ups...
The newest town in St Lucia - after being upgraded from a village — is Gros Islet, famous for its Friday night street party. Locally known as a 'jump up', it's a chance to dance on the beach until dawn to calypso, zouk and reggae.
