Another place for island hopping is the Virgin Gorda. This laid-back island makes the perfect excuse for you to kill time around the tropical blue-water-white-sands beauty and splendor. The Baths are the most famous of all the beaches, but there are lesser-known beaches such as Savannah Bay, Pond Bay, Spring Bay, Mahoe Bay, and others that are just as pretty.

Anguilla

Anguilla is a small island stretching only 16 miles, but it’s home to more than a dozen beaches. Discover its legendary silver sands. There are beach resorts and hotels, but there are also areas that have not been developed yet.

British-Virgin-Islands

The British Virgin Islands will leave every beach bum confused and undecided because of the number of beautiful white-coral sand beaches there. Among the famous beaches are The Baths, Smuggler’s Cove, Cane Garden Bay and many more. Each beach gives visitors opportunities to swim, snorkel, hike, eat out, and party.

This isolated beach in the southeastern part of Barbados will take your breath away with its pristine white sands, blue waters (that are also great for surfing) and awesome scenery. Its tranquil atmosphere will make you wish you never had to leave.

Another lovely beach, Eagle Bay in Aruba has been gaining fame for its soft, pristine white sands, turquoise waters, lush vegetation (especially the fofoti trees), intact wildlife, and extreme water sports. A lot of resorts there offer facilities like huts, shaded picnic areas, restaurants, and parking spaces.

Located on the southeastern coast of Barbados, Harrismith Beach is a secluded tropical paradise! It may not have long stretches of sand like the other beaches, but Harrismith Beach has shallow waters which are perfect for a leisurely dip.

Horseshoe Bay is famous for its pink sands due to crushed shells and coral. That alone may be the reason to go to Horseshoe Bay, but the turquoise waters are inviting, too. This has been a favorite destination, especially for families.

As said before, the US Virgin Islands boast breathtakingly beautiful beaches, pretty white sands, and sparkling azure seas. One of its most popular beaches is the heart-shaped Magens Bay beach on the island of St. Thomas. Enjoy about a mile of powdery white sands and blue, warm waters. As it’s not free (it has an entrance fee), that keeps Magens Bay beach from being too crowded.

Apart from its white sands and blue waters, another thing famous about Orient Bay in St. Maarten is the nude beach-goers — yes, it’s a nudist beach. The most you may see the beach-goers wear is a hat or a pair of sunglasses. The Club Orient, located at the southern tip of the beach, is also popular.

An idyllic tropical paradise, Palominos Island has amazing pure white sands and warm azure waters. It offers plenty of activities both at the seaside and in the water, including horseback riding and watersports such as scuba-diving and snorkeling.

The capital of Sint Maarten, Philipsburg has a lot of stunning beaches, including the popular Great Bay. It has the longest stretch of sand on the island and is quite popular with the crowds. Not surprisingly, Great Bay has a lot of commercial activity that caters to the beach-goers.

Seaquarium Beach

This beautiful beach is named after the nearby Curacao Sea Aquarium. Beautiful white sand, azure salt waters, cliffs, palm trees as well as facilities, the Seaquarium Beach is open to the public but requires an entrance fee. It is perfect for every occasion — a romantic getaway, family fun, or just the simple pleasure of enjoying its natural wonders and man-made comforts. Fun fact, did you know the only country President George Washington ever visited was Barbados.
