Looking for the ideal Caribbean beach vacation? Hey, I love sharing the highlights of all the places I visit and learn about. Below you’ll find my top 10 picks for a great beach pass with examples of what’s special about them. Then you can decide which one you think would be the ideal beach pass in the Caribbean for your trip!
"but all are wonderful in their own way"
Aruba
This place is for those that like a non-stop pass with lots of restaurants, bars casinos. The beaches are gorgeous, the water is wonderful and it hardly ever rains. The scuba diving is awesome with great opportunities for photography. The fishing is pretty good too.
Barbados
Your troubles will simply wash away in the soft island serenity of this great beach pass destination. Brighton Beach is a great place to stay for your Caribbean beach pass and the most favourite here. If you want a tiny more privacy you can get secluded villas around the island. Taking that horseback ride on the beach will feel as if you’re in a motion picture and I would highly advocate trying it. Probably my second favorite beach pass overall.
Turks and Caicos Islands
Like long beach walks? At 12 miles long, Grace Bay is simply a phenomenal stretch of soft white sand with smaller luxury resorts, spas and great restaurants perfect for a beach honeymoon vacation. And the water color is the most vibrant translucent turquoise… I love it! Seems that many motion picture stars and rock stars like it too with several owning homes and vacationing here on some of the 8 secluded islands all with fantastic beaches. Turks & Caicos has long been a diver’s paradise with great deep-sea and bone fishing too! Taking the kids? Well, Beaches Resort consistently gets high marks as one of the world’s ideal family beach pass spots.
Bahamas
Technically not in the Caribbean, but with so many beautiful beaches I had to add it to the ideal beach pass list… it’s close enough. Paradise Island is great fun especially swimming with the dolphins, which is an experience of a lifetime. The diving here is fantastic because of the calm waters and enjoying the nightlife is all kinds of fun. For a secluded romantic get-a-way try the pink sand beach on Harbor Island.
British Virgin Islands & U.S. Virgin Islands:
Both make great beach vacations, especially for island hopping. Having a chance to easily enjoy not 1, 2, but potentially 3 islands or more apiece with it’s own charm make for one of the ideal beach pass spots. Trunk Bay on St. John is particularly gorgeous and favourite with calm waters and an underwater snorkeling “trail.”
Cayman Islands
A very pleasing destination with odd things like feeding iguanas grapes while dining at a restaurant. Definitely worth it for the pictures! Three islands in all, its another great place to island hop and enjoy waterfall climbing, extensive shark diving, and swimming with the stingrays and shopping, shopping, shopping.
Dominican Republic
Here is a place you can go for a cheap beach pass and still enjoy all the splendid beauty of a Caribbean island. Have a great time scuba diving, swimming with dolphins, deep sea fishing and hiking. Fabulous beaches too!
Anguilla
A fun Caribbean beach pass to tell your friends about. It’s the only area known in the Caribbean to have beautiful white sandy beaches deserted during peak season, which makes this a great place for couples to enjoy. Especially with activities that include windsurfing, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Oh, and if you love seafood, all I can state is, “The ideal chefs in the Caribbean!”
St. Lucia
A honeymooners delight. Think talking music, small island, secluded and intimate and that is St. Lucia. Beautiful beaches, lush tropical foliage, scenic mountains, spectacular sunsets and typically many great all-inclusive packages are offered. It all makes for a very seductive beach honeymoon vacation.
Hey, I could add a couple more since the Caribbean is full of beautiful and interesting places. Some might offer a tiny superior snorkeling or fishing, larger or smaller hotels, more seclusion or more nightlife, but all are wonderful in their own way. You really can’t go wrong with these when planning and dreaming of your next Caribbean beach vacation!
