The Caribbean has some very famous beaches: Grand Anse in Grenada, Seven Mile Beach in Cayman, Isla Verde in San Juan — and they’re all deserving of the fame. But the Caribbean is also full of beautiful lesser-known beaches, the beaches that may be harder to get to, or frequented mostly by locals, or simply off the beaten path.

Let us know in the comments section.
