When you think about heading to the beach, you might think about doing nothing. We are quite the opposite. We go to beaches for a purpose, and in the Caribbean we are fortunate to have a beach for just about any occasion. There are beaches for snorkeling, beaches for walking, jogging and cool breezes. There are best beaches for food, people watching, paddle boarding, kite surfing, windsurfing, surfing. There are beaches to hide away on, beaches for families, a best beach for beach bars, a best beach for romance. There are beaches for parties and, of course, beaches for doing nothing, There are beaches for being close to nature and there are great city beaches, there are amazing black sand beaches, best beaches for a Sunday afternoon. Join us for a tour of the Caribbean’s best beaches … for everything!
