The latest edition of Beaches to Dream About is a vibrant mix of very different kinds of beaches.
There’s a family-friendly beach; a private, rarefied retreat in the Out Islands of The Bahamas; a buzzing, energetic stretch of city sand.
We miss every kind of beach in the Caribbean right now, and as we all wait for the days (sooner, rather than later), when our favorite destinations begin to open their doors again, we can find some Caribbean solace in these stretches of sand.
Here is the latest Beaches to Dream About.
What’s your favorite beach in the Caribbean? Let us know at news@caribjournal.com.
Reduit Beach, Saint Lucia We can’t go a day without thinking about beaches like this, where families gather on the sand and children find adventures on the floating water park. It’s a slice of Saint Lucia life, where shimmering golden sand goes rather well with a Bounty rum. The home of the Bay Gardens Beach Resort, it just might be the dreamiest beach in Saint Lucia.
Bathsheba Beach, Barbados The eastern coast of Barbados is its own dimension; it’s something you feel when you drive along the coastal road and marvel at the signature “floating” boulder in Bathsheba. It’s different here; there’s something about the fish shacks and the gatherings of surfers and the surging Atlantic waves that mesmerizes.
Winding Bay, Abaco, The Bahamas It’s hard to imagine a prettier crescent of beach than the white-sand splendor at the Abaco Club in The Bahamas. It’s not your normal white sand; there’s a sheen, a glossiness; and at twilight, the beach begins to glow.
Cramer’s Park, St Croix Close your eyes and imagine yourself here on the northeastern coast of St Croix, the home of the rugged and beautiful Cramer’s Park. It’s a beach for long afternoons, for wading in the waves, for endless picnics on the sand.
Great Bay Beach, St Maarten We’re dreaming about the bustle; about the hum of beach bars and shops; of strolling travelers and buzzing cafes. There’s always an energy on Great Bay Beach; but when you stop for a moment, you realize just how brilliantly beautiful a place this is.
