ST1212The Caribbean’s best beaches happen to be ours

How is it that the best beaches in the Caribbean happen to be ours? It takes going to greater extremes than anyone else—

even if it means hanging out of a helicopter, riding by Jeep, exploring by boat, swimming the waters and walking for miles

along a never-before-walked-on shoreline. And, having grown up on a beach—Honeymoon Beach in Ocho Rios, Jamaica—

I know just what to look for: calm clear waters protected by coral reefs, expanses of pristine sand nestled on the leeward

side with gentle trade winds to refresh you, and one-of-a-kind views you’ll never forget.

Would I Hang Out Of A Helicopter To Find The Perfect Beach? You Bet!

Because while others put their seal of approval, I put my footprint on it and make it home!

Voted #1 Beach & Sun Destinationin the World by TripAdvisor.com

The rarefied Turks & Caicos Islands are considered to be “The Last

of the True Exotics” — and the #2 diving destination in the world,

according to Scuba Diving magazine. On one of these unspoiled

atolls, glassine waters glisten in a hundred shades of turquoise

along a magical 12-mile ribbon of pure white sand that gleams in

the sun. This leeward facing beach is found on a crescent of sea

known as Grace Bay, which Condé Nast Traveler has graced as

the best of them all with its calm waters, close-in coral reefs, and

westward sunset views. Revered for its lore of legendary pirates

and buccaneers, this exotic beach is also home to Beaches Turks

& Caicos, where pirates are alive and well at the Pirates Island

Waterpark and families will discover a true treasure together.

Sandals Montego Bay. Edged by protective reefs, this shoreline

offers divers easy access to the live coral worlds below. And, along

gently slopes into the sea. That Sandals opened its first resort here is

The Bahamas are known for their waters and their endless chain of outer

islands. Located on Nassau’s Gold Coast, Cable Beach is famous for its

upscale resorts including the most prestigious, the elegant and regal

Sandals Royal Bahamian — once a historical retreat of the Royal Windsors.

Here guests are treated like royalty as well on their very own exotic out

island, Sandals Island. Only a half-mile offshore, this isle combines chic

amenities with esteemed seclusion. It offers two spectacular beaches: one

for high-energy watersports, the other bordered by a living reef where

tranquil waters host some of the region’s best snorkeling. Add the bonus of

an intimate pool, whirlpool, thatched-roof cabanas and a traditional island

fish house, and you have a luxurious island adventure that captures the

Located on Jamaica’s South Coast, Whitehouse is a virtually

undiscovered oasis filled with friendly people and quaint fishing

villages. This mile-long beach is literally a beacon of unspoiled

perfection. What makes it one-of-a-kind is two coves that form a point

and then diverge—both sides seeming to go on forever. One side offers

an eastward view of the sunrise over the mountains; the other faces

directly west, providing a stunning display of the sun setting into the

sea’s horizon. The days seem longer here because they are — sunup to

sundown, you have more of what everyone comes to Jamaica for — to

enjoy the beach, the soft breezes and, of course, the sun itself.

the silky white sands and crystalline waters vacationers dream of. Yet

island that is just a gentle swim, shuttle or kayak away. Boasting a beach

Nestled beneath a 25-foot bluff, this heavily protected twin-cove

beach boasts sand the color of English porcelain and waters as clear

as crystal—revered by divers for its sought-after reefs teeming with

There are no paparazzi here, no beach vendors, nothing to disturb

the sense of peace except the occasional rustle of palm fronds in the

breeze. This is truly one of Jamaica’s best-kept secrets, exactly the way

it’s intended to be.

EST OF THE BEST

Nestled beneath a 25-foot bluff, this heavily protected twin-cove

beach boasts sand the color of English porcelain and waters as clear

as crystal—revered by divers for its sought-after reefs teeming with

sea life. Over the years, it has provided a private respite for those in the

glare of the public eye, including members of the British Royal Family.

There are no paparazzi here, no beach vendors, nothing to disturb

the sense of peace except the occasional rustle of palm fronds in the

breeze. This is truly one of Jamaica’s best-kept secrets, exactly the way

it’s intended to be.

The eastern cove provides almost total seclusion—ideal for honeymooners

On an island renowned for its romantic French influences—including

the name of the landmark twin-peaked “Les Pitons” mountains—you’ll

find the height of glamour and luxury on the legendary La Toc Estate,

home to Sandals. Here an amazing crescent-shaped beach runs for

one-half mile to the soaring cliffs of the resort’s dramatic Sunset

Ocean Bluff. Unique among Caribbean beaches, the water appears

as a luminescent emerald green and is responsible for the resort’s

designation as “The Emerald of the Caribbean.” Even the endangered

Leatherback Turtle enjoys the luxurious feeling of secluded privacy

in such an awe-inspiring setting. From rolling fairways that overlook

the sea to lush hillsides dotted with villas, this sophisticated

beachfront is the pinnacle of paradise.

The open-air Pavilion Restaurant offers sumptuous cuisine and exquisite views
