The Top 10 Beaches in the Caribbean

Condado Beach, Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico boasts many hidden beaches, but you don’t have to venture far from San Juan to find a fantastic beach experience. Just a 10-minute taxi ride from Old San Juan leads you to Condado Beach, one of the top spots in the Caribbean. While not the most secluded option, Condado Beach offers numerous hotels, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife along the shore. It’s the ideal beach for those who want to be in the heart of the action, making it a perfect coastal getaway before embarking on a cruise from San Juan.

Jalousie (Sugar) Beach, St. Lucia 

Nestled between the Pitons, the iconic twin peaks of St. Lucia, Jalousie Beach—also known as Sugar Beach—is among the most breathtaking beaches in the Caribbean. While Jalousie is a public beach, much of its access is controlled by the exclusive Viceroy Sugar Beach Resort. To fully enjoy the beach, snorkeling, and stunning views, it's best to arrive via a water taxi to Jalousie Bay. 

Cockleshell Bay, St. Kitts

Travelers seeking a beachside retreat might think they need to find a luxury resort and hope for a guest day-pass. However, that would mean missing out on Cockleshell Bay, one of the finest beaches in St. Kitts. This two-mile-long, secluded beach boasts powdery white sand and offers breathtaking views of Nevis Island. It's a safe spot for swimmers, with plenty of amenities along the shore, including a beer shack and a reggae bar, or you can simply lay a towel on the soft sand and relax. 

Ffryes Beach, Antigua  

With 365 beaches on Antigua, one for every day of the year, choosing just one can be challenging. Ffryes Beach stands out as a stunning stretch of powdery sand that's much less crowded than the popular Dickenson Bay. Accessible by taxi or bus, Ffryes Beach features a restaurant, beach bar, sun loungers, and changing facilities for a perfect day by the sea. 

Magens Bay Beach, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

While many visitors to St. Thomas choose to take a ferry to Trunk Bay Beach in St. John, you don't have to go far to find a stunning beach. Magens Bay Beach offers a picturesque one-mile crescent of white sand on the northern coast of St. Thomas, situated within Magens Bay Park. Here, you can enjoy calm waters perfect for swimming, soft white sand, and shady palm trees. 

Harvest Caye, Belize

Harvest Caye, Dinogo's exclusive island paradise off the coast of Belize, features an exceptional beach along with a variety of amenities for visitors. The expansive swimming pool is a major attraction, complemented by the Nature Park wildlife experience and a Kids Splash Pad. Adventurous guests can enjoy paddleboarding, kayaking, or take on the ropes course and zip line back from the lighthouse. On the seven-acre beach, the further you wander from the pool, the more secluded and tranquil it becomes.

Fiesta Beach, Great Stirrup Cay, the Bahamas

While Great Stirrup Cay isn't technically part of the Caribbean, many of our Southern Caribbean cruises include this hidden gem on the way back home. For a bit more privacy, venture deeper into Great Stirrup Cay to discover the pristine white sands of Fiesta Beach. Its more secluded setting offers a serene escape for visitors, as this was the first island transformed into a private cruise port back in 1977. Fiesta Beach provides ample lounge chairs, and you can rent snorkel gear, kayaks, or paddleboards to explore the crystal-clear waters, including the underwater sculpture garden.

Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman 

The renowned Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman consistently ranks among the “Best Beach” selections, thanks to its stunning sapphire-blue waters, beachside relaxation, adventurous activities, and lively island atmosphere. Stretching 5.5 miles, this beach offers something for every type of beach enthusiast. You can sunbathe, play beach volleyball, rent a Jet Ski, kayak, or paddleboard, snorkel at Cemetery Reef, or savor local cuisine and cocktails at one of the numerous beachfront eateries and bars.

Eagle Beach, Aruba

Eagle Beach in Aruba is frequently hailed as one of the finest beaches globally. This tranquil and picturesque beach offers breathtaking sunset views, with the iconic Divi Divi trees creating striking silhouettes against a vibrant sky. Eagle Beach truly stands out as one of the Caribbean's most enchanting spots.
