Caribbean Beach

When holidaymakers think of the Caribbean, you can bet that an image of a gorgeous white sand beach is one of the first things that pops into their heads. The Caribbean is rightly synonymous with fabulous beaches. Many of the best hotels are on prime beach front, or better still there are beaches which are still wild and remote. There tend to be two distinct coastlines to most islands, the calm Caribbean side and rougher Atlantic side. Both offer their own charms whether you’re after the perfect lazy sunbathing beach or an all action surf beach. Depending on the island and the beach, you may find sophisticated beach clubs for dining and partying or laid back beach shacks serving jerk chicken.

If you are looking for a lively Caribbean beach resort you'll need to aim for somewhere like Antigua, Barbados, Jamaica or the Dominican Republic.  For somewhere more laid back, Anguilla's striking white beaches are hard to beat and many of the smaller islands have beach charm aplenty.
