On the island of Curacao, you may hear (or even see) the expression “Dushi”. But what does “Dushi” mean in English? As explained by my guide Charla, “Dushi has a lot of meanings…but it mostly means sweet, nice or good”. The phrase perfectly fits this beautiful island. Curacao in the Caribbean is an island paradise with warm welcoming people and the perfect climate for a beach vacation.

Nothing but soft sand, low surf and sunshine --- that’s what makes Turners Beach in Antigua so special. Searching for a pristine beach to spend the day in Antigua isn't tricky on any regular day because there are 365 beaches, one for each day of the year, on this pretty Caribbean Island. But, finding a beach that is quiet and not crowded when there are multiple cruise ships in Port St. John Antigua is another thing entirely. With thousands of people disembarking a cruise ship on the very same day, you can imagine how congested a beach can get with everyone looking for that perfect patch of sand to call their own for the day. Our choice for our one special day in Antigua today is Turners Beach. It's a little far from the cruise port, but it's worth the 25-minute drive to experience this view.

White Sand Seclusion and clear blue water at Governor’s Beach Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Peace and privacy at a Caribbean beach isn’t hard to find when you visit Governors Beach Grand Turks, Turks and Caicos. If you are a cruise ship passenger to the Caribbean it’s tough at times to find a spot on the beach with space to breathe. With thousands of people from multiple cruise ships converging onto a single island, real estate on the sand with some shade often comes at a premium price.

Black sand underfoot, the cool Caribbean ocean breeze, the view of green-hilled mountains disappearing into the clouds, and the sound of the surf greet me at Shipwreck Beach St. Kitts. Shipwreck Beach offers the total Gilligan’s Island experience with rustic charm, unspoiled, laid back, and no-frills. We spent the day enjoying the black sand and sunshine on her shores on a recent cruise holiday through the Caribbean and had a fabulously relaxing time. Make sure you bring your camera with you because you might spot the vervet monkeys that live in the trees next to the beach.

Unexpectedly quiet with just the sound of the surf and the occasional car or plane is how we spent the day at Emerald Beach in St Thomas United States Virgin Islands. Since we are out next to the St Thomas Airport, I expected it to be noisy, but we didn't hear much of anything except the occasional car engine on the road one prop plane and one helicopter. Most people stayed closer to the resort and only came in our direction when they are strolling the beach. Our only neighbour was this harmless iguana.

Powdery soft sand and clear turquoise water are what can be found on Holland America Lines private oasis Half Moon Cay on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. Not all private islands are like this one, and it's no surprise to hear that Half Moon Cay regularly wins awards for being the best private beach in the Caribbean. The sand is incredibly soft with no coral, rocks or shells. There are trees for shade so no need to sit under an umbrella or inside a cabana.
