Marigot Beach, St. Barths
This narrow stretch of U-shaped beach in St. Barths is mostly known to locals. Its waters are part of a marine sanctuary, which makes it perfect for spotting the abundant sea turtles, conches, and marine life that call this region home. While conveniently located near boutique hotels and villas in the Pointe Milou and Grand Cul de Sac areas, there are no restaurants, bars, or shops on Marigot Beach—making it truly off the tourist path.
Honeymoon Beach, St. Johns
On the north shore of St. John sits Honeymoon Beach, tucked along the lush green hillsides of the island, shaded by large sea grape and coconut trees. Perfect for lounging, snorkeling, paddleboarding, or any number of watersports, the beach features panoramic views of the islands of Grass Cay, Mingo Cay, and Lovango Cay. A one-mile hike through the Virgin Islands National Park takes you from the quaint village of Cruz Bay to Honeymoon Beach, where you can bathe in crystal-clear turquoise waters.
Norman Island, British Virgin Islands
A breathtaking spot on the southern tip of the British Virgin Islands archipelago, Norman Island is said to be a source of inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson’s pirate novel Treasure Island. You won’t find any pirates here today—only the island’s cliffside wild goats and uninhabited stretches of beach, with hidden bays and water-level caves, perfect for snorkeling and perhaps a little treasure hunting.
Sandy Ground, Anguilla
This tiny island paradise of Anguilla features limestone caves to explore, sea turtles and native birds to observe, and the most incredible sandy beaches in all of the Caribbean. The long crescent-shaped beach of Sandy Ground welcomes sailboats and local yachts. Due to its hilly coast, Sandy Ground is protected from winds, making its pearl-white sand perfect for strolling, and its turquoise waters perfect for wading. Of the more than 30 accessible beaches on the island, almost all of them are deserted—it is rare that you will encounter more than a handful of visitors on any given day.
Bequia, the Grenadines
Just seven square miles of quiet lagoons, reefs, and silvery stretches of sand, Bequia, quite simply, beckons. This sleepy island has a magical quality and is quietly celebrated for its idyllic and deserted beaches, which meld into coves that only scuba divers, snorkelers, and kayakers have heard of. Its carefree ambiance is indescribable.
Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe
The Guadeloupe archipelago of seven islands—including Basse-Terre, Grande-Terre, Marie-Galante, and Îles des Saintes—offers adventurers some of the best snorkeling opportunities in the Lesser Antilles. From our anchorage in Terre-de-Haute, snorkel at Plage du Pain de Sucre and Plage de Anse Mire, entering the water anywhere from these tiny, secluded beaches.
Rodney Bay, St. Lucia
Sitting pretty on the northwest coast of St. Lucia, horseshoe-shaped Rodney Bay is fringed by secluded sandy beaches. Dip your toes in the sand at Reduit Beach and gaze at Pigeon Island National Landmark, relaxing under the shade of your umbrella. The islands breathtakingly varied landscape includes the towering Pitons, lush rainforests, volcanic-sand beaches, and colorful coral reefs.
