One of my favorite destinations in \nthe world is the Caribbean with its warm waters, sandy shores, and great\n cocktails. With so much destruction during Hurricane’s Irma and Maria \nover a year ago, I am thrilled to report most of the best beaches and \nwaterfront hotels are back in action with quite a few of them better \nthan before. The perfect retreat for millions of tourists worldwide, the\n Caribbean not only offers up an amazing escape from cold winter \nclimates but also creates memories to last for a lifetime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some of my finest memories include floating in the bathtub-warm\n waters of Aruba, sailing in the British Virgin Islands, deep sea \nfishing in Nicaragua and countless others. I have included several \ndestinations like Bermuda, Turks & Caicos and the Bahamas that are \nnot in the Caribbean but are an important part of the area, and also \nfeature stunning beaches. I have become a bit of a beach aficionado \nhaving personally visited most of these beaches and am excited to \npresent my favorites for 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anguilla<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This two-mile sandy beach with soft, powdery white sand also offers \nup several great bars, restaurants and some amazing resorts. Busier than\n other beaches in the area but on Anguilla nothing feels crowded. \nRunners-up include; Maundays Bay, Meads Bay, Rendezvous Bay, Merrywing \nBay, and Savannah Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s great about Darkwood Beach is that there’s not a single \nbuilding on it. It feels like an escape from reality. It’s undeveloped \nbut still easily accessible. Runners-up include; Valley Church Beach, \nDickenson Bay, Runaway Bay, Ffrye\u2019s Bay, Crab Hill Bay, and Half Moon \nBay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have visited this beach for over 15 years, and while it can often \nbe crowded with a mix of East Coast beach lovers and Venezuelans, the \nsand and water keep me coming back for more. This is a special place \nthat has become the ultimate getaway for so many people. Come as \nyourself and never be judged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While not in the Caribbean I had to include this stunning island, \nowned by a fabulous couple David Hew and his husband Michael King and \nfeatures one of the most spectacular beaches in the Bahamas. Completely \nsecluded for privacy, this is one of the best retreats in the world with\n a barrier reef for snorkeling. Runners-up include; Stocking Island, \nExumas with the swimming pigs, Old Bight Beach, Cat Island, Old Fort \nBay, Nassau, Treasure Cay Beach, Abaco, Sand Dollar Beach, Great Harbour\n Cay, and Cabbage Beach, Paradise Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the most famous beach in Barbados and is surrounded by cliffs\n and lots of soft sand. Runners-up include Bathsheba Beach, Dover Beach,\n Mullins Beach, and St Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enjoy the feeling of seclusion on your own patch of perfect beach, \nwhile being close to all the happenings of the local village. Take a \nkayak out to see the sunset over Victoria’s Peak, one of the highest \nmountains in Belize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not in the Caribbean but a major destination for superyachts and \nwealthy Caribbean island hoppers, the calm water and hidden coves of \nthis stunning beach can sometimes get crowded but you can venture \nfurther down the beach for a secluded experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have visited this beach as a cruise ship passenger on multiple \noccasions, and there is nothing better than drinking from the Soggy \nDollar Bar and relaxing with friends on this charming island paradise. \nRunners-up include Sandy Spit, Loblolly Bay, Devil’s Bay in Virgin \nGorda, Prickly Pear, Cane Garden Bay, Smugglers Cove, and Apple Bay in \nTortola<\/p>\n\n\n\n The beach measures only 5.5 miles, but its gorgeous clear waters and \ncoral sands have made it one of the top picks by magazines every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Located four hours from the capital city, San Jose this is a \ngreat beach for more laid back travelers where sloths are a regular part\n of the scenery. The nearby town gets lively after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This beach is about 2 miles of white sand with turquoise colored \nwater. Guardalavaca is known for its sporting activities such as \nsnorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea fishing, tennis, windsurfing, \nvolleyball, catamaran sailing, and kayaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With its clear turquoise water, waving palm trees and white sandy \nbeach, Cas Abao is a true paradise. Located at the northwest coast of \nCura\u00e7ao, the beach is ideal for swimmers with great reefs for \nsnorkeling. Runners-up include Playa Knip, Westpunt, Playa Porto Mari, \nKlein Curacao, and Groot Knip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The reward at the end of this hike down a steep cliff to the \nbeach below is a large waterfall crashing on the beach. One of the most \nmemorable beach experiences ever. Runner-up is Batibou Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This spectacular secluded beach is one of the most beautiful in the \nDominican Republic and has won many travel awards. The white sand beach \nstretches about five miles and remains very secluded, far away from any \nresorts or hotels. Best way to arrive is by ATV to this paradise. \nRunners-up include Saona Island and Playa Bavaro.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of my favorite destinations in the world is th […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-update"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2979","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2979"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2979\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2979"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2979"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/millionairemag.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2979"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} UNICEF Is Fighting To End Violence Against Women <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
