Best beaches in the Caribbean?

I have also been to Sapphire Beach and it is very nice. On Barbados, we have been to Nelson's Boatyard--very nice and we have also been to Casuarina's--a resort--great facilities, great beach. It has a little more wave action than Nelson's. On Antigua, visited Miller's Beach. Very nice, great sand, like velvet--a lot of vendors but not pushy. A simple no thanks sent them on their way. Denise I have to write down "Miller's Beach" if I am ever in Antigua, Denise, because we seem to have similar tastes in Beaches. Howard |

Best beaches in the Caribbean?
Antigua has 365 beaches or one for every day of the year. We go to Jolly Harbor and beautiful beaches, but it is on the Caribbean side and has little if any surf. Mike Quint Thanks for all the responses! I've never been to Antigua I went to a great beach in Antigua, so they do have some good beaches there. Unfortunatly it was seven years ago and I don't recall the name of the one I went to, but there were facilities, and a bar. It was not crowded, we just asked a taxi driver to take us to a good beach where we would also like to snorkle. The driver even came back at an arranged time and returned us to the ship. -- Charles |

Sapphire Beach is part of a resort, so it has equipment rental and
outdoor dining as well. It's like being part of the resort without actually renting the hotel room. Snorkleing is good, plenty of shade for non-worshippers. I think it is the most-inclusive side trip you can do on your own in St. Thomas.

There is decent snorkeling, I am told (I don't like snorkeling). The water is literally sapphire blue in color, and unlike Megan's Bay, you actually get some surf action on this beach. I have suggested sapphire to lots of folks on our various cruises and all have loved it. Try it; I think you will really like it. Howard Gordon wrote: Can you please give me more info on Sapphire Beach? I will be in St. Thomas next week and this may work in place of going over to St. John which I have done a few times in the past. Not keen on doing the tender thing. How far is Sapphire from the ship? Thanks, Gordon "Eileen Garland" wrote in message ... I disagree, Tom. I adore Sapphire Beach on St. Thomas. I think the ferry ride to St. John is long and hot and would only go there when I'm on a cruise that stops in St. John at least in one direction. But then, I don't enjoy snorkeling, and that's probably got a lot to do with it. Different strokes... Eileen Tom & Linda wrote: For St. Thomas, there is NOTHING there as good as taking the ferry over to St. John. 90% of St. John is a US National Park. My favorite beach in the world is there - Trunk Bay. It was actually voted as one of the top 10 beaches in the world by National Geographic Magazine. We've been to St. Thomas about 10 times. We don't even bother staying there anymore... we automatically take the ferry to St. John. To me, St. John is that special. --Tom Curt120R wrote: recommendations would be appreciated. I don't necessarily want a "quiet beach", just a beach with beautiful sand and water and amenities. St Thomas St Maarten Barbados Antigua |

Best beaches in the Caribbean?
Although there's 365 beaches for every day of the year, many are cluttered with household garbage and not at all useable nor enticing. We enjoyed Half Moon Bay beach when we were there.
