Everyone loves a beach vacation \u2014 especially when winter rolls around. The Caribbean is the perfect place to escape from the cold, with beautiful beaches and sunny skies to enjoy. Your options for Caribbean beaches to visit are countless. But maybe you\u2019re wondering which Caribbean beach is the best? We\u2019ve tried to narrow it down for you (along with suggestions on great resorts to stay at in each destination). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Thomas: Magens Bay Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protected by a heart-shaped bay and sparkling blue waters, Magens Bay is St. Thomas\u2019 signature beach. It\u2019s easily one of the most picturesque spots in the entire Caribbean \u2014 which means that it\u2019s also the island\u2019s most popular beach, with fishing, snorkeling, sunbathing and swimming all very easily accessible. Fortunately, Magens Bay is big enough for everyone to enjoy, so bring a picnic, a blanket and sunscreen to take advantage of this incredible place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aruba: Palm Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Palm Beach is what most of us picture when we think of a Caribbean beach, offering visitors two miles of golden sand and gentle surf, just steps from most of Aruba\u2019s best resorts. It\u2019s always beautiful, but if you\u2019re in the mood for romance, Palm Beach at sunset is downright jaw-dropping. You can even book a candle-lit dinner on the sand for an unforgettable Aruba date night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bahamas: Cabbage Beach<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cabbage Beach, located on the Bahamas\u2019 aptly named Paradise Island, will exceed your wildest dreams. Many claim that it has the softest sand in the Caribbean \u2014 and once you feel it in between your toes, you\u2019ll probably be inclined to agree. It\u2019s not all rest and relaxation here, though. The hidden cove at the end of Cabbage Beach offers some of the best snorkeling in the Bahamas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. John: Trunk Bay Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nestled on St. John\u2019s scenic North Shore, Trunk Bay is one of the most photographed beaches in the world. But its most incredible feature is actually hidden beneath the waves. The Underwater Snorkeling Trail is an amazing experience which guides eco-adventurers through an aquatic wonderland. Follow the underwater signs and you\u2019ll discover a colorful coral reef and its many marine inhabitants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cayman Islands: Seven Mile Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crescent-shaped beauty on the western shore of Grand Cayman Island, Seven Mile Beach actually only spans five-and-a-half miles. Technicalities aside, no one could come away from a visit here feeling disappointed. Seven Mile Beach\u2019s clear waters and coral sands have made it a favorite of international travelers for over a century. The gentle waves make it a great place for watersports, from paddleboarding to jet skiing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

St. Martin: Long Bay Beach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 37 beaches on the island of Saint Martin \u2014 so you\u2019ll have no shortage of options during your vacation on this particular Caribbean island. But Long Bay, a white-sand wonder located on the destination\u2019s western coast, is the beach that stands above the rest. As you might guess, it\u2019s a long stretch of pristine coastline, and it is often less crowded than other St. Martin beaches. Stick around until sunset for some natural fireworks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
