Beaches

When you charter a yacht in the Caribbean, you are going to be visiting many beaches. And needless to mention how many wonderful beaches there are here. Crystal clear water, soft white sand, palm trees and lush vegetation are standard features of most beaches. On the other hand, there are some islands, such as St. Kitts, Dominca or St. Vincent that have no sand beaches at all.
This is due to volcanic origin and activities on the islands. But these places are attractive in other ways – animal and plant life and unusual geomorphologic formations are beautiful sights as well as appealing to explorers.

In the Caribbean you can sunbathe, swim, dive, take photos, or just lay back and absorb the stunning sights around you. It would be pointless to try to list all the Caribbean beaches, or even to select the best. Some of the islands, most renowned for beautiful beaches, are Antigua, Aruba, Bahamas, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, St. John and St. Thomas.

Aruba’s Palm Beach and St. Thomas’ Magens Bay are constantly rated among the world’s top 12 beaches.

Most beaches on the islands are private properties of the hotels and are for hotel guests only. But don’t let this concern you; there are numerous wonderful beaches all over the Caribbean that are opened for public.
And when you travel around with a yacht, you are surely to find some hidden places, away from the tourist crowds. This way, even the small uninhabited unspoiled islands are easy reachable and just waiting to be discovered.
