We asked an expert to share her go-to stretches of sand.

Welcome to We Love the Caribbean, a collection of stories celebrating all things island life.

“You can’t talk about the Caribbean without bringing up its beaches – the secret coves travelers can have to themselves, the marquee strands where the people-watching is as compelling as the turquoise water, and the Instagram-worthy sandbars that vanish with the tides. I’ve been writing about the region for more than 20 years and visit about twice a month, so I’ve been fortunate to spread my blanket on many of the best beaches in the Caribbean. If I had to narrow them down to my favorites, I’d start with the following nine.”  – Sarah Greaves-Gabbadon

Advisor Tip

“Blue Lagoon Island, a private paradise just off the coast of Nassau, is home to one of my favorite beaches in the Bahamas. The island offers a variety of fun activities, such as learning about local biodiversity on a Segway safari or floating in the beautiful lagoon.”
