Best beaches

We are leaving on Jewel of the Seas in January for a southern Caribbean cruise. Any ideas on the best beaches to go to on each stop? Any additional info would also be helpful about that cruise. Thanks:cool:

Welcome to Cruise Critic. There is a section of these boards for ports of call. You would be best asking in those boards for the best beaches.

It would also help if you told us your itinerary.

Sorry, I'm new to this site. Ports of call- St. Croix, St Maarten, Dominica, Barbados, Grenada Thanks for the help

Barbados: Boatyard Beach.

Boat yard in Barbados. Maho beach for the planes in st Maarten. St croix you need to go to hotel for day rate

We are TOTAL beach people so I will tell you our favorites:

St Croix - not our favorite place - but go to Sandcastle, about 15 minutes from the port, about $25 for 2 chairs/umbrellas. Nice clean place

SMX - without a doubt unless you have little kids - ORIENT Beach. Best people watching place ever. We always sit at Orange Crush, about $20 for 2 chairs/umbrella and 2 drinks.

Barbados - ACCRA beach, so gorgeous. White sand, just beautiful. Have the cab drop you at the public area, not the TIKI HUT. Chairs/umbrella about $20. Locals sell food out of their cars, so good. Bar right there. Amazing boardwalk that is a mile long if you want a great walk..

Grenada. Grand Anse beach without a doubt. Take a taxi to get there, not the water taxi. Coming back, take the water taxi, it is $5 per person. If I remember right, about $18 for 2 chairs/umbrella. Awesome beach. There is a spice market there so you can walk through that if you want. Just a beautiful beach

We just went to St Martin

Mullet Bay beach was the perfect beach

A guidebook from your public library will give you ALL your beach options, locations, surf, etc...along with transportation, food/drink, restrooms, rentals, safety, etc. It's worth the time to check out a guidebook and read it!

St Maarten - as other posts, Maho for the aircraft (google uTube Maho) or Orient for beach and facilities. By bus or taxi.

Dominica - IIRC the beaches there are black volcanic. Not my favourite port.

Barbados - pretty-well any west coast beach, tho some are better than others for snorkelling turtles. By taxi.

Grenada - Grand Anse beach, though it's a long narrow crowded beach. Drinks service to your lounger. I'm intrigued why karena1 says water taxi back but not water taxi to. I'm a cheapskate & it's cheaper to get return tickets on the water-taxi. If Grand Anse is a bit too busy for you, get a taxi from there to the next beach along - sorry, I forget its name.

Edit. "snorkelling turtles". I think I missed out a word.:rolleyes:
