cruisinggranmama Posted January 29, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 29, 2011 That's a tough one. So many to choose from. Any beach on Peter Island BVIs. It's like you're all alone on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin'Lady Posted January 29, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 29, 2011 for relaxation and calm swimming...Half Moon Cay. for snorkeling...Champaigne Beach in Dominica.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zookiebird Posted January 29, 2011 #5 Share Posted January 29, 2011 For sheer beauty, Trunk Bay, St. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted January 29, 2011 #6 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I agree...Trunk Bay. The water is so clear, it's hard to see it. And it's about body-temperature, so you really don't "feel" it...an odd sensation....in the super-clear, warm water, with only the buoyancy to tell you you ARE in the water.....beautiful!

trvldog Posted January 29, 2011 #7 Share Posted January 29, 2011 St Thomas , The beach in front of the Renassaince Hotel, because we were married there 18 years ago!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted January 29, 2011 #8 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Varadero, Cuba. Warm, endless, clear, can walk out a long way. Wish I was there now. Runner up would be far end of Grand Anse in Granada...away from the restaurants and beach chair rental places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seashinesunshine Posted January 29, 2011 #9 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Fort James Beach Antigua~why? special day with my husband, almost empty beach, perfect sand, clear blue water as far as you can see, got to explore the ruins of Ft James at one end, then some horses (with riders) came along, so beautiful, just one of the best days of my life!

cruiseapril Posted January 30, 2011 #12 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Magen's Bay Beach in St. Thomas- we were there on an uncrowded day-beautiful swimming. Half Moon Cay- very pleasant. Blue Bay Beach in Curacao- good swimming and snorkeling. Palm Beach in Aruba- busy, but beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also love the beach at Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda, BVI Hi Helen. Did you make the visit to Anguilla from St. Martin while cruising? We've been toying with the idea but are unsure about the reliability of the ferry boats making it back to the ship ontime. Is this idea feasible at all?

We've been toying with the idea but are unsure about the reliability of the ferry boats making it back to the ship ontime. Is this idea feasible at all? Jake[/quote Hi Jake, No, I never tried doing this and I think the ferry is not all that reliable. We stayed in Anguilla many, many yrs ago before it became so popular & pricey. We have been back a few times and always enjoy all of the beaches in Anguilla but Shoal Bay is just very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahi mahi Posted January 31, 2011 #18 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks for the heads up Helen, we'll get there some other time. We often go to Maho beach then spend time at the beach by the cruise port. Maybe we'll try Orient beach this time around, never been. Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lvz2cruz Posted January 31, 2011 #20 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Our family fave is the Baths at Virgin Gorda. It is so different and there is so much to do there. For snorkeling it would be BayaBeach in Curacao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merknerk Posted January 31, 2011 #21 Share Posted January 31, 2011 We were in Antigua at St. John's Anglican Cathedral and there were some local high school boy's there. We talked to them for a while about where to go and they told us that Jolly Beach was the best and they were right. We have now been there twice and love it. Not many people and a restaurant with good food. We took a local taxi maybe 20 minutes from the ship. You can rent wave runners and more. The water and beach are the best. You can't go wrong here.

Jake Hi Jake, If you're looking for a beach within walking distance of the port, you might want to consider the Pasanggrahan Hotel. Very small older hotel right on the beach - they have been here for yrs & yrs. They welcome cruise ship tourists and allow you to use their beach chairs & umbrellas in return for you purchasing either drinks or lunch. It is not Shoal Bay by a long shot but the pluses do outweigh any minuses. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAYSAN11 Posted February 1, 2011 #24 Share Posted February 1, 2011 My favorite beaches where, when I was on a Seadream Cruise in the US, British Virgin and French West Indies. Quite often we do a port in the morning then in the afternoon we would anchor off a small island beach and take the zodiac ashore. These beaches were beautiful and even better because they were empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdvmd Posted February 1, 2011 #25 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Another vote for Shoal Bay on Anguilla. We were on a cruise ship stop and did do this on our own taking the ferry. Had a wonderful time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
