Boca Keto Beach, Aruba

A hidden gem, tucked away in the wildly beautiful Arikok National Park. This isn’t a swimmer’s beach but a delightful find for hikers in search of geological wonders.

Clearwater Beach, Florida

There is a reason they call this beach Clearwater, its crystal quality features soft sugar-white sand. Couples can enjoy access to a carnival-like atmosphere at Pier 60, making it an attractive option for couples with kids.

Grace Bay Beach, Turks and Caicos

This destination attracts honeymooners with white baby-powder soft sand and glistening turquoise water. This natural paradise is known for great shelling, breathtakingly clear water, and a shallow shoreline for walking.

Maroma Beach, Puerto Morelos, Mexico

Only 30 miles south of Cancun, but it might feel like an alternate universe. With its crystalline waters surrounded by rainforests, it’s an eco-minded traveler’s dream. Exquisite resorts feature thatched roofs, seaside massages, and all the amenities of a luxury getaway.

Hollywood Beach, Florida

Featuring a long walking beach with a great boardwalk where visitors can dine, shop, and hear live music at the bandshell just outside the lively, upscale Margaritaville hotel. This is a great beach for a pre- or post-cruise stay.

Bloody Bay Beach, Negril, Jamaica

Named after one of the first non-native settlers to the region, Chesterman Beach is famous for its breathtaking views of the glassy water and smooth sand, the waves are also perfect for both experienced and beginner surfers.

Lanikai Beach, Ohahu, HI

This is quite simply a gorgeous beach, with a wide sandy shoreline, pristine waters, and easy rolling waves, it’s the definition of calm serenity. Shade trees line the coast, so there is reprieve from a relentlessly sunny day, too. This is a lovely alternative to busy Honolulu- make your day trip into the city, rather than out of it.

Carmel Beach, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

Located at the base of Ocean Ave in one of California’s most picturesque cities, Carmel Beach is a large bay that feels cozy, tucked into the rocky bluffs. The deep soft sand, spectacular view and exquisite sunset make this a top-ranking beach in the USA.

Mission Beach, San Diego, CA

The best beach destination for active couples. Bike Rides along the coastline, long beach walks, endless water sports and an amusement park complement the lively nighttime atmosphere lovers enjoy. San Diego has something for everyone, and Mission Bay is sun-central.
