There is no better location to spend your vacation then at the beach. The cool wind coming off the waves, the soft, white sand at your feet, this combination is hard to beat, but with so many different beaches to choose, it is hard to pick just one.
From St. Lucia to West Bay, we compiled a list of the best beaches for 2017, sure to stir up ideas for any traveler’s next vacation.
West Bay Beach, Honduras
Just a short walk from some of the most spectacular snorkeling on Earth and with 14 hotels in the vicinity, West Bay Beach is a fun vacation spot for any beach-going traveler.
Trunk Bay Beach, Virgin Islands
Beautiful white sands are not the only lure of Trunk Bay in the British Virgin Islands, this beach also happens to be located inside a National Park. This beach location has everything a visitor needs and more, such as a marked underwater snorkeling trail.
Arashi Beach, Aruba
If you go to the beach to relax and hear the gentle lapping of the water on the shore, then Arashi Beach is just for you. With its quiet and relaxed atmosphere, locals and tourists alike visit this beach for the peace and quiet, as well as the snorkeling.
Sandy Island, Anguilla
If you are looking for paradise, look no further than Sandy Island. This tiny island off the coast of Anguilla allows for pristine, 360-degree ocean views, as well as some great swimming and snorkeling. The island also has its own seafood restaurant with some of the freshest food around.
Anse Chastanet, St. Lucia
One of the more selective, this beautiful beach on the island of St. Lucia is the perfect spot for sunbathing in the sand, or enjoying the view of the Piton Mountains from the shore. With snorkeling 10 minutes from the beach, this location is ideal for anyone looking for an extra special getaway.
Nacpan Beach, Philippines
With long shimmering coastlines and beautifully clear waters, Nacpan Beach in the Philippines is about 15 miles from the nearest town, so plan accordingly. The private feel of this beach is perfect for those looking for a great vacation, but without all the clutter and annoyance of standard beach resorts.
