Boca Grande. Super chill, quiet, beachy, and of course seafood.

My dream is a trip to Nazare, Portugal to see its huge waves. Any advice about what else is interesting there in half an hour drive? (gonna rent a car)

Hi all,
Anyone ever go here? We booked it for 7 nights in April at a great rate. Just curious if anyone has any feedback. Thanks in advance.

Dominica if you like eco-tourism, St. Bart's if you want "French Sophistication" on a small island, Grenada or St. Lucia if you crave a mountainous island with lush tropical feel, Grand Cayman if you desire something more cosmopolitan but flat and arid like Anguilla, or St. Vincent & The Grenadines if you want an experience island hopping similar to the BVI's, Barbados for the reasons mentioned by islandVet88 and perhaps Bonaire if you crave excellent snorkeling and dive sites.

One idea that comes to mind is Grenada. It has that off the beaten path charm, with stunning beaches like Grand Anse, awesome local culture, and fewer crowds than the more commercialized islands. Plus, the island’s spice plantations and nature give you more to explore beyond the beach.

Barbados is another great option. It’s easy to navigate, has a solid mix of swimmable beaches and wild surf spots, and the restaurant scene is genuinely impressive. You can stay on the calmer west coast or head to the south for a livelier vibe.

We have traveled many times and chartered a cat in the BVI, but this will be our first visit to St Vincent and the Grenadines. Staying a few days on Bequia at Bequia Beach, Cat for 6 days through the Grenadines, and last couple days on Granada at Mount Cinnamon. Any ideas on what not to miss? Enjoy light hiking/exploring, beach bars, live music, local flare. Thanks in advance.

Fourth trip happening in March. Have not been there since 2010 but I do notice significant new developments with beach chair rentals as I browse https://www.insandoutsbarbados.com/.

Beside Accra Hotel there is a cluster of refreshment huts and I know that via Patricia we rented chairs.

Don't miss the Mac n Cheese at a Chefette!

The last time we went I actually checked a couple of beach umbrellas and left them behind in our VRBO for the next visitor. We like to take our umbrellas, cooler & blanket and explore. Bottom Bay, Foul Bay, Crane (turn left away from the resort beach), Cattlewash near Bathsheba will all give you unique beach experiences.
From what I have seen online many of these formerly deserted beaches now have some facilities.
