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.
