Things to do in Caribbean Islands

One of the most famous stretches of sands on the island, Eagle Beach has everything you could want from a beach: typical Caribbean good looks, plenty of shaded areas, lots of practical amenities and several enticing beach bars. Besides sunning and swimming, it’s also worth seeking out the beach’s windbeaten divi-divi trees, whose image is frequently used in Aruban tourist literature.

Extending along the northeast coast of Providenciales, this fabulous strip of sandy beach is about as close to perfection as earthly beaches go. Sunbathe on the flour-soft sands and swim in the clear, clean waters.

Luquillo Beach is a popular coastal destination amongst tourists and locals alike, and is a great place to try local street food. The area features two beaches. The main stretch at Luquillo, lined by scores of food kiosks, is often crowded and lively. The second beach is lined with palms, providing excellent shade to doze under after a meal. This is the perfect destination for anyone looking to cool down on one of the most picturesque beaches in Puerto Rico.

The only tropical rainforest in the United States National Forest System, El Yungue covers approximately 28,000 acres (11,300 hectares) in northeastern Puerto Rico. You’ll find photo opportunities and spectacular views at every turn, with waterfalls, exotic plants and wildlife.

Seven Mile Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches in Jamaica, with crystal-clear water, endless stretches of pure white sand fringed with shady palm trees, and a laid-back local vibe that marks it out from its more developed, tourist-orientated neighbours.
