1. Pink Sand Beach, Bahamas. Rated as one of the “Best Bahamas Beaches” by The Travel Channel, the beaches of Harbour Island draw people in because of its blush, pink sand. However, it’s indisputable that the warm, crystal clear ocean waves are what keeps them around. The waters provide superb diving, boating and fishing. Plus, the surrounding reefs with serene waters are excellent for swimming and snorkeling. If you’re at a Paradise Island Harbour resort, you’ll be just a hop and a skip away from a blissful day at the beach. You’ll be, shall we say, tickled pink.
2. Palm Beach, Aruba. This pearly white sanded beach with placid water is perfecto for anyone who wishes to go swimming. On top of that, this beach is lined with resorts like the Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort & Casino, providing amenities and services galore. Want a snack? You got it. Want a mojito? (yummm) You got it. Want to rent some equipment and head out on the water? Got that too. All resorts here open their amenities and grounds to the public, so you’re a seashell’s throw away from everything you could possibly want. You’ll be happy as a clam at Palm Beach – it’s one of the most beautiful of our top 5 beaches for multi-generational vacations.
3. Mullet Bay Beach, St. Maarten. The water here is an eye-popping turquoise, the likes of which you've never seen before. It might just be the quintessential Caribbean beach, as it's lined with fringy palms and there are volcanic mountains in the distance. For all you surfers, the water is ready for you. If you just want to snorkel or chillax and tan, that's okay, too. If you want, you can even learn a little Dutch, as this sandy spot is on the Dutch side of the island. Nevertheless, everyone in your fam will find something to do (and be happy about it) at this Beach Eden.
4. Seven Mile Beach, Jamaica. The longest beach in Jamaica, Seven Mile Beach is known as one of the island’s finest. Along with its alluring azure water and sugar-white sand, it’s lined with a bundle of resorts that offer plenty of beachin’ activities. Don’t worry, it also has a number of designated areas for your swimming and sunbathing (and drinking) needs. Snorkel through the crystal-clear surf, challenge your honey to a kayak race, see your youngster’s first footprint in the sand, enjoy the underwater abyss on a glass-bottom boat tour, savor a few cold Red Stripes on the sunset catamaran cruise – you name it, Seven Mile Beach’s got it. It’s not surprising that it made our list of the top 5 beaches for multi-generational vacations.
5. Jolly Beach, Antigua. The sand is gorgeous and the mountains will take your breath away. You can do as much or as little as you want in this slice of heaven.
