On up to the rainforest, home of 100's of species of butterfies and birds, flowering vines and exotic plants beyond description. The beach slopes steeply down to the sea which has short but often large breakers, making it tricky at times to get in and out.

All this at Englishman's Bay Tobago - a magic corner of the Caribbean - the Caribbean you dream about!
8/ Grace Bay (Turks & Caicos) – Grace Bay is the tourist strip where all the hotels are lined up. It's nice enough, but, nowhere near as spectacular as some of the other reviewers here have suggested, and the snorkeling is so-so. The thing to do is base yourself at Grace Bay and take tours to various locations around Provo where the truly postcard perfect spots are.
We did some amazing snorkeling trips and saw some to-die-for beaches and lots of marine life. If you're lucky enough to travel to this beautiful part of the world do not just stay on Grace Bay, see your Tour Desk, talk to other tourists, visit places such as Iguana Island, French Cay Island and you'll have an amazing holiday. Part of a national marine park, this beach has fine white sand, calm turquoise waters and is protected by a barrier reef.
9/ Trunk Bay (US Virgin Islands) – A beautiful beach with crystal clear waters, considered one of the best places for snorkeling in the Caribbean. A truly amazing beach. Clear, blue water, soft white sand. It's also within VI National Park grounds so the grounds are immaculate. There is only one tiny snack bar there but amazingly it's not bad for a casual lunch. If you're staying on St. Thomas and have a rental car, take the Red Hook car ferry so you can drive around St. John for a bit. Trunk Bay has sands white and sparkling, water crystal clear, little fish peeking at your toes,gently rolling swells or mightily pounding surf, all surrounded by coconut palms gracefully waving a welcome. There are also old ruins, if you are nostalgic, sun as hot as you like it, and an under-sea trail for snorkeling and sightseeing
