Plus, someone mentioned earlier Water Island...we went there the last time we visited St. Thomas and loved it! Honeymoon Beach is not busy at all and just lovely!! -------------------- The Adventures of Poolie and Loolie - A Travel Journal Lost Mitten Etsy Shop - handmade goods!

I like the white sand beaches with the shades of the palm trees, the blue sky, the turquoise water and the coral bridges.

Probably not best way to pick a destination though. Totally agree. This is the best island in Caribbean. But my friend told me Anguilla is also nice too. I hope I could spend whole season there. -------------------- Which island has the most beautiful scenery along Caribbean sea?

You can't get around that island without a car, or hitchhiking everywhere. You also can't walk, because everything is far away from everything. It's bizarre. -------------------- My most recent blog: VisitPittsburgh press tour

I personally LOVE Puerto Rico, St. Vincent, the Cayman Islands and Trinidad. They're all so unique and fun in their own way. St. Lucia, Grenada and BVI and USVI are all nice too. Not too fond of Jamaica nor the Bahamas though.. very touristy -------------------- Sarah: Little girl, big dreams.

It depends on what part of the island you are on, definitely. -------------------- My most recent blog: VisitPittsburgh press tour

Expeditionist Group: Local Expert Posts: 201 Joined: 7-July 09 From: Barbados Member No.: 285187	I spent a year living in Nassau not far from the bridge into Paradise Island, so maybe I am slightly biased there.. But New Providence is definitely touristy, I know they're having a lot of local issues with foreign investors privatising the entire island with locals seeing almost no returns.. -------------------- Sarah: Little girl, big dreams.

(: It was about 10 years ago though so I wasn't very old.. Definitely not old enough for independent travel, anyway. Paradise Island sucks unless you have access to the Atlantis Resort, but when you do it's really quite fun. Hotel with 6 water slides, private beaches and an aquarium, not bad! Just shows how much privatisation exists though.. -------------------- Sarah: Little girl, big dreams. Currently living in Scotland British born, Barbados raised, slowly but surely getting out there.
