We asked long-time Caribbean cruiser and All At Sea contributor Liesbet Collaert to put together a photo-essay of the ten most scenic anchorages in the Caribbean.
Liesbet says: “Prep your boat, lift anchor and sail to one of these Caribbean bays. There, from the comfort of your cockpit – cocktail in hand – you can enjoy a million dollar view without spending a dime.â€
1. St. Pierre, Martinique: Impressive Mont Pelée volcano, a black sand beach and the historic waterfront comprise this number one view
2. Paradise Beach, Carriacou: Anchoring here rewards you with an all-inclusive view: a beautiful beach with local boats opposite Sandy Island and Union Island’s peaks
3. Double-breasted Cays, Bahamas: Technically not in the Caribbean, but worth the “detour”: sandy bottom, the clearest water and the whitest sand spits
4. Chichime, San Blas, Panama: Heaps of palm trees, white sand and an indigenous culture: paradise found!
5. Saline Island, Carriacou:
A deserted beach, an old kiln, reefs, clear water and hills surround you
6. Low Bay, Barbuda: An infinite beach, just for you …
7. Tobago Cays, SVG: Hello beaches, palm trees, clear water and emerging turtles!
8. Morne Rouge, Grenada: One of the best places to watch sunset
9. Marigot, St. Martin: Fort St. Louis and the French capital at your fingertips
10. Salt Whistle Bay, SVG: An attractive beach, waving palm trees and amazing sunrises
