A conversation-stopping 12-mile crescent of white sand juxtaposed against turquoise and jade hued water, Grace Bay Beach is one of the most beautiful in the world. Best of all, it is not only visually stunning, it is also accessible: the water is warm and calm, and you can snorkel just offshore. It's about as close to paradise as you can get, and this island nation keeps mass development at a minimum so it isn't marred by high-rise buildings or fast-food chain restaurants (they're banned).

Exotic beaches with white sand and turquoise waters, reminding of the Caribbean, are formed on either sides of the peninsula. The sand is pinkish in many places, taking its color from thousands of broken shells.
