RateHawk, the online booking tool for travel professionals, has unveiled its ranking of the 14 best beaches in the Caribbeanthat travel agents should know for 2025 and beyond. While the list includes destinations as varied as Pig Beach in Big Major Cay and Trunk Bay, nestled within the Virgin Islands National Park, we couldn’t help but notice several Caribbean islands appeared on the list more than once.  

The Caribbean is an ever-expanding tourist market with gross booked bookings (GBB) increasing by over 19% in the last 5 months, according to internal RateHawk data. In this post, we’re exploring the Caribbean islands with the best beaches. 

1.    Anguilla

Anguilla is home to 33 beaches, but two of them made the list of the best beaches in the Caribbean – Shoal Bay Beach and Meads Bay Beach. Shoal Bay is popular for water sports with a more populated area close to nearby villas, while the lower portion of the beach has a tranquil and relaxed feel. Meads Bay is just a 20-minute drive from the airport and ideal for young families or even a wellness retreat.

2.   The Bahamas

The Bahamas consists of hundreds of cays and inhabited islands, so there’s no shortage of beaches. One of the most unique is Pig Beach at Big Major Cay, just a 10-minute boat ride from Staniel Cay. If getting a selfie with a pig isn’t on your bucket list, you might feel more at home at Pink Sands Beach in Harbour Island with its pink-hued sand and beautiful azure waves. 

RateHawk’s extensive inventory makes it easy to find accommodations in the Bahamas to suit your client’s budget and preferences for a once-in-a-lifetime getaway. 

3.   Turks and Caicos

Turks and Caicos claims to be home to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Grace Bay. It’s won multiple awards and for good reason! This white sand beach is postcard-worthy and just a few minutes’ walk from the main strip, making it ideal for travelers who want to spend most of their vacation close to the sea. This child-friendly beach has calm, tranquil waters and plenty of nearby amenities. 

With RateHawk’s loyalty program, it’s never been easier to earn exclusive discounts for your clients to apply toward room upgrades or a reduced nightly rate. You can even use your points to help pay for your own trip to the Caribbean.
