When you think of the Caribbean, images of turquoise waters, relaxing vibes, and swaying palm trees likely come to mind. However, there is so much more to a trip to the Caribbean than simply lounging around. This tropical paradise offers a wide range of enticing activities for visitors to enjoy. From snorkeling and waterskiing to scuba diving and kayaking, the Caribbean has something for everyone.
Snorkeling is an incredible way to explore the underwater world of the Caribbean. With crystal-clear seas, breathtaking coral gardens, and stunning tropical fish, it’s a magical experience. Some of the best snorkeling spots include the Exumas in the Bahamas, Molinere Bay in Grenada (with its amazing underwater sculpture park), and the coast of Antigua. But for the ultimate snorkeling paradise, you can’t beat the beautiful waters around Curaçao, home to the Curaçao National Marine Park. And if you’re staying at one of the all-inclusive Sandals Resorts, like Sandals Grenada or Sandals Royal Curaçao, snorkeling is available to you as well.
If you’re seeking an adrenaline rush, head to Montego Bay or Negril in Jamaica for waterskiing and wakeboarding. These locations offer perfect conditions for these thrilling activities. Sandals Resorts in these areas, as well as Sandals South Coast, Sandals Grande St Lucian, and Sandals Halcyon Beach, include waterskiing and wakeboarding in their all-inclusive packages. Professional boats are provided for a truly memorable experience.
The Caribbean’s steady trade winds, abundant sunshine, and warm waters make it an ideal destination for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Barbados is particularly renowned for windsurfing, with excellent wave riding opportunities at beaches like Silver Sands and Silver Point. Antigua’s Jabberwock beach is another favorite among windsurfers, thanks to its reliable onshore winds. For all skill levels, Anse de Sables beach in St Lucia offers ideal conditions. Sandals Resorts, such as Sandals Grande St Lucian and Sandals Halcyon Beach, provide windsurfing opportunities for their guests.
For a more relaxed activity, kayaking off the pristine white sand beaches of the Caribbean is perfect. Grand Anse in Grenada or Mullins beach in Barbados are excellent choices. Antigua and St Lucia also offer kayakers the chance to paddle to secluded beaches protected by reefs or across sparkling waters framed by the breathtaking Pitons.
Standup paddleboarding is another fantastic way to enjoy the warm, calm, turquoise waters of the Caribbean. It’s a fun and thrilling experience, and falling off your board is all part of the adventure. At Sandals Resorts, paddleboarding is just one of many water sports included in their all-inclusive packages. Whether you’re at the reef-protected shoreline of Antigua or the exclusive white sands of Montego Bay in Jamaica, you can enjoy standup paddleboarding.
The waters of the Caribbean are renowned for their beauty and offer incredible scuba diving opportunities. Explore wrecks and spectacular coral reefs teeming with marine life, such as parrotfish, eagle rays, and sea turtles. Sandals Resorts provide certified divers with the chance to dive up to two times a day, excluding arrival and departure days. With access to multiple dive sites, Sandals Resorts in Barbados, Grenada, and St Lucia are perfect for diving enthusiasts. St Lucia’s Keyhole Pinnacles, covered in coral and home to various marine species, are especially captivating. Sandals’ dive program has even been recognized as one of the top five in the western hemisphere by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI).
If putting on a snorkel mask or learning to scuba dive doesn’t appeal to you, don’t worry. You can still marvel at the wonders of the Caribbean’s undersea world from the comfort of a glass-bottom boat. Sit back, relax, and watch as tropical fish, turtles, and coral gardens glide beneath you. Glass-bottom boat trips are available at select Sandals Resorts in Jamaica, Grenada, and Barbados.
While Caribbean beaches are typically known for their calm waters, there are some great spots for surfing as well. Barbados is the best island in the Caribbean for surfing, thanks to its exposure to the powerful Atlantic. Bathsheba beach in the north-east offers world-class waves, while Dover beach is a good spot for beginners. In Jamaica, Boston Beach and Makka beach (home to the annual Makka Pro Jamaica surfing competition) are popular surfing destinations.
For golf enthusiasts, the Caribbean offers prestigious golf courses just a short distance from the exquisite white sandy beaches. Sandals guests have access to four exceptional golf courses in Jamaica, the Bahamas, and St Lucia, with all green fees included. Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas boasts the Caribbean’s longest course, designed by golfing legend Greg Norman. With stunning views along the coast of a rocky peninsula, it’s a golfer’s dream.
