February is one of the coldest months of the year in Europe. This makes it an ideal time to seek out new places that offer more friendly temperatures. In this sense, the Caribbean area is an excellent destination. Not only does it offer us a beautiful summer practically all year round, but it is also famous for being one of the destinations with the most beautiful beaches in the world. Many of the most beautiful beaches on Earth are found in this area. Therefore, so that you can get out of the cold and marvel at the natural beauty of this region, we are going to tell you about the best beaches in the Caribbean to go to in February.
Bavaro Beach, in the Dominican Republic
This beach is famous for being one of the most beautiful in the world; considered by many to be the best. It is in the region of Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic, and stands out for its fine white sands, its forests of tall palm trees that combine perfectly with its wide range of hotels. Something that is important to note about this beach is that the Caribbean waters that reach it are usually especially calm, since there are coral reefs nearby. This, in addition, makes it possible to enjoy various adventure tourism activities, such as windsurfing, kayaking, diving, among other things.
If you are interested in visiting this beach, the Eden Roc hotel in Punta Cana is located on a huge 30,000-acre property surrounded by beautiful gardens and with two golf courses. It is a complex that offers luxury accommodation in an isolated and exclusive environment, with spectacular views for a very relaxing vacation. In addition, it has a myriad of on-site activities for its visitors, including hiking the ecological trail to scuba diving and more.
Sirena Beach, in Cuba
Another of the great destinations to get to know the Caribbean is Cuba. Its beautiful beaches are famous all over the world. One of the most fascinating is Playa Sirena. It is, still, a place that does not tend to be massive, located in Cayo Largo, a small island in the south of Cuba. It stands out for its highly transparent turquoise waters and its fine white sands. It is possible to get there both on your own through a recommended transport or through an excursion from Varadero.
San Andres, in Colombia
Without a doubt, if it is about the most beautiful beaches in the world, you cannot fail to mention San Andrés. It is a unique place that has an anomaly. Although it is true that it belongs to Colombia, it is located only 200 kilometers from the coast of Nicaragua. It is an island surrounded by waters known as the “sea of seven colors“, due to the variations in depth of the area that make it possible to see different facets of the sea. But, in addition, the proximity to coral reefs is one of the elements that makes this beach very famous. Within San Andrés we can find different smaller beaches, according to all tastes.
Tulum, in Mexico
Mexico is another destination that should be considered when looking for the best beaches. In addition to being a country of great cultural diversity and with fascinating historical spaces to explore, some of the most famous beaches in the world are in the south of the country. Such is the case of Tulum, which stands out for bringing together in its region the best of different worlds. Not only do we find there a beautiful beach of golden sand surrounded by colours and the beautiful waters of the Caribbean, but we can also visit the ruins of a Mayan site. Tulum is considered a paradise on the Caribbean coast of this country.
Crane Beach, Barbados
When referring to the best beaches in the world, there is one area that comes up all the time: Barbados. Among its various beaches, the most recognized is Crane Beach. While it is true that practically any beach in Barbados can be considered one of the best in the Caribbean and the world, Crane Beach adds to this undeniable beauty a great diversity of entertainment alternatives from the local culture.
Keep in mind that all of Barbados is a coral island. This makes its beaches consist of pulverized coral, with sand of extraordinary softness. In addition, it is an area of excellence for snorkel lovers, because its proximity to the coral reefs makes it one of the best destinations for this activity and for diving.
If you want to visit this area, the Barbados Beach View Hotel is one of the best options. It offers independent accommodations in suites on the west coast, being a luxury boutique hotel 15 minutes from Bridgetown. It also provides kitchen and groceries and various food options in case you don’t want to cook.
James Bond Beach, Jamaica
Finally, another of the options that we must mention in regard to the best beaches in the Caribbean is this famous white sand beach located in Jamaica. It owes its name to the fact that it is the place where Ian Fleming wrote the anthology of James Bond novels. The villa in which the author lived has been converted into a hotel and this beach, in particular, is perfect for glass bottom boat rides as it is an area noted for a very diverse and colourful underwater life.
If you are interested in visiting the beaches of Jamaica, the Jamaica Inn is a small elegant and timeless resort located in the beautiful area of Ocho Rios. It has a total of 47 suites overlooking the beach.
