Thread: Your Top 3 Caribbean Ports and your favorite thing to do in them!

The question has come up from someone who hasn't sailed the Caribbean before, what are the best ports to go to. So lets try and compare notes.

Ours would be: 1)Tortola for the Baths at Virgin Gorda

2) Curacao beautiful shopping area to wander and people watch - private beach (low cost) by the dive tank.

3) St. Maarten - Orient Beach - People watching in Phillipsburg

Good topic

1. San Juan (I grew up there). Walking around Old San Juan.

2. St. Maarten-perfect day is the America's Cup in the morning, and Orient Beach in the afternoon.

3. Tortola and the Baths.

Before the hurricane, Chankanaab Park in Cozumel was a contender.

OOOEEE Bob and Phyl

1) Believe it or not. St. Thomas - at the bar at the top of Paradise Point...do nothing but drink Bushwackers and eat conch fritters. ALL DAY.

2) St. Maarten -= just walk, shop, gamble and eat in Philipsburg

3) Antigua....any beach, any where.....do nothing.

1) Barbados - Silver Moon Catamaran tour - fabulous!

2) St. Thomas - lazy day at Coki Beach talking with the locals

3) Bermuda (is that Caribbean?) - shopping in Hamilton on Front Street

So long as it is a beach, it is for me!!!!

But I really have fond memories of St.Thomas. Loved the day sailiong.
And of Grand Cayman -- loved the sting rays and the snorkeling.

St. Thomas~ Loved everything about it.... Snorkeling, sightseeing, the people

St. Maartin ~ Loved everything about it...Snorkeling, sightseeing, the people

Belize~ It has potential ....

1) St. Thomas - take the ferry over to St. John and spend the day on Trunk Bay!!!

2) St. Maarten - spend the day on Maho beach and get blasted by sand! :headbang2

3) Grand Cayman - swim with the stingrays

St Thomas - just because
St Maarten - cause the first/last time I was there it was my Birthday
Dominica - The Emerald Pool and the waterfalls

SAN JUAN: Of course, my home! full of Anthiques & History... Beautiful!
ST. MAARTEN: Colorful, great beaches, good to shopping, turquoise waters
DOMINICA: Lovely, friendly people, clean and full of greens & flowers

Caribbean is full of great & wonderful ports of call with freshnes & fun!
