Best For: The Long Romantic Walk
Jamaica is home to Seven Mile Beach and it is just as breathtaking as it sounds. There are hotels dotted all the way along the bright white sand, the beach is protected by a natural reef making diving a popular activity here and due to the lack of a high tide, the sea is almost level with the edge of the beach. This offers a safe environment for young children to play in whilst parents relax and soak up the sun. The beach here is actually five and a half miles long, but that’s is still plenty of space to stroll hand in hand as the sun goes down and the stars come out.
Best For: An Old School Buzz
