Which Island Has the Caribbean's Most Perfect Beaches? You'll Never Guess

By Christine Amorose / C’est Christine

I didn’t originally go to Curaçao for the beaches: The island has miraculously good weather year-round, and I was more enamored with the Insta-dream of colorful buildings. But as soon as I arrived, I was blown away: The water is crystal clear, and it is such a stunning shade of turquoise that I could hardly believe it was real. The sand was soft,  the water was refreshing without being freezing, and the calm surfaces were gentle like lagoons. In short: The beaches here are perfect. And the good news is there are plenty to choose from, no matter your location or budget: private and public, expensive and free, east side and west side.
