Big Blue Collective on why these islands are so special: “Some places, some beaches are so worth the mission. Luckily, these little islands are stacked with hidden gems just like those above and they are scattered across 41 islands and cays. Most are off the beaten path away from the crowds, far from other boats and people. To get to these places, you have to really want to go and make the effort. Early starts are a prerequisite. So is a positive attitude to be open to the exploration and the journey. Both are crucial and half the fun. Arriving is easy, leaving can be hard. The cool thing is, it’s just the start. There’s always a surprise and something new to discover.”

Manuel Antonio Beaches — Costa Rica
Another tropical paradise awaits you within Manuel Antonio National Park in Costa Rica. This place is so popular because of its spectacular white sand beaches backed by an evergreen forest.
According to Suyash Keshari, “There is a certain essence about tropical locations that attract people from across the world. Perhaps, it’s the virgin winds that blow past the salty seas to meet the tall coconut trees. Or the crashing of waves into the soft hand. Or the calmness of deep blue water and the mysterious creatures under it. Or the simmering sun that bakes your body in gold. Or maybe, it’s the fact that when you stand in front of the ocean, you feel small. So small and powerless in front of the violent waves and yet at complete peace – and then you have a different outlook about your life. That’s exactly how the beaches of Manuel Antonio, Costa Rica made me feel. And then I knew, I was in love with the place.”
Maya Bay – Phi Phi, Thailand
Did you know that the best time to visit the world-famous Maya Bay, thanks to the global success of “The Beach,” is between November and April? Presently, the bay’s shores are “off-limits to tourists until at least June 2021” amid concerns over environmental damage. Please be guided that snorkeling in front of the bay is still permitted. In addition, visitors can still view the beach from their boat.
Palm Beach – Aruba
Palm Beach, which is located on the northwest of Oranjestad, is the most popular tourist beach destination in Aruba. If you could picture in your mind the perfect Caribbean Beach, this iconic paradise would certainly look a lot like it.
Visitors from all around the world flock to step onto the white sand dotted by palm trees and plenty of beach bars and shops. For Sarah, no matter what the weather is, “life is always better at the beach, especially when you are in Palm Beach.”
