white sand and crystal clear water
Looking for opinions for a 20 year anniversary trip. Originally was thinking of a trip to Hawaii, but really what we want is white sand beaches and crystal clear water wherever that may be - Anguilla? Aruba?St. John? Turks & Caicos?. Thinking perhaps the Caribbean would be a better value and shorter plane trip (from Ohio). We are on a budget, but do like deluxe accommodations. What island might be just what we're looking for? Thank you all.

Aruba definitely did NOT have crystal clear water when we were there. Lots of nice white sand, though.<BR><BR>We found much clearer water, but smaller beaches, throughout the Virgin Islands (US and British). St. John is beautiful but Caneel Bay is the only hotel on a good beach. You may want to look at Virgin Gorda.<BR>

Have been to Anguilla and Providenciales (Provo) in the Turks and Caicos 12 times each. Stay at the Frangipani on Anguilla and the last 7 times Coral Gardens on Provo. Spent our 40th anniversary there a year ago. Provo might be cheaper from Ohio. Understand US Airways will start to fly to Provo from Charlotte N.C. in Nov. Go to<BR>www.debbiescaribbeanresortreviews.com and click on Turks and Caicos and reviews. I have a review of Coral Gardens along with restaurant recommendations on that site. If you click on Anguilla and reviews there is a review of Frangipani. Feel free to E-mail me with questions

Hi,<BR>my fiancee and I just got back from eleuthera in the bahamas. It was just perfect. Quiet, secluded white and pink sand beaches. We stayed at The Cove. Nice small place not too fancy but comfortable. If you go make sure to rent a decent 4 wheel drive jeep to get to the great beaches which are some of the most beautiful and dramatic i have ever seen.

Turks & Caicos! Went to Provo last December. The beaches were unlike anything I've seen before. Stayed at the Allegro which has a beautiful beach in front of it. Got a car one day and traveled the whole island, found a secluded beach. I'm Getting married in St. John in Sept...I hear it's beautiful there too. Then going to Caymans in December for the beautiful carribean water again. There's really no going wrong! Someone said something about Eleuthera...that is a beautiful island as well.
