This place is beyond beautiful. The water is crystal clear even at a depth of 6 feet, and the beach is covered in golden sand. The photo truly captures its beauty.

Emerald Beach
10 Sara Nalani

The beach is stunning, with pristine white sand and inviting turquoise waters. However, it seems that access to the beach is limited to resort guests.

The beach boasts a breathtaking underwater seascape, and to top it off, the sand is fine and white. It's a natural wonder that is definitely worth a visit for any beach lover.

Playa Gibara
9 Betina D.

Caledonia Beach holds a special place in my heart, as it has given me some of my most cherished moments and memories. This serene haven is a hidden gem, with a peaceful atmosphere and a scarcity of tourists. The local cuisine is delectable and adds to the overall charm of the place. However, the only downside is the occasional lack of electricity and the presence of mosquitoes. Despite these minor issues, Caledonia Beach is a tranquil oasis that I would recommend to anyone seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Playa Blanca
8 HIRA

It's a fantastic destination for a getaway with both friends and family.
