When my food-focused dreams of Provo aren't carrying me back to conch shacks, they often bring to the aptly-named Asú Restaurant. 

Grapetree Beach is tucked away neatly in a tony East End neighborhood in St. Croix, likely to the delight of area residents.

These curious jetty-top cabanas at La Créole Beach Hôtel and Spa offer an alternative to sunbathing in the sands of Le Gosier.

Never in all my years growing up in St. Croix did I ever think that I could enjoy this view, much less wake up to it everyday.

The most instagrammable and easiest to climb palm tree in St. Croix is found at Hummingbird Hideaway, along the shores of Ha'Penny Beach.

You see them along remote shores all across the Caribbean; decrepit driftwood shacks culled from detritus washed up by the tides.

If you fancy some sunny social distancing with your next beach escape, then the Abaco Islands should be on your travel planning radar.

It's all business most every day (and at almost any time) at the Frederiksted Fishermen's Pier. Every day, that is, except Sunday.

Any search for conch shells while beachcombing Turks and Caicos is easily accomplished in the vicinity of a conch shack.
