Trying to determine which destination has the clearest water in the Caribbean is a fool's errand. I do have a favorite, though.

At the close of each day sailing the Grenadines your reward is a little sunset swimming in some of the most pristine waters anywhere on earth.

One of the top dive sites in the Exuma Islands of The Bahamas, Amberjack is a patch reef measuring about 50 feet in length that is ideal for all levels of divers.

Sailing the 60+ islands and islets of the British Virgin Islands changes your perspective in ways to which other forms of travel can only aspire.

Exuma sunset. The water, clear, cool, and inviting. The shore, deserted. No better time for a quick dip. No better place than the Exumas.

You would be hard-pressed to find a better swim workout at a resort pool anywhere in the Caribbean.

The warm, clear, and sinfully cerulean seas that encircle the 365 islands in the Exumas...

Rising with the sun and arriving at Magens Bay, St. Thomas long before the crowds is an altogether otherworldly experience.

The best pools in the Caribbean don't come with swim-up bars. They're natural saltwater pools like the Owia Salt Pond in St. Vincent.
