Caribbean hideaways flagged
A March 22 guide rounded up 20 Caribbean 'hideaway beaches' promising privacy and untouched shoreline — curated for travelers chasing quiet spring escapes away from crowded hotspots (caribjournal.com). Royal Caribbean is also tweaking access options in Cozumel and opening flagship beach clubs in The Bahamas, expanding how cruisers and beachgoers reach curated shore experiences (caribjournal.com) (thetraveler.org).
Caribbean Journal published a Guy Britton photo gallery on March 22, 2026 that identifies 20 specific “hideaway” beaches across the region. (caribjournal.com) The gallery highlights White Bay in Exuma and notes the sandbar is typically reached by boat—often via a bonefishing guide who knows the cuts through the flats. (caribjournal.com) La Sagesse in Grenada appears on the list and Carib Journal’s coverage says the beach is about a 40–45 minute drive from Grand Anse or the airport, reached by a road that winds through hills and small villages. (caribjournal.com) The slideshow also includes Tarpum Bay on Eleuthera, described as a quiet fishing settlement on the island’s southeastern coast, and BBC Beach/Morne Rouge near Grand Anse, cited for its sheltered curve and calm water. (caribjournal.com 1) (caribjournal.com 2) Royal Caribbean issued a March 12, 2026 release saying its Royal Beach Club Cozumel project will build a dedicated public beach-access pathway in Cozumel’s Zona Hotelera Sur as part of the development. (royalcaribbeangrouppresscenter.com) The company said current public access will remain uninterrupted during the transition, and local reporting has flagged Mexico’s sensitivity around beach access as a key reason Royal Caribbean emphasized an ongoing public-entry option. (adept.travel) (caribjournal.com) Royal Caribbean’s Royal Beach Club Paradise Island spans roughly 17 acres and the developer says the project includes a public‑private model that would invite Bahamians to own up to 49% equity and create hundreds of construction and long‑term jobs. (royalbeachclubatparadiseisland.com) The company began construction on its Bahamas beach-club project with a groundbreaking in April 2024 and opened the first Royal Beach Club in Nassau in late 2025, while Royal has scheduled additional Royal Beach Clubs including Cozumel (2026) and Lelepa in Vanuatu for October 2027 as part of its 2027–28 Australia season.
