Many seaside hotels and restaurants crowd this beautiful coastal town which I visited last year with my wife. It's just a shame that there wasn't much sun that day.

Dream beaches: the Baths Beach in Virgin Gorda. I have to say that the job I do is really difficult in many ways (many months away from home and family) but, obviously, it also has its positive sides. One of these is that with the ship you can reach dream destinations and, when I am lucky enough to have a little free time I can visit dream places. Like this beach on Virgin Island, truly a spectacle!

The origin of the name “Barbados” is somewhat controversial. The Portuguese, on their way to Brazil or the Spanish, are credited with being the first Europeans to choose the name for the island. The name Barbados is said to derive from the Portuguese term os barbados (the bearded ones), given to the island in 1536 by Portuguese explorer Pedro A. Campos because the long, hanging aerial roots of the bearded fig trees (Ficus citrifolia), native to the island, looked like “beards.” The name the Arawak natives gave to the island was Ichirouganaim.

Dream beaches: Great Bay in Sint Maarten. In the town of Philipsburg, the port of call of St Maarten, there is one of the beaches that I like the most in all the Caribbean. It is very close to the ship (with the taxi boat), the sand is golden, the water is transparent and relaxation is guaranteed! Yes, it's true, there are a horde of cruise passengers: but they don't bother me at all!

Spiagge da sogno: Devil’s Bay a Virgin Gorda nelle Isole Vergini. Quando sono imbarcato sulla nave raramente esco e, ancora più raramente, vado in escursione. Ma lo scorso anno, con mia moglie a bordo e con le belle escursioni a disposizione, mi sono tolto anche qualche sfizio e sono andato un pio di volte. In queste foto fi faccio vedere quanto era bella la spiaggia chiamata Devil’s Bay nella isola di Virgin Gorda. E’ all’interno di un piccolo parco naturale e raggiungibile attraverso un sentiero e poi passando in alcune grotte naturali scavate dal mare. Non credo abbia bisogno di molte parole questa spiaggia “da sogno’!

Dream beaches: the beautiful Jolly Beach in Antigua. Someone once told me that the island of Antigua, in the Caribbean, is also called "the island of 365 beaches, one for each day of the year!". Here: I couldn't say if there are 360 but I have visited at least ten and I must say that I haven't found a bad one yet! This was the splendid Jolly Beach in Lignum Vitae Bay, a very long white sand beach with many resorts behind it. Unforgettable!
