We have spent the better part of a month travelling the islands coastline. From the more remote upper east coast to the touristic south west, this country has a bit of everything. Something that unifies all of the beaches though, is how overwhelmingly great they are. Some were greater than others though, so here’s our run-down of the best.

Our worldwide travel itinerary: 23 countries, 10 months.
