Enderts Beach and other Secluded Beaches

Best secluded beaches in the Caribbean?

I am looking at going to the Caribbean for 2 weeks from Dec. 29- Jan 12, and I was wonder what areas we not touristy and not crowed-- yet provide the clear blue waters? Thanks!

1. Ha ha... you're going in "peak" season... The beaches are gonna be CROWDED. Duh.
2. The beaches in the Turks and Caicos Islands are never crowded. Admittedly, they are in the North Atlantic and not the Caribbean. Grace Bay Beach, Providenciales, has for several years been judged the best beach in the world. http://www.google.com/images?q=grace+bay+beach+turks+and+caicos&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&rlz=1I7GGLD_en-GB&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=BfVjTLeMHIWglAffnLmDAw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CDYQsAQwAw
3. Well Antigua has a beach for every day of the year meaning there are 365 on the island.I wonder where they go for" Leap Year"? Antigua isn't the safest of islands.I recommend Maracas Bay in Trinadad it has to be one of the most beautidul beaches I 've been to .It;s not crowded either.Just a note though,"Maracas Bay has the only beach on the Island.The other recommendation is to visit the outer islnds of the Bahamas...ie. Andros,Eleuthra,Cat Island.....etc.
4. There are really only a few that can get very laid-back. -Turks and Caicos: These are technically not in the main Caribbean range, but very calm nonetheless. -Antigua can get calm -The Bay Islands (off the coast of Honduras) My personal choice would have to go to The Bay Islands. The beaches can get just as beautiful as other destinations, plus there's a lot to do there. They are mainly known for the world-class diving (they sit on the second largest barrier reef in the world), but are less expensive than the majority of Caribbean destinations and Belize. ROATAN: The largest and most developed of The Bay Islands. You might see a crowd or two on The West End, but when you compare this to other Caribbean destinations (Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, etc.) even The West End can be reasonable. If you want to get even more laid back, head to some of the other places on the island: such as Sandy Bay. Things to do: -Ocean Kayaking -Carambola Botanical Gardens -Diving -Snorkeling -Deepsea Submersible: this is one of the more expensive excursions, but unforgettable, and you can't do it with such quality anywhere else in the world. The captain takes you in a submarine (place is known as Stanley's Submarines), and you go deep into the Cayman Trench. -Ziplining UTILA: Utila is more laid back and cheaper than Roatan. The beaches aren't as extensive as those of Roatan, but still nice. Utila is known for the several opportunities to dive with whale sharks. GUANAJA: The hardest, and thus, one of the more expensive of the islands. However, Guanaja is unique in that it is beautifully remote, has an amazing underwater topography (caves, tunnels, canyons, etc.) and is also great for hiking. I recommend Bo Bush's Island House or Clearwater Paradise: these people will offer you the best experience on Guanaja. Things to do: -Ocean Kayaking -Diving -Hiking -Visiting local communities Also, much closer to Honduras's North Coast (yet farther from The Bay Islands) are THE CAYOS COCHINOS. These are two small islands surrounded by several cayes. They're a protected area, so this is the most secluded you can get. Best access is by a tour from La Ceiba. Great beaches, beautiful diving. I simply recommend The Bay Islands -- go now, before they lose all of their tranquility, and get as expensive as the more popular destinations.
5. Just clearing up what CraigR said...Maracas Bay is NOT the only beach in Trinidad...but i do agree it's one of the nicest on the island, as well as Toco and in Tobago i really like Scarborough but there tends to be crowded depending on what day you go
6. I, too, loved Roatan and am going back for a week in 2011.
