Skip the crowded cruise ship ports and hike the 15-minute trail from Friar’s Bay for actual peace and quiet. This spot hits differently with its untouched sand and clear, turquoise water. Most people stay for about three hours before the sun gets too intense. If you have the budget, the Three Beach Hopping Motorboat tour is wild, but honestly, a beach towel and a cooler are all you really need here. Bring your own shade.
