Grace Bay is "the most beautiful beach in the world," according to one of our readers. The beach boasts "soft perfect sand" and "wa- ter clear as glass"— perfect for swimming and snorkeling. GRACE BAY, TURKS & CAICOS Readers call this beach on the island of Vieques “amazing” and “simply beautiful.” The beach is named after its lush, green surroundings, and is popular for swim- ming, snorkeling, and surfing. Come evening, retire to the impossibly luxe W Resort & Spa for cocktails and shut-eye. The secluded and “abso- lutely gorgeous” Trunk Bay is “perfect and ex- clusive,” report Traveler readers. Draws include the crystal clear sea, powder-white sand, and “exquisite” snorkeling. If you get tired of the sun (it’s been known to happen), there are hik- ing trails into adjacent green hills, where you’ll find ruins of historic sugarcane plantations.
