The best beach

That got your attention didn't it? It was in fact one of the aims of my big trip to find the perfect beach - you know the one I'm talking about. It's the one that comes to mind as soon as you say the word 'Caribbean'. And though you would think the perfect beach has some basic requirements, in discussing this with friends I actually found that it can vary quite a lot - do you fancy yours with waves or without? party town or quiet abandon? and will it be pink, white, golden or black sand for you?

I know it's a cliche but I'll just say it and get it over with - variety is the spice of life. And though I have my favourite beach from my big trip I don't know if it's the perfect beach...I guess what the perfect beach should be varies with people but also with moods. So when we finally found Batibou Beach in Dominica, it suited my mood perfectly. Sun would've been nice but the broody gray sky somehow worked on the abandoned expanse of grey sand on an early evening...
