Shoal Bay is "the most beautiful beach in the world," according to one of our readers. Others call it a "quiet oasis, just surreal," and liken it to "walking into a fine piece of art." Yeah, we'd probably agree.

Galley Bay Resort

Galley Bay has been described by our readers as "quiet and wonderful" and a "true paradise." Though the nearby Dickenson Bay and North Beach also get plenty of love, you can't beat a white sand beach that's "just out of this world." If you're feeling fancy, grab a cocktail at the Galley Bay Resort's beachside bar (we recommend the Crimson Tide).
