Grenada
Grenada is often overlooked, meaning those who do visit can experience the island’s white sand beaches and laid-back vibes without burning through their savings. Plus, it costs absolutely nothing to walk through Grenada’s colorful capital, St. George’s – including its aromatic Market Square – and lounge on Grand Anse Beach’s gorgeous white sand. The months from summer through fall are perfect times to visit: Deals on lodging and flights abound, and crowds are scarce.
Barbados
Finding a bargain in Barbados will require patience, especially if you plan to visit in winter. Warm temperatures, turquoise waters and lively festivals draw visitors in droves. If you can wait until May to experience the island, you’ll find agreeable rates comparable to those available during the hurricane-prone summer months. What’s more, all of the island’s 70-plus miles of white sand beaches are free to visit, regardless of where you stay.
