I love the Caribbean as much as the next person. The turquoise water, the beachside cocktails, and the salty air that somehow makes everything taste better. However, not all Caribbean islands are created equal. Some are perfect for families with kids in tow, others are great for solo travelers looking for a little “me time.” But what if you’re planning a dreamy escape for two?

Whether you're celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, or just want a romantic getaway that includes sunshine, rum, and a serious lack of responsibilities, you're in luck. I chatted with travel experts and Caribbean regulars to find the best Caribbean islands for couples right now. These destinations bring the romance, the adventure, and plenty of places to sneak a sunset kiss (or two).

The most popular beach in the U.S. isn’t where you’d expect

Myrtle Beach came out on top

Myrtle Beach

When you think of the most beloved beach destination in America, your mind might drift to somewhere in sunny Florida or the California coast. But according to new 2025 search data, the beach topping everyone’s wish list isn’t in either state. It’s in South Carolina.

A recent study by PrivacyJournal analyzed Google search trends related to more than 100 popular beaches across the country, focusing specifically on out-of-state interest. By examining beach-related keywords like hotels, activities, and things to do, the study identified which beaches residents of each state searched for the most (excluding their own local shores). And the clear winner? Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
