Powder soft white sand and turquoise water framed by iconic fofoti trees.

What you'll do

Escape to the world-famous Eagle Beach, where powder-soft white sands meet crystal-clear turquoise waters. Ranked #2 best beach in the world by TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Best of the Best in 2023, and #1 in the Caribbean, this is your sanctuary for pure relaxation. Visit at golden hour to watch the sun dip below the horizon framed by the iconic Fofoti trees.

Why it's on the Playbook

Eagle Beach consistently ranks among the world's best, with soft white sand and the iconic fofoti trees that frame the sunset. The beach is wide enough that you can usually find your own stretch of sand.

Pro tip

Arrive 30 minutes before sunset for the best spot near the fofoti trees. Bring a light wrap, because the breeze picks up beautifully in the evening.
