Shhh, the Pelagie Islands near Sicily are a set of hidden European hideaways worth knowing about. Lampedusa is our fave - full of hidden coves and quiet corners. Just a hop away is Rabbit Island, a small fleck of sand flanked by white cliffs. We're not surprised the Italians and elusive A-list have kept quiet.

Behind the Rabbit Island in Italy there is the house of Domenico Modugno (the singer of "VOLARE" the most famous italian song in the world), the beach is also famous for the seasonal deposition of the eggs of the turtle Caretta-Caretta. Lampedusa is a 7 km long strip of rock with no trees and is the southernmost point of the whole of Italy. Very beautiful for diving and exciting when you have a dinner on the sand whit a fantastic fish!

Hi Debra,

I recently just went to Los Roques and it is by far the most fabulous place I have ever gone to and mind you I have traveled a lot! Here is a link to my blog where I recommend a great little posada for a fabulous rate: http://latinatravels.blogspot.com/2011/03/los-roques-venezuela.html I also share some tips on things to do at Los Roques. Enjoy and good luck! If you have any further questions you can reach out to me via email [e-mail]

I don't care for the beach (I'm a mountain/country gal), but dang it does Rabbit Island call my name! It's one of the most gorgeous beaches I've seen.

In the Middle Grenadines of St. Vincent are the most stunning beaches in the entire Caribbean - especially the four islands of the Tobago Cays. Horseshoe Reef surrounds them so they are set in a clam, protected sea - four uninhabited islands with pure white sand beaches and crystal clear waters of emerald and turquoise - Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Jamesby and Baradahl. STUNNING.

Only two of these pictures qualify as beautiful beaches by my standards. Los Roques and Tulum. Some of the others are not even "also rans.'
