One thing I noticed on our cruise is that the islands have the same problem Florida has. The rich and corporations are taking over the beaches. It is getting harder to find a beach that is not charging for access. Some places can be pricy. One place charges over $100 to access its property. Influencers will tell you it's a great deal not to have to mingle with the locals. What's the point of cruising to specific countries? If you want a beach without locals, go to a cruise ship's "private" island. The people are what make these countries interesting. Who wants a generic beach with generic food? Those shops you look for souvenirs in are probably not owned by locals and offer all the same stuff. Try to find local spots and buy handmade goods.
