I've gotten tired of being hustled every time I go to a beach in the
Caribbean or Mexico. Is there any place where you don't have somebody
standing there trying to sell you something when all you want to do is
read your book or take a snooze? I would rather not have a gated beach
and I will happily spend all my money on tourist junk but sometimes I
just want peace and quiet without someone standing over me going 'lady,
lady, buy a necklace' when I am sound asleep - some of these people
are pretty agressive. (I'm not foolish enough to sleep on a beach
without someone I know watching out for me).

Let me guess .... Cancun, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Domrep,
Jamaica, parts St. Lucia, Barbados and Antigua. How about BVI, Grenada,
Turks & Caicos, Anguilla, Dominica, Bonaire, St. Barts, St. Vincent &
The Grenadines, most of USVI (exc. STT), large parts of Barbados, St.
Lucia and Antigua. I guess there are many more beaches where you will
not have a problem than where you _will_ have a problem. If you go where
everyone else goes, you have to expect the effect of market forces. And
if you think it's different in other parts of the world where tourism is
one of the key earners of foreign exchange - think again.
