Yes, that's Rihanna, and yes, she frequents Crane Beach in Barbados. The island, furthest Caribbean island in the Atlantic, is known for its British style and of course its hot local women. Barbados is an extremely popular spot for scuba diving

Ko Phi Phi gained prominence after it was the setting for the movie "The Beach" starring Leo DiCaprio in 2000. The beach has seen an explosion in tourism since then, especially by good looking girls who possibly weren't aware that it was only a movie and Leo doesn't, in fact, live on the beach. In any case, the beach is beautiful and peaceful and known as a place that the most beautiful women in Southeast Asia come to frolic (if that's your thing).

The beach was heavily damaged by the Tsunami in 2004, but has been recovering since and tourists have begun returning to the beach en masse.

Punta del Este is growing in popularity and ritz, and is known as the "St. Tropez" of South America, the spot where the richest and most beautiful people in all of South American come to vacation. It's located in Uruguay (that's on the Atlantic for you geography failures). Amazingly, the beach is still accessible to the poor beach bums like yourself who only can dream of such a lifestyle. Around Christmas, the town's population will explode from 10,000 to 1million people.

Bora Bora's most popular public beach, this beach is not only far away (about 42 hours by air I think), but also remote (a prop plane from Tahiti). Despite its distance, it rewards travelers with incredibly clear shallow water in which to snorkel/scuba. It's not unusual to be able to sail 1/2 mile out and still be able to stand in the water and see your feet.

Found on the island of St. Bart's in the Caribbean, this former French colony is likely on the list for one historical tidbit - at one point in history, it was a Swedish colony. This, of course, means that there is Swedish blood in the population, and though it isn't medically proven, Swedish girls have a special gene in their DNA which makes them look smokin' hot in a bikini.

The island's most famous beach is St. Jean Beach, popular for its beautiful beach and with tourists for its lack of families and mellowness.

Located in Negril, the 7 Mile Beach is one of the longest continuous undisturbed beaches in the world. During Spring Break, or in the early Summer, the beach is backed mile-to-mile with bikini-clad tourists. The beach is well developed with resorts and restaurants and remains one of the most popular honeymoon spots in the world.
