Pink Gin Beach - Grenada

Even though you may not flip on beaches you visit, you’ll certainly agree Pink Gin Beach is worth flipping for. We found these fellows flipping at the beach while others were enjoying a great afternoon strolling in the sun. Pick Pink for that leisurely walk while the sun sets. Make sure you take the camera [...]

Four Mile Beach, Port Douglas, QLD

Port Douglas has a few beaches, but one outshines them all. It’s Four Mile Beach, reachable quickly from anywhere in Port Douglas. The fun part is that once there, we found that you can literally walk 4-mile for hours! It’s so true - but if you have toddlers, be prepared. It’s a long trek. Also, [...]

Little Magens Bay Beach - St .Thomas USVI

Imagine waking up to water in so many shades of blue that you, well, never get use it. A sailboat sails slowly by as it makes its way into deeper water. You hear gulls overhead as they compete with the gentle Caribbean breeze. It’s almost hypnotizing, but you know you’re here in St. Thomas and [...]

Praia das Virgens - Virgin Beach Buzios

Sounds like something out of a book, but Praia das Virgens is an actual beach, well, a bit of sand between a few rocks, but there’s nothing else like it in Buzios, so locals love to call it one more beach in the many beaches here. And that’s OK by us because we want to [...]

Praia de Joao Fernandes - Joao Fernandes Beach Buzios

We heard that you just had to visit Joao Fernandes, so on our final day in Buzios (since we made a point to visit every beach) we jumped in the rental car and made our way to the end of the peninsula. Granted, we were there at low season, but as you can see, the [...]

Praia Brava - Brava Beach Buzios

The name says it all. The beach with the heaviest surf bears the name of “angry” in Portuguese. Brava, like many of the beaches around Buzios, has a history. This can be a good beach to swim and surf depending on the Atlantic. Most of the time you will find this beach in Buzios to [...]

Playa Monte Cristi, Montecristi - Dominican Republic

In the far north-west corner of the Dominican Republic, is the province of Montecristi. This is home to Monte Cristi Beach, or Playa Monte Cristi. Since Monte Cristi Beach sits on the Atlantic, again we are faced with some rough waters at times. Columbus first sighted this island in this area. As a matter of [...]

Playa Solmar - Cabo San Lucas

You thought about a vacation to Cabo, and the beach sounds so inviting, so consider you may spend more time there than you planned. Those crashing waves, like these on Playa (which means beach in Spanish) Solmar (and that means sun and sea). Beauty and peacefulness all in one package. It’s little wonder why people [...]

Bahia de los Suenos - Los Cabos

Bahia de los Suenos in Los Cabos is hoping for more visitors. This beach is nice, but almost deserted as it sits along the road along the east coast of the Baja Peninsula. And yes, you can drive down the beach here, but remember with the lack of population, getting out of the sand, should [...]

Praia Foca - Seal Beach Buzios

It’s not a big beach. It’s even hard to reach. So why is it people go out of their way to find this little piece of the Búzios landscape? Mainly because it really is hard to get to, so it’s never crowded. There’s enough sand for laying in the sun. Enough surf to lull you [...]
