The ocean and beach – why do they call us? If you are like me and land-locked, it conjures up many images and memories. If you find yourself beach obsessed, why is that? Is it picturing yourself on a remote island far, far away from your worries and to-do lists back home? Do you picture yourself at an authentic Hawaiian luau with a special drink in your hand and a lei of blossoms strung around your neck watching the sunset on the horizon of the beach? Do you picture yourself horseback riding down the coast as the sound of the waves surrounds you? How about picture yourself taking special family photos in front of the palm trees and golden shore? (Ok, let’s be real, the photo taking can be not the most enjoyable if you have small kids, but the outcome of the photos will be amazing!) Do you imagine your kids giggling and digging in the sand while you catch some rays and know they are entertaining themselves? Maybe you love hearing the term, “all-inclusive,” so you can just relax knowing you can have that extra drink by the pool or ceviche you’re craving by the sea! Do you picture snorkeling, deep-sea fishing, hiking in the nearby rainforest, eating fresh seafood, or just laying under the sun on the sandy shore? I want it all! Whatever it takes to fulfill your beach vacation, here are five top beach locations we are eyeing over here at OnPoint Signature Travel to get your travel wheels turning!
