There’s nothing quite like a fresh ocean breeze to cool you, and the methodic splash of the
sea lapping at the shore as you’re stretched out in blissful calm upon a beach. Beach
vacations are superbly popular, and it’s not difficult to understand why! There’s sun, soft
sand, the gentle sounds of seabirds, relaxation in abundance, and maybe even the presence
of a cocktail or two. One of the greatest aspects of a beach vacation is that other
holidaymakers are there to do just the same as you; to chill out, take a break, and enjoy the
peace and quiet. If you’re currently searching for beach vacations, and want to be inspired to
catch a jet plane to paradise this year, then you’re in luck! Below are four of the best
destinations for beach lovers:
Hawaii
Hawaii has a long history of being famed as a tropical paradise and a beautiful retreat, and if
you’ve long been wishing to see abundant colorful fish flitting about in clear crystal waters,
then consider Hawaii and vacationing at Kapalua Bay Beach. This beach has previously
been voted as “America’s Best Beach,” as well as being the ideal space to snorkel, lounge,
and enjoy water sports. Do you want to hear the best part about vacationing in Hawaii? Of
course, you do! There’s no need to pack your passport if you’re a US citizen.
The UK
The coastline of the UK is expansive and has a high coast/area ratio, so you’re not short for
beaches when visiting. There’s a variety of islands, bays, headlands, and peninsulas. If you
have a particular penchant for surfing and catching the waves, then you’re best off visiting
Cornwall and Devon and going to the stunning places of St Ives beach, Bude, or
Woolacombe and Croyde, respectively. You can travel around the UK using the motorways
in good time since it’s a relatively small island. So, depending on the length of your vacation,
you could see Brighton beach, West Wittering in Chichester, and then on to others such as
Bournemouth or Weymouth.
Bali
Bali had earned its place in the top spots for having one of the most “Insta famous” beaches
on Earth. It’s no surprise since the beaches in Bali are truly breath-taking. You will likely
have seen the beach swing backdrop that frequently features on social media, as travelers
flock to it to position themselves in one of the most renowned spots to catch a truly stunning
Indonesian sunset.
Dubrovnik (Croatia)
You’ll be spoilt for choice in your quest to find the beach for you in Dubrovnik, as there are
simply so many wonderful spots. Have you heard of “island hopping”? Well, it involves going
from one island to the next over the course of a day, or two, or three, or for as long as you
please! You’ll have a hard time getting bored of the coastline in Dubrovnik. If you’re a fan of
the ever-popular HBO series, Game Of Thrones, then prepare for familiar settings and a strange sense of nostalgia (superfans, this one is for you!) and to enjoy finding the backdrop
of infamous scenes from the show.
