The Beach at The Moorings in Islamorada, FL

The Moorings, or Moorings Village and Spa is a high end luxury property.  Visitors essentially stay in beach front houses not hotel rooms. And […]

Parasailing in the Upper Florida Keys

Sunset Sunday-The Mazatlán Carnaval Parade Halftime Sunset

by on February 17, 2013 in Sunset Sunday

Sunday’s spectacular Carnaval Parade in Mazatlán even provided the 400,000 who lined the malecón with a vibrant half time show – the sunset.

A Spring Lake Summer Surf Session

by on February 7, 2013 in Beach

As a New Yorker, I am not supposed to be a fan of New Jersey. But truth be told,  I learned to surf at the Jersey Shore and I am a fan. My first time paddling past the break was in Spring Lake, a beach where I spent seven straight summers.  I had some good […]
