Top Beaches for Beach Thursday

Top Beaches for Beach Thursday

by on February 24, 2011 in Beach, Guest Post

All winter I decided to post a weekly story about a beach destination. A story every Thursday designed not to  just to warm us up, (especially those of us in winter), but also showcase all type of beaches from historic to the idyllic. I embraced the “Beach Thursday” concept.  However, this idea was not my […]

An Afternoon at Nest Key

An Afternoon at Nest Key

by on February 10, 2011 in Beach, Destination, National Park Travel

When you think of the National Park Service, you rarely think of a beach. Yellow Stone, Yosemite, and the Grand Canyon come to mind. Yet, I grew up visiting a National Seashore – Sailor´s Haven, Fire Island. It is part of the National Park Service, but not a ‘Park.’ Semantics? Maybe, but I did find […]

The Los Cabos Super Bowl Fiesta

The Los Cabos Super Bowl Fiesta

by on February 3, 2011 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel

As we approach the Super Bowl Sunday I am reminded of last year and my Mexican Fiesta. After leaving a vacation ownership pitch (the time share pitch) I exited on the beach side and walked down towards Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas. I arrived to a megaphone frenzy. Shots, dancing, and a dating game dominated […]

Exploring the Cape of Good Hope

by on January 27, 2011 in Beach, Destination

The Cape of Good Hope might not be the beach one dreams about when imagining the idyllic with frozen drinks and palm trees.  For that, it might be more of a pacific island paradise, such as the Gili islands. Nonetheless, it’s clear blue water and landscape to provide a spectacular scene. Plus most all travelers […]

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

Surf’s Up in the Land of Smiles – Thailand

by on January 20, 2011 in Beach, Destination

On any journey, I always search for a place to surf. As I mentioned in last week’s Beach Thursday post, when I hear “beach,” I think ‘surf’ or ‘ocean.’  And when traveling to Asia, I knew about the beaches, but I didn’t know about the surf outside of Indonesia. I researched and discovered a beach […]

Oh “MamMitas” the Beach Club of Playa

Oh “MamMitas” the Beach Club of Playa

by on January 6, 2011 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel

In Mexico, “playa” might translate to beach, but “Playa” means Playa del Carmen. And when travelers visit Playa del Carmen, the  beach where the “in crowd” goes to see and be seen remains Mamitas Beach Club. Located on 28th street, a few blocks north of the popular nighttime haunts, the party begins on the beach.  […]

The Sands of Stone Island, Mazatlán

The Sands of Stone Island, Mazatlán

by on December 30, 2010 in Beach, Destination

I didn’t see or step on one single stone.  And it’s not an island either, although the quickest and easiest way to arrive is across water. Stone Island takes its name from a town that needed to be relocated years ago. However, today all you need to know is that it’s a perfect place to […]
