Beach

I am planning to take my gf away for her bday either at the end of march or beginning of april and am looking for a hot beach holiday and have a budget of around £300-350pp for a week. Can anybody help me with destinations and websites? Thanks

Why don’t you give a try in the island of Puerto Rico? Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, beautiful beaches, cheap hotels and in there are places were you can buy for example a beer for $1.07. Try www.gotopuertorico.com

Picture this: You and your gf seating in the sand under the shade of a coconut tree, the wind blowing your hair and both are enjoying a glass of wine or a piña colada meanwhile in the open view of the ocean you can enjoy that the sun is setting down and seems is sinking in the Atlantic ocean, leaving behind a red, orange and yellow colors on the water’s surface.

Even when the major language is Spanish mostly of the Puerto Ricans are bilingual due Puerto Rico is part of the US, also something good is that if you are from the US you need no passport to travel to Puerto Rico nor backward to your state.

Im redoing my room and the walls are going to be a sandy color and im having a beach room but what do i put in it any ideas?

Shell mobiles
A "Waterish" looking comforter
Shell Pillows
Beanie bag chairs that look like shells
A Beach theme mural
A beachy border
a stick fence, like the ones that are around the dunes at the beach/

Good Luck [;
Great Idea btw.

I love the beach and I was wondering what plants I could use to give my garden and platers that beachy feel. Can anyone help?

I love the beach too, and the one thing you see more than anything there is pampas grass. Find out if this will grow for you, and if not, then get smaller ornamental grasses to add to your landscape. You can also add potted palms (bring indoors in winter), ornamental evergreens, and beach pebbles. In planters you can use spikes and they will actually grow tall and palm looking if you bring them in over the winter.

mine fav movie is mean girls…..and i have 5 fav reality ones ….simple life..sunsettan…girls next door…the hills….laguna beach

Girl you are sooo right!!!
ok.I cant pick one movies so I’ll say all mine fav.:
Mean girls,Freaky Friday,Just my luck,Georgia Rule,Titanic,Matrix.
And ya,I love Lindsay Lohan movies!

heyy.im 15 years old, and i love going to the beach in the summer, i pobably go about twice a week =]. but for about 2 years now, i have kind of a phobia and when i go in the water i NEED to wear water shoes, im terrified of steping on crabs or broken shells. but i love going in the water. i have a pair of water shoes but they look dorky and losersh =[. a lot of people make fun of me for wearing them. if anyone has any links or knows about any sores that have cool looking water shoes please help mee!
thanks =] (please no mean answers)

Even though I don’t know what kind of water shoes you have now, I don’t think there would be any better ones that would make people stop making fun of you. I think they make fun of the fact that you are wearing water shoes in general, not how the shoes look.
I’m not trying to make fun of you either cause I hate all the crabs and stuff too and I’m sure wearing water shoes def. makes it less scary.
I guess the only thing you can do is either tough it up and go barefoot or say screw them and do what you want. Or go to a beach with clear water (unlike dirty Jersey & all that) so you can see what’s near your feet…. like go to the Bahamas…. ah j/k I wish!
Good luck though!

i want to live down either in DE beaches or ocean city MD beaches for next summer. would my best bet be to surf the web or actually find a realtor to take/show me down there. ive been trying to look online but im not having any luck!

Hi Kelly,
I have always been able to find great deals on beach houses in North Carolina and South Carolina where we go by doing it online. I checked the Ocean City and Delaware information and found the following sites that look really good:

Ocean City:
http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/usa/maryland
http://www.oceancitybeachproperties.com/
http://www.resortquestdelaware.com/ocean-city-vacation-rentals.htm

Delaware:
http://www.homeaway.com/Vacation-rentals/Delaware-vacation-rentals.htm
http://www.beach-net.com/REdel.html

You probably need to narrow it down a little more in Delaware to get more accurate information.
Hope this helps.
Good luck and have fun!!

I’ve just returned from Corfu. I can’t remember the name of the beach but anyone who’s visited it will know exactly where I’m talking about. Did any of you know Stella who sold jewellery there? One of the few genuinely totally relaxing nudist beaches around. I loved it.
Yes it was Myrtiotissa

not been there
but Croatia has beautiful clear water nudist beaches on the Istria peninsula

We just came back from a week-long vacation in St. Lucia and had so much fun on the beach and in the pool with the dj playing all day. Some of it was reggae (lots of Bob Marley!) but there were other great party songs. Can anyone think of any that they’ve heard at resorts lately?

You can grab a copy of Carnival Steel Drum band on amazon.

Don’t Worry Be Happy
Jammin’
Two Pina Coladas
Margaritaville
Hot Hot Hot
Tequila
Mambo #5
Spanish Eyes
Groovin
Red Red Wine
Kokomo
Three Li’l Birds
Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da
Day-o
Volcano
Escape
The Tide is High
Copacabana
Kenny Chesney’s newest cd has tropical things like
Keys in the Conch Shell
Tequila Loves me
Key Lime Pie

Some modern type stuff like
Shaggy, Sean Paul, Black Eyed Peas, Sean Kingston

My sister is getting married in St Thomas and we just bought three of the Carnival Steel Drum cds to play at her wedding (they have about 2 dozen different ones). You could also mix in the real version of some of those instrumental songs.

We will be going to the beach for 1 week. I do not have access to a grill and I would like to do "double" recipes so that I have some meals ready to go when we return home from vacation. I do double recipe taco meat for Taco Salads and freeze one. Any other ideas such as this for double recipes that are still quick and easy?

Tacos on the beach would be fun !

How about a 6 layer dip to start off?
