Beach

I’ve saved some money and want to go on a beach vacation during the winter here(Europe). I was thinking about Miami but I would really like somewhere where its not too damp. I was also thinking about Dubai but the laws there are a bit strict and awkward…
What I want from the place is all year summer with temp. of around 30°C, nice beaches and green areas but with as less humidity as possible…
Do you have any suggestions?

I’d say that Southeast Asia is your best bet because it’s the right temperature in December, but not too humid that time of year, and it gets nicely cool at night. The most obvious choice would be Phuket Island in Thailand, where you can choose an area that fits your style. Patpong Beach is filled with the party crowd, and other areas are mellow and good for families or couples.

In Thailand you also have various smaller islands that are cheaper and have different styles as well. A few are near Phuket (which is a large island that doesn’t feel like an island) so you could stay half the time in Phuket and then head to Ko Phi Phi, for example, for the rest of the holiday. And Thailand is the opposite of Dubai, rules-wise, so if anything you need to be careful not to get too crazy yourself because it’s easy to do, and possibly dangerous.

My husband and I want to go on a beach vacation this coming December. He is 21 and I am 20. We are wanting to spend no more than $3,500 for the trip itself (not including food and stuff). We also want it to be between 6-10 days. We have looked into Atlantis in Nassau, the U.S. Virgin Islands and cruises. We have been on cruises and we have been to nassau before. Does anybody have other places that are fun to go? Or have you been to these places and think there is one better than the others?

Jamaica

I’m looking for a cheap tropical beach vacation out of the United States. I was thinking Jamaica or Costa rica but I’m thinking they’re a lot better vacation spots in a different country. I want to spend less than $3,000 on the hotel + flights. So any good vacation spots? and if you been to one recently I’d like to know how the trip is. Thanks.

What about Fiji? This place will provide you the atmosphere you need for your dream tropical beach vacation! I have been there several times and I am just amazed by its pristine beaches! If it was up to me, I could stay there forever! There are also many entertainment places where you can rest, dance or meet new nice people! And about the accommodation you can make the booking using one of the websites offering hotel accommodation such as http://www.expedia.com, http://www.booking.com, http://www.hitrooms.com. Personally i prefer to use the last one as it is a book now and pay on arrival system! It means that you just have to make the booking in advance so that you can secure your room and pay for it as soon as you arrive there! What’s more the price they offer me are quite reasonable as for me and for sure the price of the hotel will meet the above mentioned budget! So I will give you the link so that you can have a look and make your decision!

Good luck and enjoy your future tropical beach holiday!

I’d like to go on vacation in early September with my girlfriend and we’re looking for a good beach. I like remote beaches, nothing like Myrtle or beaches that are packed with party people or families. Im looking for something from the Outer Banks all the way down to NORTHERN South Carolina. We’re college students so we’re not rich, so please no beaches lined with private beach houses. Any ideas or recommendations?

OK the northern Outer Banks is good but why not go whole hog and do Ocracoke. You can only get there by ferry, it’s still warm, the water is warm – like summer, most of the tourists are gone. Take your bike or rent one for your stay and leave up your car parked. Check out www.tripadvisor.com. You should be able to get some good rates after Labor Day. Yeah, you would like Ocracoke. It’s unique in the ways you are looking for.

BTW – if you cross from Hatteras Village the ferry is FREE!

I’m going on vacation in a week and I wanna know what to wear! I want some suggestions for clothes to wear to the beach and throughout the week. I’m 13 and like to wear easy comfy clothes. I like preppy stores like AE and A+F. I also like Target
Thanks

Denim shorts, tshirts, tank tops, tshirt dresses/cotton dresses, rompers, sandals, sperrys, leather flip flops & lots of swimsuits (:

My family wants to go to a beach location in Maine for vacation. We’re all adults, so we just want a tranquil area with not too many other people around, especially not too many kids. Ideally it should be within walking distance of a town with restaurants, shopping etc. though, or at least within a 15 min drive. We’ll probably want to rent a beach cottage or something for 4-7 nights. Any general suggestions on what towns/areas to look at, or specific suggestions of beaches/cottages to stay at?

The nudist beaches are the best, and are frequented by a variety of families with lots of kids on weekends, but not as many kids during the week.

We are planning our very first trip to sea the Ocean, and there are many beaches along the East Coast to choose from. We would like to know which beaches you found safe & clean, and what hotels you have found that have a great view, (or which ones to stay away from.) We would also like easy access to the beach.

I have visited some beach sites, and there is so much info, it is overwhelming and confusing. Please help us narrow our options down, by sharing your story with us.
Thank You very much !!

Ocean City Maryland is awesome the beach is super clean there is a great boardwalk and a carnival/small amusement park, all of the hotel are on the beach(just walk across the boardwalk) it is basically an island and I’m guessing most of the hotels are about the same you should call the and ask for a room with an ocean view make sure the hotels address is on boardwalk those are the ones on the beach also check out Assateague island it a very short drive and very cool there is a more "rustic beach" and wild ponies and it just a beautiful place to visit and a day pass is not that expensive

I’m leavin to go to the beach today and we’re staying for 4 days and 3 nights. And were gonna be going to the beach and pool ALOT. Oh and I’m a 14 year old girl. Can anyone make a list for suggested things for me to bring? Like how many tops or what personal things? Thanks!

Okay, plan it like this:

What will you use each day?

An outfit each day. And plan TWO pairs of underwear for each day. Two bras for the trip.

Swimsuit. That’s the thing you’ll be in most, right? You might wanna bring an extra one, if you can, in case one breaks or anything!

Grungy t-shirt. To pull over after you get out of the water.

Bring a few pairs of flip-flops, but also bring a pair of sneakers. So, also bring a few pairs of socks.
You need shaving stuff, pads and tampons, hair stuff, anything you use on a daily basis.

Some beach towels.

And, SUNSCREEN! The spray- on kind, for the body, and the lotion-y kind, for your face! Don’t forget to do your ears and neck! Even spray your part in you want.

If you can get it, Zinka! is really fun too. (It’s colored zinc oxide)

A hat.

Beach bag!

And, a few plastic bags. Put your wet swimsuit in one after a swim, use one to store dirty laundry, etc etc.

Deodorant

A little first-aid kit, just band-aids and the like.

And anything else you need.

Even if you don’t *use* half the stuff, it’s good to be prepared!

Enjoy the beach life.

I am going to south Carolina tomorrow for about 10 days (: I am a female and 14 years old… I need a good and very detailed packing list…. EVERYTHING included!

- You needed there were Sunscreen, Sunglasses, Swim Suit, Beach Towels, Sandals, camera, makeup- kit, foods, money, clothes.

I’m recently divorced and needing to take a vacation to de-stress. I’ve never been to the beach before so that is where I want to go. I will be traveling solo so I want to go somewhere safe. Other than that I’m not picky as long as its sunny, warm and peaceful!

Have you ever been to Greece?
