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 […]

A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico
South of Puerto Vallarta and only accessible by boat, Yelapa can be a little off the main tourist trail. Yet, the beach town popular as a boating excursion, does fill up midday with visitors. Most spend time at the beachfront talapas enjoying an afternoon lunch and some refreshing cocktails or cervezas. I know I joined them.
Punta Cana – An All-Inclusive Beach Town in the Dominican
The all-inclusive. Certain tourist destinations are built on the premise and Punta Cana, Dominican Republic is one of these resort “paradises.” And whether you like them or don’t like them, (they do provide value for certain travelers) in the freezing temperatures of winter I am guessing you can be easily convinced to trade places with […]

For those who don’t know the Florida Keys, they might picture idyllic beaches for leisure, but actually the Florida Keys are much more popular for boating, fishing, sailing, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba, and even jet-skiing on the water. It doesn’t offer too many beaches. But even with this dearth of beaches, visitors can find a few […]
Sunset Sunday – Sunset on Eagle Beach in Aruba
We docked in Oranjestad at 1pm. The itinerary allowed for ten hours ashore with a planned 11pm departure. Aruba marked the only day on the ten day adventure at sea with the Holland America ms Zuiderdam I’d be on land to watch a sunset. Friends told me the island of Aruba offered plenty of wonderful […]
