Lunch at Pizotita Beach concludes a Vallarta Adventure

by on March 17, 2011 in Beach, Culture Thru Cuisine, Mexico Travel

Mexico has amazing stretches of sand.  And lunch on the beach, well that is truly part of the culture (through cuisine) in Mexico too. During the Beach Thursday series this winter, I highlighted a few […]

Just up from the golden sand beaches of Mazatlán’s zona dorada (golden zone)  beach goers can sit down and enjoy the food and cheerful ambiance of Alagua.

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 […]
