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 Craig Zabransky 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
by Craig Zabransky 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 […]
Salkehatchie and the Beaches on the Savannah River
by Craig Zabransky on January 13, 2011 in Beach, Destination
If I played the word association game with “beach,” my first thoughts might be either “surf” or “ocean.” I’d rarely think “lake,” and might never think “river.” Yet during a visit to the Salkehatchie region of South Carolina I enjoyed some brief, but memorable beach moments along the Savannah River. Ninety minutes north of the city […]
Oh “MamMitas” the Beach Club of Playa
by Craig Zabransky 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
by Craig Zabransky 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 […]
The Gorgeous Gili Islands of Lombok
by Craig Zabransky on December 23, 2010 in Beach, Destination
Paradise. The image often includes a pristine beach, soft white sand, and a brilliant blue ocean backdrop. Make it a remote island only accessible by boat and not overrun by tourists or tourism and you create the perfect image. Yes, it’s paradise. Bali ignites the imagination of such a place, but the lesser known Gili […]
The Perfect Place to Daydream, Riviera Maya.
by stayadventurous on November 19, 2010 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel
Often times, when in Mexico conversation commences about other Mexican destinations. Comparisons – yes, but also (and mostly) about how we all appreciate the country, the culture and the cuisine. I found myself talking about the Riviera Maya yesterday, and as much as I enjoy the adventure of exploring the cenotes, discovering my senses, eating […]
