Spring Break. Judging already? How about “Spring Break in Cancun?” Nearly everyone has his or her opinion. For some, it is a turn-off, for others a turn on, and whichever you believe, many people want to experience it at least once. Well, I went twice. Yes, surprised? College Spring Break Well, my first Cancun spring […]

What’SUP Sayulita – Paddleboarding in the Riviera Nayarit
by Craig Zabransky on March 13, 2014 in Beach, Films, Mexico Travel
The seaside town of Sayulita has been on my “must visit” list in Mexico for years. The surfer-yoga enclave intrigued me from the very first day I heard about it, a day well before I ever I fell in love with Mexico. An hour north of Puerto Vallarta along the pacific coast’s the small beach […]
The Beach Town of San Francisco ….. Mexico?
by Craig Zabransky on March 6, 2014 in Beach, Destination, Mexico Travel
San Francisco, Nayarit, Mexico. Yes San Francisco is a place worth visiting in Mexico too and the quaint beach village on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit left an impression on me. A few miles up the coast from the popular hippie beach town of Sayulita, visitors find the town of San Francisco also known locally as San […]
The Upper Florida Key’s Oasis of Anne’s Beach
by Craig Zabransky on February 20, 2014 in Beach
Driving down the famed Overseas Highway (US -1) towards Key West there’s a must stop beach, Anne’s Beach, located at mile marker (MM) 73. It is definitely worth the stop to stretch the legs or as I recommend to spend an afternoon. The Florida Keys are not famous for their beaches. No. A few exist […]
The Beaches in the Lake Region of Pennsylvania
by Craig Zabransky on February 13, 2014 in Beach
Okay, let’s play word association. Say the first word that comes to your mind when you hear (or read) the following word. Are you ready to play? The word: Lake. Lake So, what did you say? Mountains? Woods? Deer? Canoe? Did you say, “Beach?” Probably not. As I mentioned last Thursday, my definition of beach […]
Is Visiting Lakeshore Beaches in Autumn Really Visiting the Beach? – A Trip to Glimmerglass State Park
by Craig Zabransky on February 6, 2014 in Beach
Growing up, going to the beach basically meant heading to the ocean. Saltwater and waves. It also meant warm weather – summer. Lakes and rivers (freshwater) or even a waveless ocean beach (except for an idyllic beach like the Gili Islands or Half Moon Cay) were not beaches. Neither was a visit in the fall […]
Are There Beaches in Singapore? A Visit to Siloso Beach in Sentosa
by Craig Zabransky on January 30, 2014 in Beach
After a visit to Sentosa I would have bet the translation of the word into English was “sensation.” Singapore’s amusement resort, created for all ages, provides stimulation at every turn. Ironically it translates to “peace and harmony,” but I guess a certain tranquility exists in all places where the land meets the sea. The original […]
Costa Rica’s Best Beach? – The Virgin Beaches of the Osa Peninsula
by Craig Zabransky on January 23, 2014 in Beach
If Costa Rica and the Pura Vida way of life is on your travel list, make sure your visit includes time in the Osa Penninsula. On my first trip, to Costa Rica (my travel sabbatical) I didn’t get a chance to visit this remote spot teeming with wildlife, but on my most recent trip I […]
