A Little Beach Time in Yelapa, Mexico

by on January 31, 2013 in Beach, Mexico Travel

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

by on January 24, 2013 in Beach

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 […]

One Reason to Take A Caribbean Cruise – Half Moon Cay

One Reason to Take A Caribbean Cruise – Half Moon Cay

by on January 17, 2013 in Beach, Cruise Travel

Before I boarded the ms Zuiderdam last year, my last sail of similar magnitude was as a teenager with my parents. I realized […]

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 – La Jolla, California

by on January 23, 2011 in Sunset Sunday

After a November on the left coast with adventures both north and south of the border, I wanted to spend my last afternoon taking in the sunset. So, before heading to the airport and the red-eye back to New York I stopped in La Jolla on the California coast. I set up a late lunch […]

Salkehatchie and the Beaches on the Savannah River

by 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 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.
