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 […]
One Reason to Take A Caribbean Cruise – Half Moon Cay
Do you need a reason to take a cruise? Some travelers love the cruise vacation, others don’t. I wondered where I’d stand after nearly a twenty year absence from the “cruise” holiday. Before I boarded the ms Zuiderdam last year, my last sail of similar magnitude was as a teenager with my parents. I realized […]
A Personal Island Tour takes me to Daaibooi Beach, Curacao
The ms Zuiderdam docked in Willemstad, Curacao and I disembarked the cruise ship with no official excursion plans. I planned to meet my friend. Ichieron and I worked together in Mexico City and now I was visiting his native island. He told me he’d be waiting by the ship; he was. After a morning beer […]
A Lovely Beach in Key Largo, Florida Keys
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
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
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
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. […]
