Punta Mita
Often referred to as “Mexico’s Malibu,” Punta Mita is a beautiful coastal retreat situated between Puerto Vallarta and Sayulita along Mexico’s Pacific coast. The area features stretches of golden sand and inviting waters that are well suited to travelers who want to try surfing or take a surfing lesson.
If riding the waves is not for you, there is no need to miss out on the experience. You can simply relax beneath a traditional palapa while enjoying views across the Pacific Ocean. The charming local community is also home to several upscale resorts, many of which offer exclusive beach facilities and amenities for guests throughout their stay.
Playa Calzon de Pobre
Costa Rica’s Guanacaste region is famous for its beautiful collection of unspoiled beaches, many of which attract both residents and international visitors. Despite the popularity of the area, several secluded coves remain tucked away from the busiest tourist spots, offering a much more peaceful setting for a day beside the ocean.
Playa Calzon de Pobre is one such hidden beach near Carrillo. Visitors can find a designated parking area before following a short trail that leads toward this secluded coastal spot. The beach is known for exceptionally clear water and relatively gentle conditions that are suitable for swimmers with different experience levels. Because there are no hotels or restaurants immediately around the beach, visitors should remember to bring enough drinking water and snacks for the day.
Playa Flamenco
You can enjoy this spectacular tropical destination without needing to leave the United States territory. Located about 17 miles from Puerto Rico’s main island, Playa Flamenco sits on the smaller island of Culebra and can be reached by taking a ferry from San Juan, with the trip lasting approximately 45 minutes.
This postcard-like beach has repeatedly earned recognition as one of the world’s most beautiful coastal destinations, and it is easy to understand why. Its brilliant white sand and turquoise sea create an unforgettable setting. The relatively tranquil waters are suitable for swimming, snorkeling, taking in the scenery, or simply lying back on the beach and enjoying the feeling of sand beneath your feet.
Mambo Beach
Known for its exceptionally clear water and outstanding diving opportunities, Curaçao also offers numerous picturesque coastal locations that are ideal for a relaxing day by the sea. Along the coastline near Willemstad, Mambo Beach provides a particularly attractive combination of scenery and calm water.
The sandy shoreline is sheltered by a rocky barrier that helps protect the beach from some of the stronger waves that can affect other parts of the island. Because the water is generally gentle and the currents are softer, the beach is suitable for families with children as well as visitors who want to swim. With beautiful scenery and inviting water, Mambo Beach provides all the ingredients for a peaceful tropical escape.
Punalu’u Beach
Although traditional white-sand beaches have their own unmistakable beauty, Hawaii’s volcanic black-sand shores offer an entirely different visual experience. Located on the southern end of Hawaii Island, Punalu’u Beach is an excellent destination for travelers looking for something more unusual and adventurous.
Visitors can walk across the distinctive volcanic sand and examine the surrounding lava rocks, but swimming requires extra care because the ocean currents can be quite powerful. One of the beach’s greatest attractions is the striking contrast between the dark shoreline, brilliant Pacific waters, and lush green vegetation surrounding the coast.
Sea turtles are another highlight of Punalu’u Beach. The area is well known as a place where visitors may see these fascinating creatures resting and warming themselves in the sun, making the beach experience even more memorable.
Isla Blanca
Just a short distance from the busy resort city of Cancun lies Isla Blanca, a much quieter stretch of untouched coastline. This secluded beach provides an opportunity to leave the crowds behind and enjoy a more peaceful piece of tropical paradise.
The beach is bordered by mangrove vegetation, creating a natural environment that feels far removed from the activity of Cancun. Its calm blue waters are well suited to swimming, while the peaceful surroundings make it an appealing place to spend the day sunbathing, resting, and enjoying the coastal scenery. For travelers hoping to experience a quieter side of the Cancun area, Isla Blanca offers a refreshing escape.

The perfect boat
Selecting a boat for ocean cruising is a major decision that deserves careful consideration. I have explored this subject during numerous rallies and spoken with hundreds of skippers about their experiences. Almost every sailor has a different opinion about which boat is ideal and the reasons behind that choice, yet surprisingly few people question just how important it is to select the right vessel from the beginning.
