Top 5 Beaches To Visit In 2021
We know that this is a rough time for everyone and wanted to shed some light on future places to visit! Some of the best beaches are halfway around the world while others are our neighbors. What makes a great beach completely depends on the traveler.
You may like crowded, empty, boardwalk/family friendly, water activities such as surfing and jet skis, or beaches with calmer waves. In this blog we will go over our top recommended beaches for travelers who enjoy swimming, families and beach loungers to checkout, safely next summer.
U.S.Virgin Islands
The Virgin Islands have some of the best beaches in the entire Caribbean. Traveling to the U.S.Virgin Islands appeals to every type of traveler; with three different islands to explore (St John, St Thomas & St Croix.) Each of the three islands has a beach that caters to all types of beach-goers.
St John’s island is perfect for solo travelers or couples who want privacy. We suggest checking out Solomon and Honeymoon Beach. Sandy Point National Wildlife Refuge in St. Croix is ideal for vacationers wanting to share the sand and interact with the exotic animals that share residence, such as sea turtles.
Going for a more touristy vibe? Head over to St Thomas! Both Coki and Magens Bay are perfect for photo ops and their specialty cocktail, hennycoladas.
Almafi Coast
Don’t let the size fool you! What the Almafi Coast beaches lack in length, they make up for in absolute tranquility.
Along the southern edge of Italy’s Sorrentine Peninsula, this destination is hot during summers because of their sheer cliffs, rugged shoreline and pastel color villages. Want to mix and mingle? Visit Mariana Grande in Positano!
This beach is where you find all the locals, tourists and even celebrities! Enjoy serene by spending the day in Atrani or be adventurous and explore Fiordo di Furore. Almafi is the perfect stop along the way when visiting southern Italy.
Phuket, Thailand
Looking for a culture shock? Get ready for the overnight flight and enjoy the beautiful island of Phuket!
With multiple natural wonders such as Patong, Karon and Kamala, each spot leads to striking views and deep blue waters. Head over to Banana Beach by taking a ferry and enjoy a jungle backdrop with crystal clear waves.
You also can experience the mystical Monkey Beach, located on the southern side of Tonsai Bay. Monkey Beach has soft white powdery sand fringed by emerald waters. If that didn’t convince you, yes, there are actual monkeys who inhabit the beach! Tourists can take an excursion to cruise by the fellas and snap photos.
Quick beach day with friends? Patong beach awaits! Patong is a beach town resort on the west coast of the island, filled with shops, bars and restaurants.
Maui, Hawaii
Maui has over 30 miles of beautiful beaches! Check out Makena Beach State Park for a full day of activities or a couple hours of fun.
This beach has 3 entrances and is composed of “Big Beach” and “Little Beach.” A fun fact is that Makena Beach is one of the most photographed beaches in all of Hawaii! The only downside to this beach is that it has rough waves that can be extremely dangerous.
How does jet black sand and electric blue waters sound? Honokalani Beach is every nature lover’s paradise! It is actually made up of tiny lava pebbles with plenty to do such as sea caves and seaside tubes. Seeking family friendly?
Park your car at Whalers Village Shopping Center and walk to Ka’anapali Beach! Enjoy shops, boating and taste the island’s specialty, coconut pancakes.
