THE TOP 5 BEACHES TO PUT ON YOUR LIST
As you know I like to bring information about travel from all avenues. Our friends at
Conde' Nast have more than just the top 5 and if you want to learn more check out Conde' Nast. Well here goes:
#5: BORACAY, PHILIPPINES.
It's about 196 miles south of Manila in the Western Visayas region. It's being described as Asia's next best thing for a beach vacation. White sandy beach that stretches for about 2.5 miles. Certain spots are a little crowded but it is a great place to snorkel.
#4: SIPADAN, MALAYSIA.
Located in the Celebes Sea off the coast of Sabah. It is Malaysia's eastern most state on the island of Borneo...Jacques Cousteau himself described it as an "Untouched Piece of Art". If you are into snorkeling you will see beautiful coral formations and sea turtles and those Bumphead Parrotfish...and so much more
#3: PALAWAN, PHILIPPINES.
Palawan is very impressive....Daytrips by boat from Puerto Princesa to Luli island, Starfish Island Panden Island and Cowrie Island...enjoy Star Fish, Sea Snails, Gastropod Mollusca call Cowrie.
#2: BAZARUTO, ACRCHIPELAGO MOZAMBIQUE
Located 22 miles off the east coast of Africa...There are six islands and the entire area was placed on the National Park in 1971...snorkeling and diving opportunites.
#1: THE MALDIVES
With 26 Atolls and over 1000 islands in the Indian Ocean....it tops the list for best snorkeling. Its unique, small...but a great underwater show
Now some of these locations may be difficult to get to and lodging may be a little harder. So I recommend that if you are interested in any of these beaches are on your bucket list....take the time to work with your travel agent and plan it well.
Also on the list of best beach locations from Conde Nast you can 't say beach without thinking of Hawaii...they have 4 of the top 25 ...like... The Big Island, Kauai, Oahu and Maui.
CARNIVAL CRUISE LINE
What can I say about Carnival....EVERYTHING....It is the fun ship. Carnival Cruise Destinations...Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexico...and...Bermuda, Cuba, Alaska or what about Canada-New England, Hawaii, Panama Canal...they even go transpacific and Australia.
They have 25 ships and two more coming in 2019. When you think of Carnival Cruise think of great times and great places to go. They have exciting things to do on board and excursions when your reach the ports of call. There is never a dull moment when you cruise with Carnival. I have been on several of there cruises and I have always had a wonderful time. And you better get your groove on when dining...because the dining hall comes alive in the middle of your meal....I must be dating myself...Get your Groove on? Anyway...the wait staff actual does a little show with music and dancing...and this just adds to the fun and the food is of cou
rse YUMMY!
THEME PARK TIDBIT
With Disney gearing up for even more additions and attractions...we have to mention UNIVERSAL...Universal not to be left behind with all that is moving and shaking in Central Florida...they just recently purchased a large parcel of land in the Orlando area and Rumors are flying and going wild that UNIVERSAL is hinting about a 4th Theme Park for them...We will have to wait and see and as I get more info I will try and bring it to you.
DESTINATION OF THE WEEK
All this beach talk and summer coming to an end I think we need to get in some more Beach. How about KEY WEST...you can get your Sand in between your toes experience in the Keys. This Dreamy City is where creativity comes to life, where the Caribbean Sea comes knocking on your door. It's a little bit of paradise right in Florida. My Concierge of Podcast Travel recommends that you grab one of the rental bikes and bike around Key West at your own pace. Enjoy the sites and sounds and food...
