    May 29, 2026 / No Comments

    If you’re looking for an uncrowded escape, you need to know about these hidden beaches in Mexico. Everyone tends to gravitate towards Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and to Cabos, but I’m telling you, Mexico has so much more to offer. If you’re looking to get off the beaten path, head to one of these Mexico beach destinations. Hidden Beaches in Mexico 1. Zipolite Beach Zipolite Beach, or Playa Zipolite is not only my favorite of the hidden beaches in Mexico, it’s also my favorite place to visit in Mexico.

    The Best Beaches In St. Petersburg and Clearwater, FL

    November 5, 2021 / 1 Comment

    I moved to Charleston over a year ago from Oregon, and one reason was to be in warmer weather and to be closer to the beach. Well, this has led to many trips to Florida, since it’s not that far away. And, that led to me discovering the beaches in St. Petersburg and Clearwater. I was astounded. I’ve mostly visited the eastern coast of Florida, but discovering the Gulf coast area has made me decide to move there next year. Here are the best beaches I’ve discovered in the area.

    Best Beaches in St Maarten/St Martin

    January 1, 2021 / 3 Comments

    There are over 37 beaches on the island of St Maarten/St Martin, and while I didn’t make it to all of them on my trip, the ones I did go to were stunning. The beaches in St Maarten/St Martin are some of the bluest and clearest you will ever see. I will say, while I did enjoy the beaches of St Martin, it wasn’t my favorite place to visit. The water may not be as blue, but I still prefer the untamed beach of Zipolite on the Oaxacan coast in Mexico where you can see the sun rise and set on the same beach. I also prefer waves that I…

    The Finest Beaches In La Paz, Mexico

    August 6, 2018 / 5 Comments

    La Paz, Mexico, the capital of Baja, California, has some of the most magnificent beaches in Mexico. If crystal clear, gently blue waters and white, powdery sand are what you are looking for, then La Paz is where you want to go. I will mention that the best beaches are located about a 45-minute drive out of La Paz, so La Paz isn’t the type of beach destination like Zipolite is where you can stay in a cabana right on the beach. You do have to rent a car to get to these beaches, as the bus doesn’t go to the most beautiful ones, and while you can take an…

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
