...there are numerous other seashores to visit that offer the same scenic beauty – the only difference is that the non-Gulf waters may be a bit cooler.Kailua Beach, Hawaii
- Ocracoke Island, North Carolina
The death place of legendary pirate Blackbeard contains more than three centuries of history and culture left behind by traders and sailors from all over the world. The village of Ocracoke – home to the 1823 Ocracoke Lighthouses and the century-old David Williams house – is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The breathtaking beach is protected by 20-foot high sand dunes, which cover miles of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
- Bahia Honda State Park, Florida
Widely considered home to Florida’s most beautiful beaches, Bahia Honda State Park possesses soft sand and crystal clear water. It’s a snorkeler’s paradise because of the deep waters near shore, and kayaking and fishing opportunities are aplenty. The island boasts the highest quantity of colorful subtropical flowers in the Keys, including bay cedar, tiger lily and sea lavender. Silver and thatch palms ensure the beaches are authentically tropical.
- Hamoa Beach, Hawaii
Towering sea cliffs surround this less populated section of Maui, where the currents are strong and the surf is dangerous. Swimmers are encouraged to test the waters in the summer and early fall when conditions are safest. Those who prefer to stay dry can enjoy a picnic on the shore while observing the lush greenery.

ReplyDeleteThere are beautiful beaches here too!
ReplyDeleteI love your beach choices! But I must say I like Lanikai Beach, which is in the Kailua area, but a bit more private.
ReplyDeleteI am a bit partial to the beaches of the mid Atlantic myself
ReplyDeleteemilyfukunaga: imagine how beautiful is that your beach. I would like to stay at least one time on such a beach.
ReplyDeleteHampton Roads: I like "alone standing" beaches for many reasons. Too big crowd damages my "zone of comodity", probably.
