One of the benefits of social media is being able to obtain up-to-the-minute status reports on some of your favorite destinations. It took on an even more important role for me the day Irma hit the Caribbean. Since that day, I’ve come to depend on it for daily updates on the places we fell in love with that were impacted by the hurricane. That’s why it’s nice to find posts such as the below one from @dejaviewstjohn (they are a must follow if you’re on Instagram) of Cinnamon Beach on St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands. The beach seems to have fully recovered and the water, of course, looks as amazing as ever. Looks like it might be time for a return visit! If you’d like your images to be featured on the blog, make sure you’re following @beachbarbums, use the #beachbarbums tag and/or tag us in your pics. If you have a travel blog or personal website, I also try and post links to those whenever possible. I occasionally give away free stuff to some of my favorites so that’s pretty cool, I guess. Plus, the blog gets a BUNCH of views per day and the article is shared to all of my social media sites – you’ll never find a more dedicated group of beach bar lovers anywhere! If you’d like me to write an article featuring just your photos, send me an email at info at beach bar bums dot com and we’ll talk it over. Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram! It’s the most fun you’ll have staring at your phone. Cheers!

We got the best conch salad at this stand on Stocking Island (just down from Chat n’ Chill’s main bar + restaurant). Conch straight from the ocean + tomato + fresh mango and pineapple + lime. I think I could survive juuuuust fine here! 🇧🇸 #exumabahamas #chatnchill #stockingisland #islandhopping #itsbetterinthebahamas #flyawaybahamas #lovelulus #TWExBahamas A post shared by Shannon •The Wanderlust Effect (@lavidashannon) on Jul 2, 2019 at 10:16am PDT View this post on Instagram What kind of Caribbean beach bum are...
