Tagged: anguilla, bbbaxa19, bbbsxm19, beach bar, caribbean, st. maarten, st. martin, travel
Vacation choices can be difficult to make, at least in my family’s case. First, it’s expensive, especially when you add in two little tax deductibles that now have to have their own seat. Second, because it’s expensive, you don’t want to get the choice wrong. Then there’s the fact that there are so many beautiful beaches to visit in the Caribbean – how do you choose? It’s a nearly impossible proposition but one that we are lucky to be...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Getting Down and Dirty With the Green in Antigua
Tagged: antigua, beach thursday
Who said branches can’t be picturesque? This image, taken from a beach in Antigua, portrays a branch/twig propped up among some of the most glorious sand you’ll find anywhere. With the blues that helped make Antigua famous functioning as a picturesque backdrop, it might be all the proof we need that one man’s trash (in this case, Mother Nature) is another’s treasure. If I recall correctly, the bush that this leaf comes from is...
Vote for the Best Caribbean Beach Bars
Tagged: beach bar, best of list, caribbean
“The best Caribbean beach bars” – start any conversation or article with that statement and you had better be prepared for a lengthy discussion.

Others will simply tell you which beach bars are the best without offering an explanation as to why other beach bars aren’t. In any case, it’s...

It looks like the reopening of The Beach Bar, located on Cruz Bay in St. John, isn’t just big news for beach bar bums but for the island well. It’s big enough news, at least, to prompt News of St. John to post an article on a Friday evening (prime happy hour time) announcing that the Beach Bar had scheduled its reopening date. Granted, I would figure out a way to jolt myself out of a deep slumber if I was somehow informed mid-sleep...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – St. Barths
Tagged: beach thursday, st. barts
Just over two months ago, I posted an image of a view from a beach in St. Barts. Back then, I wasn’t clear on whether or not to call it St. Bart’s, St. Barts, St. Barths, St. Bartholemew, St. Barthelmie or whatever name it goes by. I think I ended up just settling on St. B and nine weeks later, that viewpoint hasn’t changed. This week’s vote for the most liked beach pic was a close one with a surprising contender popping up from...
