Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Road Bay, Sandy Ground, Anguilla
Tagged: anguilla, beach thursday, road bay, sandy ground
There are few places in the world where I feel more at home while traveling than Road Bay and the community that fronts it, Sandy Ground, in Anguilla. From the views atop the bluffs surrounding it to its perfectly crescent-shaped beach to the numerous beach bar that dot its shores, Sandy Ground/Road Bay has always felt like coming home. The sunsets, the bobbing boats, the freight from ships being unloaded, music pouring from the bars...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Dunn’s River Falls, Ocho Rios, Jamaica
Tagged: beach thursday, jamaica
Of all the tourist destinations in Jamaica, Dunn’s River Falls might be one of the most popular. Located outside of Ocho Rios, pictures of tourists traversing the falls are ubiquitous online. Seemingly a requirement for anyone on a cruise ship, the falls’ majestic rocks and water make for unique and instantly Instagrammable moments. Most people who have never been to the falls might not realize how close the park is to a beach....
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – A Key West Sunset
Tagged: beach thursday, key west
If you’ve seen a Key West sunset, or a sunset anywhere in the Florida Keys, you’ll understand the overwhelming reaction to this week’s most liked “beach pic of the day” post on my Facebook page. They’re an escape, not just from what ails you but from the “busyness” of life in general. And while the Keys certainly aren’t the Caribbean, the moments of solitude wrapped around its daily sunsets offer a glimpse into island life, where...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Somewhere in the Maldives
Tagged: beach thursday, maldives
I don’t know where this beach is in Maldives (or “the Maldives” if you prefer). As with most pictures shared on sites such as Unsplash and Pixabay, exact geographical locations are rarely given. In this case, the photographer simply said it was in the Maldives and I don’t think anything else matters. Seriously, with that view, who cares? A long stretch of white sand beach with a seemingly endless line of palm trees acting as the...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Barbados
Tagged: barbados, beach thursday
When it came to picking their favorite “beach pic of the day” post this week, the followers of my Facebook page made this image of a beach in Barbados the runaway winner. It came close to having as many “likes” as all the other combined and if you think about it, it’s pretty easy to see why. If you’ve been to Barbados, you’ll know the beaches really are this pretty. Add some boats bobbing in...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Trunk Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands
Tagged: beach thursday, st. john, us virgin islands, usvi
When it comes to beaches, there are few that can top Trunk Bay, located on St. John in the US Virgin Islands (it even has its own beach bar!). Prior to Hurricane Irma, palm trees lined this beach like very few others I’ve been to, offering a barrier between the beach bums that took shelter there and the real world. The water, as it is elsewhere in the Caribbean, was marvelously blue and the sand as soft and white as you would expect...
