Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Sardinia
Tagged: beach thursday, italy, sardinia
If you asked most people you know to tell you where Sardinia was, the vast majority of them would have no idea. They might recognize images of the colorful buildings that dot its landscape but put a map in front of them and they’d be bewildered as a deer in headlights. For the uninitiated, it’s in the Mediterranean. In fact, it’s the second largest island in the sea. Part of Italy, Sardinia may not be well known to...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Dunedin, Florida
Tagged: beach thursday, dunedin, florida
There’s just something about a Florida sunset over that water that makes it hard to resist. This week’s image, taken in Dunedin, is further proof of that. The palm trees form the perfect silhouette, boaters meander through the calm water and as the sun dips below the horizon for another day, people take time out of their busy lives to appreciate the moment. That’s one of the most significant wonders of a sunset...

Tagged: aruba, beach thursday
One of my favorite resorts I’ve stayed at is the Tamarijn Aruba.

Chief among those is its beaches. Known the world over for its pretty in pink sand and clear blue water...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Trinidad
Tagged: beach thursday, trinidad, trinidad and tobago
With 1.3 million people, you’d think the dual island nation of Trinidad and Tobago would be featured on this blog more often. However, that amount of people on such a small area of land results in beaches often taking a back seat to development. The two islands are vastly different – Trinidad with the industry and Tobago with the more laidback undeveloped surroundings. I was therefore surprised when I came across this picture...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Federated States of Micronesia
Tagged: beach thursday, federated states of micronesia
For those of you looking for an island to check out from the world, you probably won’t find many prettier ones on a smaller speck of land than our featured picture this week. Located in Chuuk Lagoon near the island of Weno in the Federated States of Micronesia, the island appears to have more palm trees than people. A few ramshackle structures occupy a small footprint beneath the towering palms but beyond that, the unknown island...
