Today would have been Bob Marley’s 70th birthday and if there’s one artist that provides the soundtrack to life in the Caribbean, it’s Bob Marley. His music is ubiquitous and rightfully so. It’s the perfect backdrop to a day in the islands, able to wash away your cares as easily as the rays of the setting sun. Combine the two and you may just melt from all the relaxation. This video was shot during our 2010...
Sights and Sounds of an Anguilla Sunset

Watching the sunset over Road Bay in Sandy Ground, Anguilla is one of those moments in your life that remind you how lucky you are. It’s almost as if the beach around you is stuck on pause as the rest of the world keeps spinning on by.

Add to that its close proximity to Buccaneer Beach Bar, La Bamba...

It’s a must for me on vacation. No matter what our plans are, they have to take into account the sunset because we only get to experience so many of them and it would be...
St. Pete Beach Week: One Image That Captures What I Love About Beach Bars
Tagged: beach, beach bar, florida, photography, sunset, tourism, travel
I love beach bars (that’s why this blog exists) but my shortcomings as a writer, showcased on this blog many times including in this run on sentence, sometimes prohibit me from accurately expressing my adoration for them to my three readers. That’s when I turn to pictures and the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words rings especially true with this image. The photo, taken by John McNicholas, isn’t the best picture in the...
