Vacation + beach = perfection

The best things come to those who beach. Find watersports like surfing, snorkeling, waterskiing, paddle boarding, kayaking—options are aplenty for enjoying the waves. Feel like taking it easy?

And they likely have enough on-site amenities that you’ll never have to venture far from shore.

  • Amenities: You came for the beach, but extra perks don’t hurt. Get straight to the waves and grab a free breakfast. Relax even more at a full-service spa. When it comes to a tailor-made getaway, finding the right amenities ups the experience to the power of perfect.
