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? Nothing’s better than napping under an umbrella and taking in the sounds of the surf. Bring a kite, enjoy a round of spike ball, or get competitive over a volleyball match.
