The dream getaway for many people is having a vacation on a white sand beach looking out on warm turquoise waters. Vacations are planned where the waters are bathtub-warm, there are swaying palms, and you can kick back and really relax. Breathtaking beaches are found in every continent in the world. A few of them are highlighted here. Hawaii boasts some of the most romantic sun- drenched beaches year round in the United States. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, then the island of Kauai is the place for you. It has balmy temperatures no matter when you head there. Kauai is the least developed of any of the Hawaiian Islands and has very lush, green surroundings. You can find sections of pristine white sandy beaches that you can enjoy all to yourself. When in Kauai be sure to visit Poipu Beach. Its variety of water sports is perfect for the entire family. Since the waters are crystal clear and there are many species of beautifully colored tropical fish, Snorkelling is especially popular here. If you are heading to Florida, don't miss a trip to the famous South Beach. This is not the place for a family vacation (it's a topless beach), it's a playground for adults. The beach itself is actually man made and stretches for miles. The water is tropical and is very clean. However, the draw to South Beach has more to do with the funky art deco culture that surrounds the beautiful scenery. Be sure to visit some of the many martini bars and live music venues that line the waterfront for a shot of Latin culture. Further south is the Ipanema Beach in Brazil. Ipanema Beach located in festive Rio de Janeiro, was made famous by a song in the 60s bearing its name. Ipanema Beach is the place for you if you want to be surrounded by scantily clad beautiful people (both men and women). A visit to the surrounding area and this beach is a wild ride worth taking. Miles of white sand beaches equals many days worth of sun, fun, and excellent people watching. We now head back north to Canada. While many people don't think of Canada as having beautiful beaches, Long Beach in Tofino British Columbia will prove them wrong. While the waters are not turquoise, Long beach is simply breathtaking. Perfect for surfing and taking long walks down the shore. There are plenty of tidal pools full of interesting sea life such as starfish. Tofino itself is a quaint little fishing town full of eccentric locals. Finally, we come to the French Riviera of St. Tropez. This is now one of the most popular and hot destinations in Europe. Once it was the hideaway for movie stars. St. Tropez is close to Cannes and filled with those who appreciate the finer things in life and don't hesitate to flaunt it. The bright blue waters make the beach stunning, if you're not in the mood for the beach then there is still plenty to do. While visiting this exciting local, people watching at one of the beachfront cafes are a must. People have always loved the scenic beauty of beaches and there are no shortages of destinations. Just a few on the worldwide list are Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica, Bali, and Australia. You can be one of the many who visit exotic beaches every year.
