Do you want to camp on a beach in Hawaii but don’t feel like worrying about camping gear? The Beach Village at Molokai Ranch offers an upscale version of camping with all the modern conveniences. Guests stay in canvas tentalows on wooden platforms featuring hot showers and electricity provided by solar energy.

Things to Do
The Beach Village is located on a secluded spot, about 30 minutes by car from the Lodge at Molokai Ranch. Beach vacation activities include swimming, stargazing and tidal pool exploration. Molokai Ranch offers a range of vacation activities, including biking, kayaking, sailing, surfing, paintball games and archery. You can sign up at the activities center near the main lodge.

The Beach
The beach is part sand part rocks which means that you will have to be careful getting into the water. There are tidal pools where you can spot tropical fish, crabs and other sea life during a low tide.

Where to Eat
An open-air restaurant next to the beach serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can also drive up to the main lodge and dine with a view of the valley and the ocean at the Molokai Lodge.
Getting There
From the Lodge at Molokai Ranch, take the road paved with crushed shells to the beach. The drive takes about 30 minutes. You’ll need to sign a waiver and pick up a remote from the main lodge to open a gate along the way. If you prefer, there is a shuttle that takes guests from the lodge to the beach, but you’ll have to depend on the schedule

Baby Beach Aruba

WorldBeach — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 03:36:51 +0000

Baby Beach located on the southern of Aruba. It is a popular spot for visitors who would like to escape the crowds of Palm Beach. It is a lovely, sandy beach with shallow waters all the way out to the break. It is a 30 minute car ride from the high-rise resort area and can be reached by bus if you are willing to walk the last couple of miles. As its name implies, it is a fun place for young children and non-swimmers to wade in one to two feet of water for at least 50 yards out from the beach.

Bright tropical fish swim through the clear blue water, so snorkelers will find plenty to observe. If you get tired of sitting on the beach, wander up to the hotels – most of them have ocean-side gardens and their own watertsports centers that are open to the public.

Expect snorkeling gear to rent for US $15 per day, and snorkeling trips to cost US $25-35. Crowded with snorkelers at the passes where the best views are. Also strong current and surf in the passes when we were there in December.

Visit and tour the Aloe factory or view the beautiful landscape or go golfing, enjoy the island sun tanning, sunbathing or scuba diving & snorkeling in the warm ocean waters.

Romantic Vacation at Bora Bora Beach, French Polynesia

WorldBeach — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:33:19 +0000

Bora Bora, also called island of romance belongs to the group of islands in the southern Pacific Ocean. Its main island has an area of 38 square kilometers. Bora Bora earned its reputation as the island of romance because of the sheer magic in the atmosphere about the island. The romance in the atmosphere is attributed to two things.

First of these is the dramatic scenery provided by the twin peaks of Pahia and Otemanu as they sit on their majestic thrones in the middle of the lagoon, ruling over their island court. The other is the classic combination of pure white sand of the beaches and the crystal-clear blue waters of the lagoon. The languid magic of Bora Bora makes it a perfect destination for a romantic interlude with a loved one.

Bora bora is an island resort, swimming is the first thing that comes to mind. The cool waters of the lagoon surrounding Bora Bora are perfect for swimming. The rich marine life that is visible through the crystal clearness of the lagoon makes Bora Bora perfect for diving and snorkeling.

Many species of shark and rays can been seen. Two dive operators handle everything: Bora Bora Dive Center and Top Dive. Both offer shark feeding excursions. Snorkeling is a favorite pastime. The color of the fish is bright. We’ve found that tropical fish from the Pacific are more brightly colored than those of the Caribbean or elsewhere. If and when you go, take an underwater camera (you can buy a disposable one here), and stay close to the rocks. The best formations are near rock. You’ll see fish in the sandy area, but not much else. One thing you will most likely see are turtles. They are prominent in this area and are not afraid of humans If you are into water sports, jet skiing, parasailing and windsurfing are allowed on the lagoon. The dramatic land- and seascapes make the lagoon perfect for a little sailing into the sunset.
