beach vacations
If you could take a beach vacation to anywhere, where would you go? We are not normally beach people, but DH really wants to go on a relaxing vacation, maybe at the end of the summer. TIA!

"The House We Built."
A journey of building the dream.
We've been to LOTS of beaches.
Do you have a budget? In the US or outside?
For $3-5k you can go to the Sandals resorts for about 5 nights. The Royal Bahamian is amazing and i'd go back in no time. We're thinking of going again this summer but we can't decide between the beach or London...I know crazy difference there.
For closer to $10k there's always Hawaii, but it can get more than that quick.
I really like Hilton Head, NC. I also like California beaches. If you like to stay in the country.
Stay away from Mexico...I have some horror stories of near resorts lately from natives.
Ditto the rec for Hilton Head, SC. I also love the Outer Banks in NC.
We went to Maui and loved it. With all the activities we planned, we didn't get much beach time in though.
Ha, yes SC not NC for Hilton Head

A good friend of mine goes to Seaside, in Florida, every summer and loves it. Her family rents a house, rides everywhere on rented bikes, and just relaxes for a week.

We honeymooned on Grand Cayman and it was awesome! We stayed on the East end of the island so there weren't many people. It was so relaxing.
I'm also watching this thread. We want to do the same thing this summer so now that I don't want to go to Mexico I'm looking for recs too.
Ooohh! One of my former co-workers went to Turks and Caicos a couple of years ago and said it was one of her favorite vacations. They stayed at one of the child-free all-inclusive resorts (don't remember which, she and her husband were there for his work and left their kids at home).

this has been on my to-do list for years! my parents swear by club med and apparently the one at T&C is one of the best. that was a few years ago though...I was supposed to go with a girlfriend of mine and she bailed right before we were going to book it. sniff;(
