Does Costa Rica or Mexico have the most beautiful beaches and nature? F25, wanting to do a solo trip of about 14-17 nights to somewhere tropical with both nature/wildlife and nice beaches.

Italian Summer Trip with friends in August: low budget and many beaches Hello everyone, I am starting to plan my vacation with my group of friends, we are all Italian based in Milan. There would be 4 of us and we have always opted for destinations that don’t make us spend too much.

Seaweed a big issue for Caribbean beaches in April/May My wife and I are planning to visit a Carribean All-Inclusive in April/May (Riviera Maya or Dominican). We aren’t really All-inclusive people (our first time) but thought it would be a relaxing time. Both of us love being in the water/spending time on the beach (much more so than in the hotel pool). I noticed people mentioning seaweed washes up …

African beaches without hawkers? I’d like to go to a southern or East African coast with my child. Nothing luxurious.

I’ve read about this on the various islands and coasts- Zanzibar, Pemba, Tofo, etc. An…

To those who have visited the Caribbean: which islands ACTUALLY have the best beaches, snorkeling, and wildlife? Help! Californian here – my wife and our son (~10) are hoping to get to the Caribbean in 2025 or early 2026. The Caribbean is a little farther for us than Hawaii and requires connecting flights in most instances, and it’s REALLY hard figuring out how the islands differ from one another, or which one is best for snorkeling and beach activities, b…

Has history + beaches like Zanzibar, direct flight from Nairobi – but less touristy? I’m going to be in Kenya and wanted to visit somewhere on the coast + see local history.

I was thinking of Mombasa/Dioni/Lamu submitted by /u/Wide-Pop6050

Good beaches to visit in Cebu Just landed at Mactan-Cebu and staying near the airport. Looked pretty grungy on the way to the condo I’m staying at so might venture out to one of the beach areas and was hoping for some suggestions. Got no real onward plans after Cebu and still got 3 weeks left on the visa so could be a bit further out of the city as long as it is not too hard…

Any Caribbean island like PR but with nicer beaches? I am looking for a place in the Caribbean to visit that would have a beachfront resort to a calm, clear beach but also a nice town with nightlife, bars etc. San Juan Puerto Rico has been great for this in the past but my only caveat is the beaches are not calm or as nice as say Bavaro in DR. Not trying to do an all inclusive which is why we ru…

8 day land cruise in Galapagos, or 8 days at “beaches and dreams” with tours in Belize? My wife, two kids (12&14), and I are planning an eco adventure type vacation. Initially we had looked at Costa Rica, but got distracted by the idea of going to the Galapagos islands on a land based tour with G Adventures. The price started getting somewhat scary, so we then considered an 8 day getaway to Belize instead. We would stay at Beaches …

Mexico in Early August- Beaches My friend and I ( women in our late 20s/early 30s) are travelling to Mexico in July and August for a bit over a month and are trying to figure out which beach area would be best in terms of weather. We come from a hot climate (trying to escape winter at the moment), so temperatures in the 30s don’t bother us, and we are used to humidity. We were…
