The Best Beach Vacations in the U.S. and Abroad

We love active vacations - sightseeing, walking, learning new things about the places we visit - but sometimes you just need to relax on the beach with a good book.

The best beach vacations offer more than that, though. Water sports, from surfing to scuba diving, are a must-do on a great beach vacation.

If you're not that active but love getting out on the water, whale-watching cruises or sunset dinner cruises are another way to enjoy the ocean without getting wet.

Great beach vacations include Mexico, Hawaii, and the Caribbean, of course. But what about Fiji or Thailand? Or a quick getaway to one of the great beaches on the continental U.S.?

Sometimes the beaches don't lend themselves to comfortable sunbathing, such as the rocky north Pacific coast. But they are still great vacation destinations with water activities and wonderful seafood!

A weekend at a Midwestern lake is fun, too - and relatively inexpensive! Growing up, my family's cottage on a lake in the middle of Wisconsin was a cheap beach vacation, but it was wonderful nonetheless.

You don't have to go far to have find a beach and some water to splash around in.

Get together with your friends, mom or daughter, or your sisters, find a cottage by the lake or a condo in Hawaii - and have some fun!
