Let's Go to the Beach

We love the Caribbean, but let's not forget Mexico, Portugal, and Greece. See some of our top suggestions for your sun and sand pleasure below.

This time of year, and into summer, we’re all about travels on and near the water – we love days spent reapplying SPF and not checking email. For some, that means toes in the sand and an ice-cold colorful drink – which makes our roundup of Caribbean beach bars required reading. You can also check out - An Ode to the Caribbean Beach Bar
