Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 I have to vote for just about any beach in the Caribbean over any US beach (although I've not been to Hawaii yet, so I reserve judgment on their beaches, which appear lovely.) Our plan is to retire to somewhere, ANYwhere, in the Caribbean. Better buy stock in a sunscreen company, huh?Deb, born to snorkel in tropical waters, but unfortunately living in a Winter Wonderland right now... wrote:>..."on the beach meant crossing a four lane"...The wrong side of the road is something to watch out for at many beaches.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Deb, I think you might be disappointed with the beaches in Hawaii. The beaches are beautiful, but they are more of a golden sand, as opposed to the beautiful white powderery sand that you find on the coral islands of the Caribbean, but still you would probably love it there, and the snorkeling is great.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 Thanks for the heads-up, Sandi! Thanks to you, I can no longer think of Hawaii w/o thinking "welcome your ass to the board!" hehehe Ah, who needs sand? Gimme a boat and a snorkel and warm water and I'm a happy gal! )Deb Deb, I think you might be disappointed with the beaches in Hawaii.
