We’ve all heard of the beauty of Honolulu and Cancun and while there is no doubt they are beautiful there fame has also made them fairly crowded and developed. Maybe you are craving something a bit more exotic or perhaps easier on your pocketbook? Here are some of the beast beach vacations you’ve never heard of.
Kerala, India
While most people think of Thailand’s Island when you say “South East Asian beaches,” India’s southern state of Kerala offers some of the most unique beachside experiences you can find. Kerala is home to a vast network of gorgeous canals snaking through acres and acres of lush tropical rainforests. The savvy visitor will book a barge through a reputable Kerala Tourism agency, these barges allow you to relax, sip a cold cocktail, and soak in the one-of-a-kind scenery. When you are ready to go swimming check out one of Kerala’s legendary beaches such as those in the sleepy fishing village of Marari or Bekal Beach, which is surrounded by a historic fort. So if you want to experience more than just some sand and sun, India’s Kerala state is one of the best beach vacations you’ve never heard of.
Valparaíso, Chile
With over 2,500 miles of coastline, Chile may have more beaches than any other place on earth and their biggest beach town of all is Valparaíso. The longtime home of South America’s most famous poet, Pablo Neruda; Valparaíso still draws thousands of aspiring writers and artists to its maze of brightly colored homes and blue-collar eateries. With more than twenty beaches within the city limits there are plenty of easily accessible places to sunbath and swim. Though very popular with Chilean tourists, a surprisingly low number of foreigners make it so far south for vacation so you will be encouraged to rub elbows and make new friends with locals. Given its world-class culture, Valparaíso is definitely one of the best beach vacations you’ve never heard of.
Morocco
While most people think of Greek or Italian islands when they think of a Mediterranean beach getaway, Morocco gives a very unique take on the traditional beach vacation. With the beaches of the north providing calmer seas and Spanish influenced culture, and beaches to west providing some of the world’s best surf spots. Morocco’s near perfect climate makes it an ideal destination no matter what beach you choose. There are very few places in the world you can go sand surfing and wave surfing in the same day but Morocco is one of them. So if you want to enjoy world-class blue green water and mouthwatering cuisine you can’t get elsewhere, consider Morocco as your next beach vacation.
