The just do-it list for beach bunnies

24 days until I leave for my glorious cruise through the Southern Caribbean with Princess Cruise Line...and I'm revisiting my very special bucket list.

Beach Bucket ListBeach Bucket ListEveryone has a bucket list, and while Mount Everest might bring your cubicle buddy to his knees, GoGirlfriend is beach-powered. Say what you will, we're happy to indulge in beach yoga followed by tequila-doused shrimp and a massage by Pablo while others scale mountains.

 

 

Wanna see our beach bucket list? Warning, you may have to rewrite your list after seeing these...

St. Martin

Strip away your top, your bottoms, your cares. While the scenery on this beach can be stunning (pun intended), we want to revisit the island for the fresh lobster at the Yellow Beach Bar. It's on Pinel Island, a 10 min boat ride from the French side of the island. While the service can be slow, the turquoise waters and white sand should uncoil even the most uptight beach-goer. And If you dare, crack open your claw in the altogether. This is St. Martin, after all.

Antigua

There are enough beaches on this island to fulfill almost all our beach fantasies (except for the ones we dreamed up on St Martin). Half Moon Bay tops our list though. Getting there involves a lot of direction-asking - a plus - and once you arrive, it's all but deserted - another big plus. If your beach-bucket list involve you and your lover stretched out for hours on a glorious beach, move this one to the top of the list.

Brazil

While the rest of the world imagines sexy, Brazil lives it. More than 250 miles of sculpted coastline filled with hidden coves perfect for hiding away from the paparazzi. Cameras not trained on your back, 24/7? No worries. Even hermit crabs adore beaches here for simple, hedonistic pleasure of all that is Brazil. Be warned though that Brazil beaches are all about the eco-friendly and sunscreen is not permitted on most. Guess you'll just have to cover up with something else - like your partner maybe.

What's on your beach-bucket list? Any beaches on the list that you've already visited - but can't resist visiting again and again and again?

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Julia Rosien said "Great to meet you as well, Terri. And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Bonaire - Landsailing or Diving, Ann Phelan said "I love when folks visit our island and immerse themselves in the very cool diversions offered..thanks for sharing."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
