Cozumel, Mexico
Famous all over the world for its coral reefs, there are plenty of water sports such as diving, deep-sea fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and more. Cozumel's mostly undeveloped territory at the center of the island is covered by jungle and swampy lagoons, which are home to tiny mammals and endemic birds that have never left the island. Noteworthy is the Chankanaab National Park, a Cozumel icon, and the Punta Sur Ecological Reserve. This huge protected area at the southern tip of the island includes Punta Celarain and its historical lighthouse, as well as the Colombia Lagoon, a shelter for many of the island's endemic species, as well as other endangered forms of life, such as marine turtles and their nesting areas.
Riviera Maya, Mexico
Stretching from Punta Brava just south of Cancun International Airport to Punta Allen just south of Tulum, exists one of the most fascinating destination spots in the world. Tropical beaches, ancient ruins, abundant marine and wildlife abound. The Great Mayan Reef is the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere.
Playa Del Carmen, Mexico
Playa, as the locals call it, is a beach-side city located on the coast of the Caribbean Sea. You generally fly into Cancun airport then transfer to Playa, which is an hour's drive.
Negril, Jamaica
Negril is pretty primitive when compared to uptown Jamaica. You'll need to go the other way, east of Montego Bay, to find championship golf courses, for instance, or horse-back riding. For horse-racing, cricket test matches, football, or car races, you'll need to bite the bullet and go to Kingston. But Negril is just fine for two weeks of mucking about on the beach, with drinks at noon, watching the sunsets, reading, and watching stuff on the barbeque. Especially if it's snowing back home!
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil
Planted between lush, forest-covered mountains and breathtaking beaches, the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvelous City) has many charms, most notably the Cariocas , its exuberant residents.
Aruba
From the vantage point of the beach, visitors delight in prime views of the expanse of clear, turquoise waters stretching out and deepening to an azure blue at the horizon. The soothing sounds of the water's ebb and flow, the brilliance of an ever-present sun and the caress of a soft wind slowly lulls sunbathers while swimmers relish the refreshing splash of the waves. Aruba's beaches, considered among the best in the world, are marked by white sands and cyrstal clear waters.
Cancun, Mexico

Ixtapa, Mexico
The Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo and Troncones area is blessed with a number of fabulous beaches of varying characteristics. Within Zihuatanejo Bay and around Isla Ixtapa are general calm-watered stretches of sand and coral ideal for the regular swimmer, snorkeler and water sports enthusiast. The beaches of Ixtapa, Troncones, Playas Larga and Blanca are somewhat wilder and unprotected, often with a heavy surf in which the swimmer should exercise greater caution.
Mazatlan, Mexico
While there's plenty of elbowroom, Mazatlán's sunny beaches clamor with activity. Strolling vendors display their hand-made crafts, parasails float upward, and sunbathers of all ages frolic in the blue Pacific.
Bermuda
Bermuda has some magnificent large and small beaches. Some great ones are public, meaning that anyone can enjoy them. But some are private, not for general public, only to their guests - re-assuring to those who stay at properties with private beaches. Beach sand is not volcanic but from finely pulverized remains of calcium carbonate shells and skeletons of invertebrates such as corals, clams, forams and other shells. Beaches begin with tiny single-celled animals, Foraminifera, in particular, homotrema rubrum - or forams - dark red skeletal animals that grow profusely on the underside of Bermuda's coral reefs. When the red forms die, the skeletons plummet to the ocean floor. Wave action erodes the forams. They become mixed with other debris on the seabed such as the white shells of clams, snails and sea urchins.
Maui, Hawaii
Ringed by 120 miles of coastline, Maui boasts over 30 miles of beaches. Many are easily accessible beach parks with lifeguards, picnic facilities and restrooms. Others are undeveloped, pristine, "secret spots" off the beaten path.
