Taking off Travel blog

Today it’s time for the third and last part of our mini photo series on beaches. After looking at beaches in the US and European beaches, it’s time to go global and see which are the world’s best beaches. This is a tough one as it’s pretty subjective, but there are some beaches that make it onto every best beach list there is, so those are the ones we’ll list here today.

Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos

I’m quite a connoisseur of Caribbean beaches and I have to say that this beach looks amazing! It’s got miles of powdery white sand alongside the clear blue Caribbean Sea. And if you’re there at the right time, you might spot some humpback whales as they migrate. (Image: Digitized Chaos/Flickr) Read more »

The sun is out and many of us are thinking about starting a summer run of hitting the beach. The wonderful thing is, you don’t even have to leave the country to do that. Cancun is great, but we have some fabulous beaches right here in the US. Here are some of our picks.

Rodeo Beach, Marin County, CA

Fun fact: Rodeo Beach is made up of unusual red and green chert grains.
