Beach Vacation: Wintertime

You can find a perfect beach vacation spot in the winter. Wintertime at the beach can be just as enjoyable as in summer. You should plan and pick the right spot that suites you and/or your family.

Tropical beaches, such as those in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Fiji, and Bora Bora, have warm weather year round with plenty of sunshine. If you are interested in taking a beach vacation and enjoy interesting sights and countryside, you may consider a wintertime beach vacation in the Southern Hemisphere.

Australia and New Zealand are in the Southern Hemisphere. Their winter is the opposite of the winter season in the United States. Winter in the Southern Hemisphere runs from June 1st through August 31st. Taking a beach vacation in December, January, or February will be a warm treat from the cold weather in the United States. Tropical beaches are located within 23 1/2 degrees north or south of the equator.

Hawaii

Hawaii is a state in the United States but is always considered separately when discussed as a vacation destination. It is considered a tropical island so the weather is warm year round. There are a number of interesting places to visit and stay on the islands.

The Grand Wailea Resort and Spa is on the island of Maui. There are a number of activities to keep you and the kids busy such as the Lava, Ana Puka, and Rapids water slides. There are height restrictions for kids using the Lava Slide and the Ana Puka Slide. There are lagoons, waterfalls, a 4,580 foot Hibiscus pool, and the 25,700 square foot Canyon Activity pool. This is a perfect resort for honeymooners and for families. You can reserve beach cabanas, too.

The island of Oahu is the most popular of the Hawaiian Islands. Waikiki Beach and the state capitol of Honolulu are located on this island. Hawaii is the big island with the cities of Kona and Hilo. The Volcano National Park is located on this island. It has beautiful waterfalls and breathtaking beaches. Maui has a number of luxury resorts and golf courses.

No matter which island you choose, you can find an exciting winter beach destination in the state of Hawaii.

Fiji and Bora Bora

The Fiji Islands are famous for their beautiful blue water and sandy beaches. There are several resorts including the Fiji Island Resort and the Yasawa Island Resort to choose from.

Bora Bora is one of the islands of Tahiti. It is in the same time zone as Hawaii and its beaches are protected by a coral reef. There are a number of resorts to choose from and breathtaking scenery.

Caribbean Islands

There are many large and small islands that make up the Caribbean Islands including the U. S. Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Bermuda, Barbados, and so on. The Caribbean Islands have beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, and warm weather.

There are a number of resorts on each island and they feature activities such as wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, and nature hikes. Each island has its own historical museum and there are many outdoor as well as indoor shopping areas. A number of resorts on these islands cater only to adults and others are for family vacations.

Southern Hemisphere

If you want to take a really interesting beach vacation in the winter, plan a trip to Australia or New Zealand. The winter months in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite to those in the Northern Hemisphere (USA). If you enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving, Heron Island beaches have amazing marine wild life. Heron Island is located on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

A note of caution when planning your beach vacation in the winter, hurricane season in the Caribbean is from June 1st to November 30th. August through October is the peak time. You want to keep this in mind when deciding on your vacation destination.

When the weather is cold outside and the snow is falling and you want to get away to a warm, sunny place with amazing beaches, marine life, and fun activities to keep you occupied all day and into the wee hours of the morning, take a beach vacation.
