Happy Monday: I wish I was...

At the BEACH!

Since I'm not on vacation anywhere this week, I decided that tonight I would list the top five most favorite beaches I've ever been to.  If you have a better one, please comment below!

1. Flying Point Beach, Southampton, NY

Flying Point is a town-owned beach in Southampton, Long Island.  It's at the South End of Flying Point Road in Watermill.  I went to this beach growing up with my parents, grandparents, and cousins.  I have fond memories of this beach...there are really none other like it.  If you want to go, you need to know someone who has a permit to get in.  

2. Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

At the Boardwalk

At the Public Park

This is currently a favorite spot for my family.  With beaches that are so similar to the beaches in Southampton, it brings me back to my childhood.  We love to go to the beaches at the Public Park because it's less crowded.  You can also hit the beach by the boardwalk, which will give you the opportunity to take in the amusements along the beach during the day.  Personally, I'd rather pack a lunch and hang out where it's quiet during the day, and then hit up the boardwalk at night...and grab an ice cream at Kohrs Custard!

3. Trunk Bay, St. John USVI

Yes...the water is THAT blue.

I've been to this beach twice...both while on cruises.  You can head over to this beach on a day trip while visiting St. Thomas.  This beach is well worth the trip. It's gorgeous...breathtaking and relaxing.  I would go back in a second!

4. Orient Beach, St. Martin

Another incredible beach.  It's just BEAUTIFUL!  The only warning....on parts of this beach, they allow nudity (gross).  Just stay towards the end that requires bathing suits and you'll be fine.  It's really an incredible place.  The food on the French side is delicious!

5. Elbow Beach, Bermuda

Saving the best for last.  Bermuda was an incredible trip and it's another place I'd go back to in a second.  Elbow Beach is paradise.  I went to Bermuda on a Norwegian cruise in 2007, prior to the cruise ship docking for three straight days.  We were only in Bermuda for one day, and I was completely heartbroken to leave this beach.  I swore I'd go back some day.
