Summer time is vacation time! This is the best time of the year to spend a holiday. No need to wear thick winter jackets, no winter shoes and boots and most of all no freezing cold weather. Did you already book your summer vacation? Yes, I do but sad to say not in any beach somewhere in Europe. I wish, I am lying and relaxing now in one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Here are some of the beautiful coastal areas I wish to visit in the future.

the beautiful fine white sand beach of Boracay in the Philippines. Thanks to my sisters for sending me some images from Boracay.

Boracay

It is an irony for me visiting other places in the world but still was not able to visit one of the beautiful beaches in my home country. Boracay is an island in the Philippines. It is voted by the BMW Tropical Beach Handbook one of the best beaches in the world in 1990. It is also the world’s number one tropical beach in 1996 by British publication TV Quick. Imagine how beautiful it is!

My three sisters and my brother had the chance to visit it again last March 2011. I envied them and how I wished that I was there too!

Estonia

Spending a coastal holiday in Estonia can be a beautiful experience. Since it is a country that has over 1500 islands, for sure you can find a lot of beautiful beaches there. You might want to relax for a spa break in its biggest island, Saaremaa and have a sightseeing in its well-restored medieval castle in its only city, Kuressaare. You can also enjoy some outdoor activities like hiking, cycling and sailing. Visiting Estonia’s summer capital, Parnu can be a highlight for your holiday. How about watching the film festivals in Tallinn? I believed visiting Estonia with all its charm and beauty is well-worth it.

Just a reminder, as guests and visitors in a certain place, we must also think and consider about responsible tourism. In this way, we will learn to respect the culture and tradition of a certain country. Lastly, we will also learn to take care of our environment especially our Mother Nature.

Mauritius

Do you know where to find Mauritius in the map? It is a small tropical island located in the Indian Ocean, southeast of the Seychelles and east of Madagascar. This is a perfect place to visit because of its nice tropical weather all year round. You can find here white sandy beaches and the warm, turquoise water in Indian Ocean is simply great for swimming. Accommodation in Mauritius varies from wonderful villas to apartments, hotels and private rentals. There are also a lot of activities to do while spending your holiday in Mauritius. How would you like to tour around with quad bikes or maybe go deep sea fishing? Hiking and trekking can also be an awesome experience especially when seeing the breathtaking views of the mountains, forests and rivers.
