Best Beach Vacations for Families Around the World
When a group of travel writers shares their favorite family beach vacation destinations around the world, you never know what to expect. I was thrilled when I posed this question to many fellow writers and found their answers to be various and far reaching. Last week, many of them shared their favorite beaches in the United States (we saved Hawaii for this week), and now they are spilling the beans on their favorite beaches around the world. I hope you enjoy this journey through the sand and sun, possibly recalling old favorites or finding something new to explore.

Best Beaches for Kids in Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America
Every photo of beaches I have ever seen in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America looks amazing. What’s not to love about the turquoise waters and sugar sand beaches? I was not surprised when I had an overwhelming number of posts shared from this part of the world. Be sure to read all of the posts, you might be surprised to find a new favorite.
Best Beaches in the Caribbean for Families
We had a fabulous experience at Beaches Resort in Turks & Caicos. The white sand is some of the softest we’ve ever found and the water is amazing shades of blue!
We’ve always loved snorkeling and exploring the beaches in Los Cabos. Only some of the hotels have swimmable beaches, so be sure to check before booking, but you can always take a cruise to the Cabo Arch or elsewhere to snorkel.
Reading through all of these posts makes me realize how much I love visiting the beach with kids. It also makes me realize how diverse all the beaches in the world can be, from rocky pebbles to sugar sand, it seems no two are exactly alike.
