Planning
a family beach vacation?
Looking for destinations with
family resorts that have fun
sports and activities for the
whole family, all inclusive
resorts where meals are
included and kid clubs? Here
are some of the most popular
beach destinations for
families to unwind and relax:
Mexico
Mexico, especially the
Cancun area, and Mayan
Riviera, an hour’s drive
south of Cancun, is a popular
place for family beach
vacations. The Mayan Riviera
is one of the regions of
Mexico - and the world- which
offers the richest variety of
landscapes and archaeological
treasures including Mayan
ruins, coral reef, snorkelling
lagoons, and eco-theme parks
such as Xcaret. Hotels,
resorts, restaurants, and
attractions throughout Mexico
welcome families with open
arms.
Jamaica
Jamaica is considered by
many to be the most beautiful
of all the Caribbean Islands
and is one of the top
family-vacation destinations
in the Caribbean. Many of
Jamaica’s resorts offer
supervised children's
activities, babysitters,
family discounts, and kid's
meals. Jamaica has an
abundance of top all-inclusive
chains including: Sandals
Beaches, SuperClubs Breezes
resorts and Club Med. There
are also many other family
vacation options such as the
Franklyn D. Resort in Runaway
Bay, Jamaica, where families
have their own vacation nanny
during their stay.
Turks and Caicos
In a 12-mile stretch of
satiny white-sand, Beaches
Turks & Caicos is one of
the premier family resorts on
the island.With separate
programs for infants, toddlers
and teens, each is designed to
give each age the activities
they love. So when you're off
doing your thing, they're off
doing theirs. There are many
other resorts to stay at this
idyllic family beach
destination
Bahamas
Home to the Atlantis
Bahamas resort and many other
excellent family resorts,
there will not be a dull
moment on your Bahamas family
vacation. Blessed with the
perfect location-less than 100
miles off the coast of
Florida, the perfect climate-
averaging a little over 75
degrees, and the perfect
surroundings-crystal clear
turquoise blue waters and
pearly white beaches, the
Islands of the Bahamas is the
perfect destination for your
next family beach vacation.
Hawaii
A Family Hawaii Vacation
has it all. Beautiful beaches,
world-class golf, surfing,
shopping, swimming, top notch
hotels, condominiums, eco
tours, national parks, warm
weather, and cool ocean
breezes. The four islands that
are popular for a family
Hawaii Vacation are Oahu,
Maui, the Big Island and
Kauai.
Florida
Florida is a popular family
beach destination because the
climate is warm year round, it
is easy to get to, it offers
good value for your money,
there are endless options for
sightseeing and attractions
for you family depending on
what area you are in, and the
beaches in Florida are
numerous. In addition to beach
destinations and of course
Walt Disney World, there are
tons of other family outings
including Universal Studios,
Sea World, Bush Gardens and
many more.
Don’t forget about kid
cruises
This is a very popular
family vacation option and my
personal favorite. Cruises
with kids offer great value,
choice and freedom! There are
a lot of misconceptions about
cruising such as it is only
for older people and not
suited for families, it is too
rigid, there is nothing to do,
you’ll feel trapped,
you’ll get seasick, it’s
too expensive! All is these
statements are false and could
not be further from the truth.
Bring your kids along on
almost any cruise and they'll
have the time of their lives.
