This question really does come down to what you are looking for from your beach holiday. If it is surfing and adrenaline beach sports that you are keen on then beauty and tropical islands might not top your list. If you are looking for relaxation and painful beauty then islands groups are probably more suitable. However, forgetting any sorts of considerations, lets just have a quick look at some of the most beautiful beach locations in the world.
The first place to mention may just be the most beautiful beach and island landscape in the world. The island of the Maldives are totally stunning for anyone who has ever been to them. Thousands of island make up beautiful atolls and each one is gifted with its own stunning sandy beaches. Typically these islands have been popular for honeymoons and couples, and their beauty really tells the story of why this is so.
Secondly, the island of the South Pacific will also offer up some dazzlingly incredible beaches for you to enjoy. The island groups of Fiji and the Cook islands are all absolutely stunning and will more than take your breath away when you first see them.
Third of all, a very popular spot for travellers and holidayers alike is Thailand and the other countries of Indochina such as Vietnam and Cambodia. Here you will be able to find that prices are extremely low and as such you are able to live like a king on a cheap budget in some beautiful beach locations.
Fourthly, the stunning island group called the Whitsundays at the bottom of the Great Barrier Reef are also completely awesome. In particular, if you ever visit this region, you have to make sure that you see Whitehaven beach. If ever there was a beach that was designed for a postcard, this would certainly be it.
The list does continue on for as long as your arm and at the end of the day the main consideration you will have to make when choosing where to go will be what you want to do and the budget you have to work with.
These are only a few of the top beach holiday locations in the world. If you ever have the money to see these places, then it is certainly advisable to try to tick at least one of them off your list.
Now you can enjoy the benefits of a super surf shop today! Visiting the online surf shop will give you the chance to prepare for your next vacation fast and easy!
Thinking About A Costa Rica Vacation? Check Out Jaco

Some of the most popular beaches in Costa Rica are close to the small yet bustling town of Jaco. Two hours away from San Jose, and easily reached by car or comfortable, cheap, ubiquitous buses, Jaco is located on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast in the northern part of Puntarenas province. This is a party town.
Jaco has long been popular because of its fun, casual and relaxed atmosphere, and many friendly people. More and more tourists from around the world have already learned of this fantastic place and travel to Jaco for its nearby tranquil, beautiful clean beaches and many things to do. And, it is easy to reach by car or comfortable, cheap, ubiquitous buses.
Only about half a dozen years ago, Jaco was still pretty laid back and quaint. Not so much anymore. With tourists came more bars, restaurants, and shopping centers. They were followed by developers: more hotels, more resorts, and now towering high rises. But, the beaches remain—and they are still spectacular.
Fortunately, Jaco isn’t just a great location for people who have lots of money. Indeed, it caters to any budget. There are hotels and accommodations ranging from luxurious to, well, basic (think hostels with dorms and cold water—but cheap). Restaurants of every kind have sprung up here as well, not to mention tropical bars and taverns.
Jaco Beach sits directly in front of Jaco and is very, very popular but , in my opinion, nearby beaches just a couple of miles or kilometers away, are much better. There are fewer people and the waters are some of the purest on earth. The best beaches are awarded Blue Flag ecological certifications for cleanliness. When you vacation in Jaco, I strongly recommend going to spectacular Hermosa Beach, a couple of miles south of Jaco. Though it is not good for safe swimming due to its currents, it is pristine and pure with some of the best surfing on the planet. How good is the surfing? Think world class. Indeed, this July professional surfers from more than 35 countries are descending upon Hermosa to participate in a week of world surfing championships. Watch them during the days or party with them at night in Jaco.
There are dozens of different things to do and innumerable places to visit close at hand. Costa Rica is tiny but filled with interesting places and activities. Go whitewater rafting or learn to sea kayak. Take a horseback ride along the beach or through the mountains (if you’re into extreme riding, you can literally ride across Costa Rica from the Pacific to the Caribbean). Visit volcanoes, sit in volcanic hot springs, try rappelling in tropical mountains, go ballooning. Or just sit back and enjoy the great ocean views and beautiful, romantic sunsets. But, take care when swimming. Some of the beaches, wonderful for surfing, can be dangerous for swimming because of riptides. There are no lifeguards—and no warning signs—so ask if it is safe to swim before jumping in.
And, if you exhaust all the other activities (probably pretty difficult), don’t forget that you can also experience great off shore fishing. The warm, tropical waters are alive with marlin, tuna, sailfish, porpoises, dozens of other varieties, and often whales. But, whatever your tastes, Jaco is definitely a wonderful place to take your vacation.
Though it is easy to reach by air, Costa Rica remains to be discovered. Columbus was the first to find it and, indeed, gave it its name “Rich Coast.” It remains a spectacular haven with one-fifth of every species of plant and animal on the planet residing together in a tiny little country. So, don’t limit yourself to the beaches of Jaco. There’s lots more waiting.

Welcome to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world: Malpais and Santa Teresa, known for their rugged jungle beauty, unforgettable sunsets, and especially the epic surf in Santa Teresa. The area has also become known as a hot spot for amazing cuisine in Costa Rica, since many amazing chefs have moved here from different parts of the world.
When you arrive in Santa Teresa and Malpais, you’ll instantly become aware that you’ve found an amazing and unique place, very different from most other villages in Costa Rica. The Malpais area has been compared with Hawaiin beach towns decades ago, but with monkeys in its forests, or with a warm-water version of Santa Cruz, California.
Despite its popularity, the Malpais area still has beautiful beaches that you can often find almost deserted, many beautiful waterfall hikes, and secret surf spots where you can have a great wave to yourself.
Santa Teresa is known primarily as a great location for incredible surfing. This remote beach town was unheard of only 10-15 years ago, but now is a favorite destination for surfers from around the world. Costa Rica and Santa Teresa’s surf is consistent year-round, as the area faces the open Pacific Ocean, with warm waters that are comfortable throughout the seasons. The Malpais/Santa Teresa area has many surf schools, surf instructors, and surf shops.
Many tourists come from European countries as well as Canada and the United States. Hundreds have fallen in love with the Malpais area and have immigrated, opening rental houses, hotels, and restaurants. The food in Santa Teresa and Malpais is among the best in Costa rica, with many five star restaurants at very affordable prices.
The Santa Teresa area has also become known as a great surf destination among Costa Ricans as well. Many of the young people in San Jose drive to the various beach towns to surf on weekends, and many families head to the beaches during vacations. Malpais itself means “bad country” or “badlands” because of the lack of water during the dry season. The climate is similar to southern California, with hardly any rain at all from December through April, making it very popular among travelers during those months.
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica has many luxury villas and other rental houses available to tourists. Most popular are the beachfront rental homes, that range from $350-$2000 per night. The high end vacation rentals are consistently booked despite the prices, especially since Forbes Magazine rated the Malpais/Santa Teresa beaches among the top 10 most beautiful in the entire world.
Many have found that renting a vacation home is superior to the experience provided by a hotel. A rental villa usually has more space, more privacy, and is a much more unique and adventurous experience. The typical tourist to this part of Costa Rica usually craves this type of lodging, and as a result there are no hotel chains set up in the area.
The hotels of the area are unique and mostly mom-and-pop type of places. The beachfront hotels are the most popular, ranging from $100-$1000 per night for a room, and the rooms of all price categories are frequently booked. The gorgeous setting of Santa Teresa makes it very popular with honeymooners, and for people having weddings, and many of the rental houses and hotels cater to such clientelle.
