Polo Beach Hawaii is a sandy beach with clear water, making it ideal for swimming or snorkeling. It is located on South Maui with the Fairmont Kea Lani Maui Resort, a luxury destination for beach goers. You also have the many water options of surfing, scuba diving, windsurfing, or kayaking.

Seven Mile Beach of Negrill in Jamaica is the longest stretch of white sand. It is located near the western tip of Jamaica. The beach is a relaxing stretch of land with coconut palm trees and the sounds of the surf. You might choose to stay at the Caves, a close hotel to the beach.

With moderate weather changes you will be able to enjoy the sun and relaxing atmosphere of Maderia at Reid’s Palace Hotel.
