The dream getaway for many people is having a vacation on a white sand beach looking out on warm turquoise waters. Vacations are planned where the waters are bathtub-warm, there are swaying palms, and you can kick back and really relax. Breathtaking beaches are found in every continent in the world. A few of them are highlighted here.

The Hawaiian Islands in the United States have some of the most breath-taking and enchanted beaches that to welcome you year round. Kauai is an example of the perfect getaway, with its tropical temperatures, romance, and tranquility. It's a lush and green paradise but not overly developed. This gives you a chance to enjoy one of those lovely beaches without intrusion by other people.

While you're on Kauai, be sure to visit Poipu Beach if you want a little more activity. There are water sports to attract every member of the family. Snorkeling is particularly great here due to the clarity of the warm water. You can see hundreds of species of tropical fish in all colors.

South Beach, Florida is another excellent beach vacation destination. Since it's topless, it isn't considered a family beach. Many adults frolic there, however. The miles long beach is entirely manmade and the warm, tropical water is very clean. Actually, more visitors are attracted by the down home art deco culture, intermixed with the stunning natural scenery. You'll also find numerous martini bars and live Latin music for your listening and dancing pleasure.

Our next stop is Ipanema Beach in Brazil. It became famous during the 60s with the popularity of the song "Girl From Ipanema". It is situated in Rio de Janeiro, noted for its festivity, and filled with beautiful men and women, wearing little clothing. If this kind of atmosphere attracts you, then this is one of the best places on earth to enjoy it. You will find miles of white, sandy beaches to spend your happy vacation days in the sun, watching the beautiful people. Not as serene as some beach getaways, but definitely a fabulous time.

We now head back north to Canada. While many people don't think of Canada as having beautiful beaches, Long Beach in Tofino British Columbia will prove them wrong. While the waters are not turquoise, Long beach is simply breathtaking. Perfect for surfing and taking long walks down the shore. There are plenty of tidal pools full of interesting sea life such as starfish. Tofino itself is a quaint little fishing town full of eccentric locals.

Next we're off to the French Riviera home to St. Tropez. It's now one of the favorite places for a European vacation, although it used to be known as a secret escape for famous movie stars. This area attracts those with appetites for the "best" things in life and they love to let it show. It is near to Cannes, home to one of the world's most famous film festivals. The ocean water is bright blue and if you tire of sunning on the beach, find a table at one of the beachfront bistros, sit back, and watch all those gorgeous people.

People have always loved the scenic beauty of beaches and there are no shortages of destinations. Just a few on the worldwide list are Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica, Bali, and Australia. You can be one of the many who visit exotic beaches every year.
