Wow.. this blog is great. You have been to Kenya?? crazy
i am going to tell all my friends
Those are all amazing beaches! I especially love the Philippines. Although, I think Kalalau Beach in Kauai, Hawaii is pretty high on the list as well. I’ve backpacked that a few times and just loved it! I want to try to make it to all these beaches though! Thanks for the post Bex!
Thanks Colton,
Unfortunately, I have never been to Kalalau beach in Kauai but after your suggestion I will definitely check it out!
Esta lista de playas es increÃble! Estoy de acuerdo con todos ellos. Mantener el buen trabajo hablando con mochila …. Te amo Bex!
you definately haven’t seen truely beautiful beaches in indonesian archipelago, other wise u’ll put at least 2 or 3 spots on your list.
anyway, nice list though.
I have only been to Bali and was not wowed by the beaches. Where in Indonesia do you think has the most beautiful beaches? I am planning on going this summer and would love your suggestions.
I totally agree – Tayrona National Park is fantastic! There are some decent places to stay on private property within the park, but there are also some great hikes that are very quiet and secluded. It was the best of both worlds. And if you hike back through the forest, you come across Kogi ruins. Other people pay hundreds of dollars and hike for six days to go to the Lost City, but here you can see the same style ruins without the crowds and within a few hours of hiking! We even met some Kogis still living nearby.
Wow that sounds incredible. We only hung out on the beach – I didn’t even know that there were ruins. Where can I find more information out about Tayrona hikes.
I agree with your number 1. Hope to see you soon back here in the Philippines Bex
Absolutely gorgeous photos! I have MS and I am almost 49 yrs old and just recently got to see the ocean for the first time! Sure makes you realize how small we really are in this big beautiful world! Would love to visit any one of these locations one day!! Now that I’ve seen these photos, sure makes me want to go!
