Different people have differing ideas of what makes a beautiful beach. Some people love the bustle and people-watching of Miami Beach. Others like the cold, rugged beauty of Cape Cod. Mediterranean beaches can be nice, too. As for me, I like three things: 1. Being able to see the water and a steep mountain backdrop at the same time. 2. Seeing minimal evidence of human building or encroachment. And 3. To be (mostly) alone at the beach—just me and my loved one(s). With these criteria in mind, my favorite beaches in the world are to be found on Kauai.
We don't spend a lot of time at the beach—maybe 60 to 90 minutes at a time. But we try to go every day. And we've been enjoying going in the morning, which leaves the afternoon free for lunch, visiting friends, and other non-aqueous activities.
