Having grown up in Hawaii and then moving to Puerto Rico, I’m ‘umbilically connected’ to the beach. I’ve been fortunate to have been to more than a few lovely, tropical beaches and it’s hard to pick favorites but here are the ones I think of whenever I see those “top ten” lists of favorite beaches:
1) Hapuna Beach, Big Island, Hawaii
2) Polihua Beach, Lanai, Hawaii
3) Savannah Bay Beach, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands
4) Haputo Beach, Guam
There is one beach that I would actually like to live: Puako Beach on the Big Island. Since the average price of a home there is a million dollars, I’ll have to win the lottery before that will happen though 🙂
