Default VBOT - tell me where to go...on a beach vacation

We have an anniversary coming up. Would like to spend some time on a beach. We have been to Hawaii and Costa Rica, a bunch of places in FL, CA. Open to any suggestions...

I should have mentioned that I want to steer clear of Mexico. I know several agents who do work down there. I'll check out Montauk. Cuba would be interesting!

If you're looking for peace, tranquility, with no commercialization, I suggest Tybee Island GA. It's just below Savannah. Great restaurants, locally owned and operated. VERY casual. Think Margaritaville.

Which city, which section of the city, and which bar in the section of city?

Sorry OP, I know I've derailed ya but, as with all things here, we'll get back around to that too.

Here's another vote: Crete. My buddy James, 69camfreak, is another to a long list of folks that go there and say it's the bees knees.

No, I've never made it to Bohol. I've heard good things about it just never made it. Tagaytay, Baguio, La Union, 100 Islands, Hidden Valley, Palawan and Batangas are all recommends though.

Grand Caymans. They have a small stretch of beach called 7 mile beach. If you are feeling adventurous, swim with stingrays or free dive on the Kittiweck. But the beach is great.

Plus only 4 hours from Dulles airport.
