Best Beach Vacation Spots
Heidi Mitchell, senior editor at Travel + Leisure Magazine, has compiled a list of some off-the-beaten-path spring break suggestions that are perfect for the family. The first beach on the list is St. Lucia, the Caribbean;

“St. Lucia has been a charming out-of-the-way Caribbean island for years, known for its rugged interior outlined by empty beaches. Now, the island is served by daily non-stop flights on Delta from Atlanta and American from Miami and is undergoing near-constant real-estate development. The rustic southern half of the island is full of fishing villages, waterfalls, and cottage-style plantation villas. The Coco Palm resort costs $145 a night. The French Creole-inspired resort has wi-fi service, yoga cruises, and guides to take you through the 19,000-acre rain forest on the new zip line.”
Other beaches that made it to the list:
- Antiparos, Greece
- Great Oyster Bay, Tasmania
- Todos Santos, Mexico
