Water Sport Vacations: Sailing, Skiing and Surfing
For many people an ideal vacation means
a warm and comfortable climate, sandy beaches and an ocean
shore nearby. Vacations are a great way to remove your self
from the routine of every day life and take that desperately
needed. For those who enjoy sailing, skiing and surfing,
as well as a variety of other water sports, here are some
number one hot spots for all you water sports enthusiasts.
Set your sails for adventure and prepare your body, mind
and soul for paradise when you visit the Island of St.
Lucia,
a truly tropical island paradise, 27 miles long by 14 miles
wide and a dream come true for sailors. The western coastline
features exciting anchorages and adventures for explorers
of every type. Sail the west coast up to Rodney Bay and enjoy
the beach on Pigeon Island National park. At night there
is a superb selection of attractive restaurants and bars
for you to enjoy a fabulous meal and cocktail.
Then set sail to Soufrière and visit
the Volcano, the Botanical Gardens, Diamond Falls, and
the Mineral Baths.
Then drop anchor at Ansa Cochon, a magnificent deserted beach
that was made just for snorkeling. Set your sights on the
famous Pitons, where a romantic night under the stars awaits
you. Sample the natural wonders of St. Lucia, enjoying snorkeling
as it was meant to be at Anse Chastanet. In the afternoon
enjoy the beach at the Jalousie Plantation Resort or continue
your snorkeling adventure at the Coral Gardens.
Then return to the Marigot before dark. Dine at your choice
of spectacular restaurants and enjoy the most dramatic view
in the Caribbean.
Where the Atlantic’s powerful breakers reach an accessible
shore in the Caribbean, there you will find surfers. In Barbados,
the “Soupbowl” at Bathsheba has attracted water sports enthusiasts
from the world over, including champions of the sport who
spend training vacations here and appreciate the uncrowded
waves, warm water and friendly atmosphere. Bathsheba is famous
for its fast walls and big thundering barrels.
For years locals and overseas surfers alike have enjoyed
the surfing at the “Soup Bowl” in Bathsheba. This picturesque
fishing village becomes a hive of activity in November, when
the waves are at their best and the International Surfing
Championship takes place. Surfers rent “bay houses” and mingle
with the locals, enjoying the friendly laid back atmosphere.
St.
Vincent also has good waves at Lagoon Bay as well as
Shipping Bay on the Windward side, not a venue for the faint
hearted, while Trinidad has a good surfing spot at Minister
Bay on the east coast. From sunrise to sunset bodies on boards
await the break and the Caribbean doesn’t disappoint.
Water skiing at Ski Paradise, located in Acapulco, Mexico
has been rated as the “best ski site in the world” by Water
Ski Magazine. Whether you are a beginner or want to improve
on your water skiing skills, you will have a great time.
Ski Paradise is the ultimate water ski and sports vacation,
including great accommodations and instruction from celebrity
guest coaches. If you would like to experience the greatest
ski vacation of your life, then visit Ski Paradise, who also
caters to golf, tennis, and sport fishing.
Acapulco is a city of over a million people with a great
night life, distinguished beaches and the worlds most perfect
climate. You will experience a magical week of great skiing,
great instruction, friendly people, excellent accommodations
and fabulous food. Even slalom addicts need to take a break
from skiing every now and then. You can explore the Fuerte
de San Diego, a landmark Spanish fort built in 1616. If you’re
in the mood for a little adventure, you can hire a taxi and
have them drive you through the winding streets of the old
town to show you the best and beautiful historic sites.
Although these are the top hot spots for water sports enthusiasts,
that doesn’t mean that there aren’t more great places out
there to go sailing, skiing or surfing. Whether you’re on
the East coast or West coast or anywhere in between, you
can always find a nice affordable vacation to revel in water
sports and simply have a great time.
