  5. I wonder, have been to all of these?!

  6. Elizabeth Gonzalez

    Oh no, I want to experience and enjoy at least one of these beaches, but I’m worried about how much I need to spend!

  7. Connie Schmidt

    Now I’m having a hard time thinking which one to visit first *sigh* ?

    • One of the things you should consider is the adventure that beach can offer. It would be good if you choose the one that can offer snorkeling, diving, and parasailing. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. I just came back from vacation and yeah it’s tiring but after all that we have done, Its all worth it!
