Beach of the Week: Royal National Park, New South Wales

The secluded beaches of the Royal National Park are so beautiful words cannot describe and pictures do not do them worthy. The sand is so fresh, it is squeaky and soft. The water was warm even in the Australian winter. The specific beach I hiked to, was an hour bush walk away (6 km). When we got there, there were other back packers that were camping out on the grass hill, but that was it. There were only a few empty boat sheds and the rest was nature to be seen for kilometers. I could have spent all day swimming and relaxing with the solitude of the waves breaking and my friends laughing.

Beach of the Week: Byron Bay

Calling all laid back and ready to chill 20 year olds around Australia! Byron Bay is the perfect spot for you! It is full of beautiful honeys and rad guys who are down to beach and party their life away. The town itself is full of health stores and surfer shops that are to die for! And then, a block away, lies the most pristine beach that doesn't get too crowded, but is still a fun atmosphere. The ocean has the most magnificent blue color and a perfect little sand bar that attracts sun bathers who just get a little too warm from the hot, hot sun. The beach also has a wonderful walk to the nearby light house and rocky coast that is a must see morning hike. Also, if you're looking for a place to eat or stay, Ray's is a neat spot to check out!

Beach of the Week: Tortola, BVI

Apple Bay, Tortola

Home of the infamous Bomba Shack, crystal clear water, and amazing white sand beaches, Apple Bay is to die for. The conditions are close to perfect close to all the time. Sebastian’s is a fabulous recommendation for a place to stay or rent a house for the week up the hill to enjoy breathtaking views. The sunset from this beach is full of pinks, but the full moon is when you really want to experience the beach. Full moon parties and a huge celebration in Tortola and you can be guaranteed a fun time
