The Most Beautiful Beach in the World




The locals had been telling us about Lighthouse Beach which is 22 miles south of Rocksound. They said it was fabulous but when I first laid eyes on it, fabulous is not quite a remarkable enough adjective to use when you see Lighthouse Beach. It is stunning and dazzling and oh so beautiful!!!!!!!




My favourite beach of all time has always been Jolly Harbour Beach, Antigua. Now it is my second favourite and Lighthouse Beach has earned the top spot. First of all Lighthouse Beach is isolated, tricky to get to and deserted. The last 2 miles or so take at least 15 minutes of tediously slow driving with a sedan. A four-wheel drive would be much better. When we did make our way there we happened to be the 4th car to arrive. We lucked out and one family had 3 little boys for Dax to play with and they were from our resort. Dax ran and swam for hours with these little guys and Darren snorkelled and got some great underwater photos. I sat on the beach and talked to the Mom of the boys.



The beach has large white dramatic limestone cliffs that add to its uniqueness. The sand is fine and white with little pink flecks in it. The water is surreal turquoise blues with darker spots where the reefs are. The beach is shaped like a crescent moon and has other beaches on the other side of each point. The cliffs have been washed out from centuries of water erosion and have become almost cave-like and Dax loved climbing here. It is an easy beach to fall in love with because it is pure perfection.




I did not want to leave or take my eyes off of it because I have no idea when I am going to see it again. From our resort here at Powell Point Cape Eleuthera it takes a good hour to get to it. The last few miles of road to get to the beach is not conducive to a rental car, so we will not try it again on this trip, unfortunately. Luck has it that there are other lovely beaches to try out here on Eleuthera Island.

Setting Sail to the End of Earth, Antartica on Celebrity Eclipse

Image
  Taken from our Sunset Balcony Upgrade. Deck 14 Bar was a favourite hang-out. Embarking on an epic journey to Antarctica, Darren and I were in for a whirlwind of surprises and unforgettable experiences. The anticipation soared as my bid for an upgrade to the Sunset Balcony suite on the Celebrity Eclipse was accepted just two weeks before our flight to Buenos Aires. A delightful surprise to Darren on his birthday, this gift set the tone for the adventure ahead. Our path to Buenos Aires was paved with unexpected luxuries when an Air Canada programming glitch secured us Business-class tickets at an Economy price. Nestled in lie-flat beds within our private pods, we soared above the clouds for over 14 hours, making Darren's birthday celebration truly extraordinary. Arriving in Buenos Aires, we revelled in the city's vibrant past during a half-day walking tour with our friends. The beauty of the city was juxtaposed with the challenges it faced—graffiti-laden streets, the impact of

Breathtaking Machu Picchu, Peru

Image
Peru is breathtakingly beautiful. A country of vast rivers, snow-capped mountains, rainforest, stunning valleys, ocean, Incan treasures, gorgeous landscapes and of course Machu Picchu.  Machu Picchu is unequivocally one of the best UNESCO sites I have ever seen. Arriving at Aquas Calientes which is the base town of Machu Picchu you are struck with deja vu. The town reminded us of Hong Kong but it is a tiny place stuck in between tall triangular-shaped mountains, narrow streets and many stores and restaurants and let's not forget about the massages being offered for sale.  You can't help but like it because it is very beautiful!  If you like dogs then you will see so many different breeds here and it seems that they belong to everyone. The raging river that runs through Machu Picchu town The triangular-shaped mountains. Aguas Calientes has numerous large rock sculptures.  A talented artist beautified the rocks that were in situ.  This looks like a scene out of Hong Kong. At dinn

The Unique Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Image
While flying over the Galapagos Islands it appears to be barren.  We were very excited to finally get a chance to experience Darwin's legacy which we learned in high school.   The Galapagos Iguanas were there to greet us as we walked off of the tarmac onto the sidewalk. They were everywhere.  We tried to collect our bags but Dax's replacement bag with all of his new clothes was missing.  It took roughly 30 minutes to locate his bag and the workers had literally left it on the tarmac.  We celebrated when we heard the good news with a few high fives and whoops. We boarded the 5-dollar bus which took us to a small 1-dollar boat ferry which took us from Baltra Island to Santa Cruz Island.   My blue hard-sided bag precariously sitting on the bow of the boat. This tiny boat was a bit of a laugh and completely overfilled with people and luggage.  The trip is swimmable so I wasn't too worried.  You get off the boat and you have to hire a 25-dollar taxi for the 45-minute ride to Pue
