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...

Ixtapa Island- Ixtapa, Mexico

Image
This is Coral Beach on Ixtapa Island The kids wanted to go to Ixtapa Island because this is where the best snorkeling is located in the Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo areas.  When we first started asking around and getting price quotes for this, we were getting prices anywhere from 90 - 110 American per person for a day trip to Ixtapa Island.  Anyone who knows us know that we hate organized tours because you get herded around like cattle, you don't get to make your own decisions and 90% of the time they are a rip-off for something that you can organize yourself.   Once the kids found out how expensive it was they began to research this trip and they realized that it's quite achievable to do without a tour or a tour guide for a fraction of the cost. We first took a taxi from Hilton Grand where we were staying to Playa Linda, where the Pier is located for the water taxis.  Our taxi from the Hilton Grand cost 300 pesos to get the 4 of us to Playa Linda where a lot of marke...

Climbing Mt. Solmar with The Dogs, Los Cabos, Mexico

Image
We heard about this climb from Darren's niece who had done the exact climb last week.  Whenever you do a search on hikes in the Los Cabos area, this Mount Solmar hike does not come up.  I would highly recommend it though because it was a great deal of fun and it was challenging.  I went with 3 friends and to top it all off there was a bunch of dogs walking with us up the mountain.   Enrique runs a Dog Training Center.  He started this hike with dogs to train them most likely. And now people join him for free and climb up Mount Solmar with the dogs. The dogs love it and they are barking and in a bit of a frenzy before you go.  You take an Uber or drive your car to the dog training center and you wait in line at 8:00 a.m. this hike accompanied by dogs is available every morning except Saturday.   Kent, Joelle, Craig and I in the line-up to get into see the dogs and start the climb. Enrique led us into the compound and gave us a talk on the area...
