Can you already hear the waves and smell the salt water? Would you much rather be splashing around in the sea than sat at your desk? If so, then you should consider booking yourself a trip to any one of the four travel destinations listed below. Each one of them is perfect for sea-lovers like yourself!
Lanzarote, Spain
Lanzarote is the perfect place to head to if you love to surf. The swells, tides, and waves found on this Canary Island make it a Mecca for all budding surfers — there are that many surfing hotspots to be found on the island of Lanzarote that it has, in recent times, garnered the moniker of being the ‘Hawaii of Europe’.
No matter what time of the year you decide to head to Lanzarote, you can be sure that good waves will be rippling. For the best swells, you should be sure to head to the North, East and West coasts of the island. Just don’t forget your surfing gear, there is nothing worse than getting ready to hit the waves and finding out that you left your women’s rash guards at home. They are needed for a reason, so do your checklist before jetting off!
Nanwan, Taiwan
Found on the south coast of Taiwan, Nanwan is an amazing place to head to if you’re a keen beach lounger. Here, you can spend hours topping up your tan in front of one of the world’s most clear seas.
Would you much rather be a bit more adventurous on your holiday? Fear not, as Nanwan is awash with various water-sport facilities. Windsurfing, jet skiing, snorkeling — you name it, you can do it in this beautiful region of Taiwan.
Royal Davui Island, Fiji
Does being surrounded by the sea for two weeks sound like your idea of heaven? If so, you should book a trip to the Royal Davui Island Resort, royaldavuifiji.com/private-adults-only-fiji-island-resort/. This adult-only Fijian island resort will offer you the chance to chill out in front of pristine waters all day. Once you’re ready, you can try out any water-based activities made available by the island’s Marine Centre — these activities include exploring the underwater marine sanctuary, paddleboarding, kayaking, and snorkeling.
Friesland, The Netherlands
Friesland may be a little-known Dutch coastal province, but it’s still a place that adrenaline junkies flock to year in, year out to get their water sports fix. Here, as well as the sea, there are a host of canals, lakes, and waterways, making it the perfect place to try out different water-based activities. You can go surfing at Makkum, try kitesurfing at Workum, and give bodyboarding a go on any of Friesland’s inland lakes (which, by the way, are the largest chain of inland lakes in Europe).
It doesn’t matter that the summer is nearly over. If you really want to, you can still indulge in your passion for the sea by traveling to any of the destinations listed above. Whether you’d prefer to go surfing in Lanzarote, whether you’d prefer to chill out on Nanwan beach, whether you’d prefer to go exploring underwater in Figi, or prefer to be adventurous in The Netherlands — rest assured, there’s a travel destination out there that is perfect for you.
