Thoddoo island is a beautiful local island in the Maldives, offering an authentic Maldivian experience without the presence of big resorts. Instead, travellers stay in cozy local guesthouses. The beaches are breathtaking, white sand and crystal clear waters, perfect for relaxing, swimming and snorkelling. The island is also known for its papaya and watermelon plantations. Overall, I had a nice experience there. Just keep in mind that Thoddoo is a local island, so it’s important to respect the dress code and culture norms. . . , #springwander #beachvibes #beachtime #Thoddoo #islandlife #maldives #beachvacation #beachcheck #paradise #clearwater #maldivestrip #islandlife

#beachcheck On our way to Hatyai, we decided to take a brief detour and stopped at Na Thap beach known only to the locals. The weather was perfect, bright sunshine and we strolled along the shores, inhaling the fresh sea breeze. The sight of gentle waves lapping against the shore and at times caressing the soft sand in our feet made for a serene and calming experience. We ended up staying for nearly an hour, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and scenic views. #tripblazers #100waysoftravel #urbanexplorer #songkhla

#beachcheck I love visiting the floating fishing village during the late afternoon because it has the fresh catch of the day. The nearby restaurants on the beach can cook it for you in your preferred style, grilling, frying or boiling in a soup. This village once was bigger than it is now but what is remarkable about it is that every family lives on their floating home! Below their home they have their nets where they keep their catch of the night to sell the fish to the local restaurants or markets in the morning. 💞Reasons to Recommend: The local people in the village are friendly and always eager to let you choose from their selection! 🏖BAmbiance/Facilities: If you have the day to spend, take the cable car over to Monkey Island! 🏎 Getting there from Lingshui train station is a short drive or taxi ride. 💰Average Price per Person: FREE #china #hainan #lingshui #sanya #haikou #mytravelhacks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel #summervacation #summerdestinations

#beachcheck Many people do not know where this little blue house, named “The Love Shack” is located. During the summer of 2022 it was a popular photography location for the locals but since then, the audience has been less, to the point where it is deserted. Next to this little blue house there is another little house built from rocks. It has many wooden slats hammered to the walls. 💞Reasons to Recommend: What I love most about it is there is a tide pool a few meters from it and sitting in the fresh ocean water, watching as the waves crash into the walls is a beautiful sight to see! 💰Average Price per Person: FREE 🏎 Getting there from Sanya or Haikou is fairly easy. Take the train to Lingshui station and then a taxi to the beach! #islandlife #island #china #hainan #lingshui #sanya #haikou #mytravelhacks #historicallandmarks #localguides #familytrip #trip #instatravel

#beachcheck #100waysoftravel Small rocky beach not far from Paphos airport If you like snorkelling the amount of different species of fish there was breathtaking. Water was nice and clear and not cold for October. Would not recommend to any people with a disability or very old as there are a lot of steps to get to the beach and on the way back up was a killer in the heat . Only one restaurant close that was up the top of the steps but a stunning view looking down on to the beach. I would also take sea shoes with you as there was a lots of rocks on the beach as well as in the sea . This is where Aphrodite - The Goddess of Love appeared from the sea and it is a picturesque and well visited place with a small store with icecream etc and you actually walk through a tunnel under the road to get there. I’ve been told that It is considered very fortune to swim around the rock 3 time but… look at the last picture! The sea stepped out so far and now you could only run around the rock

#beachcheck Agia Eleni Beach in Kefalonia was a slice of heaven on earth! 🌅 Tucked away on the island’s western coast, this beach is a bit off the beaten path, which makes it perfect for those seeking a more tranquil and laid-back experience. The clear turquoise waters were absolutely stunning, and the soft, golden sand made it a great place to lay down my towel and soak up the sun. 🏖️ Best of all, there’s no entrance fee, so you can enjoy this beautiful spot without breaking the bank! The beach isn’t overly crowded, which I loved. There are a few sunbeds and umbrellas available for rent for around €10, but many people just brought their own towels and umbrellas. 🏊♂️ I spent most of the day swimming in the refreshing water and then enjoying a book in the shade of the surrounding pine trees. The sound of the waves and the scent of the pine mixed together perfectly, creating a truly peaceful atmosphere. There’s a small beach bar where I grabbed a cold drink and a light lunch, perfect for keeping me fueled during my lazy day by the sea. 🥪 If you're feeling adventurous, you can explore the nearby Myrtos Beach, which is one of Kefalonia’s most famous spots, or take a short drive to the charming village of Assos, known for its colorful houses and Venetian castle. 🏛️ Agia Eleni Beach is a must-visit if you're looking to escape the crowds and enjoy a day of pure relaxation. #trip #AgiaEleniBeach #Kefalonia #GreekIslandLife #BeachVibes #ParadiseFound
