Eduardo Cabanas There are three dozen, but here are just three of the top picks:are: Grande Anse les Salines, considered one of the Caribbean´s loveliest, is near the island´s southwestern tip, a 45-minute ferry ride from Fort-de-France. It´s famous for its mile and a quarter (two kilometers) of golden sands and calm, crystal-clear waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing. Anse Céron, up north near the town of Le Prêcheur, is serene and less crowded, known for its black sands (a…

The beaches of St. John, the USA´s dreamiest Caribbean island paradise

flickr Most of the islands best strands are on its north shore, within the Virgin Islands National Park (more about that below), and the most famous – and according to aficionados one of the world´s most beautiful – is Trunk Bay (above), with clear turquoise waters, powdery white sand, a fascinating underwater snorkel trail, and a number of amenities, including lifeguards, a snack bar, and rentals of beach chairs and snorkeling gear. A five-minute drive away from Trunk Bay, also gorgeous…

The nifty, gnarly beaches of Puerto Escondido, Mexico

urbanwide Esconced on the lower Pacific ¨Emerald Coast¨ in the state of Oaxaca, the town of Puerto Escondido (which means ¨hidden port¨) was up until the 1960s barely a pinprick on the map, with dirt streets and just a handful of residents mostly devoted to fishing. Then in 1960 a coastal road reached the village, making it accessible to the outside world, and a village hall was built. Most consequentially for tourism, it was during that decade that surfers (pioneered by a group of…

Angola has some winsome beaches, too, and here are its top 10

David Stanley This southern African country´s mostly arid coastline runs 994 miles (1,600 kilometers) along the Atlantic Ocean, so that leaves plenty of room for a bevy of beautiful – even stunning – strands. They range widely in amenities, from full service to wild and practically deserted. Here are the top 11 worth noting, running from nearest to farthest from capital Luanda:read post

At The World on Wheels, it's our first full day in Ensenada. Emotions flow as we visit the neighborhood my wife used to live in and hasn't seen in four decades. This is also the day we have those delicious chilaquiles: http://tinyurl.com/blzm93n

It's been a long time since we've driven into Baja. American tourism is on life support here amid reports of drug cartel violence. I'm warned by well-meaning family and friends to not even think about it. Are we crazy for doing it anyway? I don't think so. Today on The World on Wheels, we start a brand new adventure...a road trip to Ensenada, Mexico, with new reports, photos and videos: http://tinyurl.com/alhu9h3

One bad thing about the Dominican Republic is the lack of practical information for wheelchair travelers. Well, at The World on Wheels, consider us your guinea pig. Here is what you'll encounter in a wheelchair and a video report on accessible features at the Riu Palace resort in Punta Cana: http://tinyurl.com/d5uot56
