This may sound way out there but Parksville, BC is really nice. You would have to fly to Vancouver and make your way to the Island. There are ferries that run every hour. The scenery to get TO Parksville is amazing and Parksville itself is beautiful. It has an amazing beach. Google Rathtrevor Beach and see if you like the sound of it. The water is way, way out and the weather isn't too warm or too cold. There are fun things to do with the water besides walking TO the water. The tidal pools are amazing, the sand dollars a fun and the town of Qualicum Beach is a cute shopping destination. I have been there quite a few times for a week at a time and I only live 2 hours south of it. Just food for thought.

We went to Playa del Carmen two weeks ago. We stayed in the Iberostar chain (different price points at the four different hotels). We rode camels, snorkeled with sea turtles, barracudas, and sting ray, ate great food and sat on the gorgeous beach and drank in the pool.

Another Marco island vote here. Our family has a home there and love it. Very quiet that time of year and much more affordable than in season. About 45 minutes from Ft Myers and not overly touristy since it is the last stop on the gulf side of the state.

Hilton Head, Charleston or Savannah come to mind. California would be nice too... Carmel? That's what I was going to suggest. You can do HH and then day trip to Savannah and even Charleston if you want to drive a little further. Beaufort is a nice little town not far away also. There will be kids but there is so much beach you can find plenty of time to yourselves. |
