In reply to Marni. I love reading new comments on old posts :) And WOW you are giving me even more reasons to get to South Africa -- it sounds amazing! I really need to get there sooner rather than later.

Sorry to comment on an old post (I recently came across your site via researching the Inca Trail, and I wanted to start from the beginning), but I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to comment on my favorite beach! For me, it’s actually a tie, and both are in BEAUTIFUL South Africa, where I left part of my heart. I recently did some volunteer work in KwaZulu-Natal, St. Lucia, SA, and there was a beautiful beach about a 40 min walk from our hostel – Jabula Beach. You can’t swim there (VERY strong current) and you have to look out for the possibility of hippos charging you, but it was such a fantastic hidden gem. The second is magnificent Cape Vidal with its towering sand dunes, mischievous monkeys (they actually know how to open drawstring bags), and warm Indian Ocean waters. I never had the chance to get to Cape Town while I was there, but if you want something a little more off the beaten path, those two beaches (and the KwaZulu-Natal area in general) are amazing.

In reply to Rashaad. I haven't been to Koh Samet yet... I'll have to add it to my list when I return to Thailand!

My favorite beach is Hat Sai Kaew (I hope I got the correct spelling) on Ko Samet. I love that island, and I always love going to that section of the island.

In reply to Michael Morris. I do love Banana Rock! I actually wrote about going there in another post. Believe it or not, I brought my parents :)

In reply to Fidel. I haven't made it to Sydney yet (or any of Australia, actually!) but I LOVE the idea of a place that combines my two loves... lying on the beach and big city living. The beautiful sunbathers sounds like a nice perk as well! :)

Ahh Sai Nuan! My favourite beach also!

Amazing place to get to by longboat, really adds to the fun of such a secluded place. Did you enjoy Banana Rock as much as I did?

It’s so hard choosing a favorite beach when I’ve seen so many beautiful ones. Thailand definitely leads the list though when it comes to natural beauty. But Sydney’s top my list when it comes to bountiful beauties sunbathing, lol.
