Spend the day playing on the miles of beautiful, white sand beaches that await you. The beautiful blue green waters are warm year round, and have gentle, relaxing waves.

After you've spent time on the beach, stroll across the two mile long board walk and you will find an endless variety of world class accommodations, as well as some of the finest clubs and restaurants you've ever visited.

If shopping is your thing, you could lose yourself in the endless array of shops and eateries. Take a leisurely walk down Ocean Drive, the main shopping area. Visit the Lincoln Road Mall, this seven block long mall is home to dozens of upscale shops, favourites of the discriminating traveller.
