Bali is a world-class surf destination, whether you're chasing big barrels or just learning to stand up. The island’s coastline has something for everyone—Kuta and Legian are great for beginners, while Uluwatu, Padang Padang, and Keramas attract pros from all over the world. You'll find plenty of surf schools around, with UP2U Surf School in Kuta being a solid pick for lessons or guided sessions.

Visit Taman Safari Bali to see over a thousand animals up close, all in a setting that’s part adventure, part education. It’s a good spot if you’re travelling with kids or just want a break from beaches and temples.

Saline Beach is St Barts’ untamed coastal masterpiece — a crescent of powdery sand where turquoise waves meet rugged hills in perfect harmony. The journey begins with a 200-metre trek through scrubland and over a low dune, rewarding visitors with a vista of undeveloped shoreline where the only distractions are seabirds and the rhythmic crash of surf. On a clear day, direct your gaze past the green dot of Île Coco and you'll just be able to spot St Kitts on the horizon. Come prepared: shade is scarce and facilities nonexistent. What you’ll find instead is raw beauty; the kind that draws naturists and photographers, all chasing that rare blend of wildness and tropical splendor. Time your visit for late afternoon when the light gilds the salt pond’s edges (the same salty pound that gave the beach its name), and you’ll understand why this beach remains the island’s best-kept escape.

The Marco Island Center for the Arts is a must-visit for travelers looking to explore the area’s creative side. Stroll through rotating gallery exhibits featuring local and regional artists, shop for one-of-a-kind treasures in the gift shop, or catch an outdoor performance or event. Whether you’re an art lover or just curious, this cultural gem offers a glimpse into Marco Island’s vibrant artistic community.
