chris_alcock Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I am looking to photograph the beautiful, blue water, white sand, tropical beaches. I always see photos like these at art shows, vacant, but never know where they are. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel_franz Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Sure, closest to home (assuming home is the US), try the Virgin Islands or just about anything in the Caribbean. Nonetheless, there are a few beaches in the world that have the Caribbean beat - no question about it. Try Bora Bora, Fiji, Tahiti or just about anything in French Polynesia, the Marshall Islands, and the Solomon Islands. It will make you happy... "Image-Google" these places and you'll know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve santikarn Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 look through geographically based photo websites such as Trek Earth and you'll be able to see all the locations before you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_lawrence Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 There are also very photogenic tropical beaches in Hawaii, Mexico, and Central America. The key to finding them deserted is simple. Get to the beach at or before sunrise! Most tourists don't start heading over to the beach until well after breakfast. You should easily have most beaches to yourself (and maybe a few other photographers and a few early morning joggers or fishermen) during the first couple hours of daylight of any day.

adventure travel and photo Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Peter has a good point... Costa Rica has some great locations. And some of the best spots are the spots not often visited. I just spent a few days at the Corcovado national park (southern CR), the beaches are inhabited, the sunsets amazing, the flora and fauna unseen elsewhere. Had to be flown out of there with dengue fever, I think it was caught somewhere else, but it was well worth it! Many beaches north of CR as well. And the Caribbean coast has many sandy, blue/green-watered beaches. I was at Bocas del Toro in Panama not too long ago and the water and beaches are fantastic. Will be uploading photos of these trips next week, finally getting my film scanner this week. Cheers and feel free to contact me if you're ever interested in traveling to CR. Andres.
