Mexico City
Mexico, especially the Cancun and Riviera Maya area, an hour’s drive south of Cancun, is a popular place for family beach vacations. The Riviera Maya is one of the regions of Mexico -and the world- that offers the richest variety of landscapes and archaeological treasures that include Mayan ruins, coral reefs, lagoons for snorkeling and eco-theme parks such as Xcaret. Hotels, resorts, restaurants and attractions throughout Mexico welcome families with open arms.
Jamaica
Jamaica is considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the Caribbean islands and is one of the top family vacation destinations in the Caribbean. Many of Jamaica’s resorts offer supervised children’s activities, babysitters, family discounts, and children’s meals. Jamaica has a host of top all-inclusive chains, including Sandals Beaches, SuperClubs Breezes resorts, and Club Med. There are plenty of other family vacation options, too, like the Franklyn D. Resort in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, where families have your own vacation babysitter during your stay.

Blessed with the perfect location, less than 100 miles from the Florida coast, the perfect climate averaging just over 75 degrees, and the perfect setting of crystal clear turquoise waters and pearly white beaches, the Islands of the Bahamas are the perfect place. destination for your next family beach vacation.
Hawaii
A family vacation in Hawaii has it all. Beautiful beaches, world class golf, surfing, shopping, swimming, world class hotels, condominiums, eco tours, national parks, warm weather and cool ocean breezes. The four islands that are popular for a family vacation in Hawaii are Oahu, Maui, the Big Island, and Kauai.
Florida
Florida is a popular family beach destination because the weather is warm year-round, it’s easy to get to, it’s a good value, there are endless sightseeing options and attractions for your family depending on the area you’re in, and Florida’s beaches are numerous. In addition to beach destinations and, of course, Walt Disney World, there are plenty of other family outings, including Universal Studios, Sea World, Bush Gardens, and many more.
Don’t Forget Family Cruises
This is a very popular family vacation option and my favorite. Cruising with kids offers great value, choice and freedom! There are many misconceptions about cruising, like it’s only for seniors and not suitable for families, it’s too rigid, there’s nothing to do, you’ll feel trapped, you’ll get seasick, it’s too expensive! All of these statements are false and could not be further from the truth. Take your kids on almost any cruise and they will have a great time.
