If you're ready to get away and take the family to a beach that's relaxing and entertaining for adults, but that still keeps the trip fun and exciting for the kids, we've compiled a list of the top 5 beaches in the world for families. So, let's start the countdown from number five and work our way to the very best beach.

5. Trunk Bay, St. John in the Virgin Islands

Trunk Bay is part of the Virgin Islands National Park, and probably the least known beach in our list. But, it is one of the best kept secrets of the Virgin Islands. With the offshore coral reefs, Trunk Bay beach is considered the best on the island of St. John.

Visitors can lounge in the sun, or explore the coral reefs in the pristine waters off the coast of St. John. You can even try your hand at underwater photography with the snorkeling equipment rentals available. For more adventure you can take the family hiking into the park to see old sugar plantations and the history of St. John.

4. Cancun, Mexico

Cancun is a popular hotspot and home to some of the best beaches in the world. The best time of the year to visit this Mexican paradise is around November or December. You'll avoid the spring breakers and the tropical storm season that usually hits in September or October. It's also the best time to get a deal, and when traveling as a family, good rates are important.

Since you'll want to find accommodations close to or on the beach, you'll find your best bets on the famous Hotel Zone, which is a 14 mile peninsula into the Caribbean Sea. Our pick for the best hotel in Cancun is the Barcelo Costa situated on the Playa Linda Beach in Cancun. This resort is close to the golf course, shopping and of course, the beach.

3. St. Tropez, France

Most people think of Hollywood stars and clothing optional beaches when they hear St. Tropez. However, there are several family friendly beaches in St. Tropez that feature beach playgrounds, and places to find snacks for the kids. Stay away in the summer months as there are hordes of people on the beaches and in the shops. June and September are the best months to take the family to the beach so you can still enjoy the warm climate, but avoid the masses.

The Amarante Golf Plaza Hotel sits on the Bay of St. Tropez and features luxury amenities like a swimming pool, fitness room, golf and tennis, and serves gourmet food in their on-site restaurant.

2. Paradise Island, Bahamas

Paradise Island is small at only 5 square miles, but it is heaven for beach goers. Besides the sandy beaches there are lots of fun things to do with the family including shopping along the quaint streets, eating local cuisine, or venturing through the 100-foot underwater tunnel to see sharks, barracudas, and stingrays.

The Atlantis is the premier location to stay in Paradise Island, with water activities for the kids and a full 18-hole golf course. On their Cabbage Beach you can parasail, jetski, and snorkel.

1. Surfers Paradise Beach, Australia

Surfers Paradise Beach is our top pick because of the selection of activities for people young and old. The beaches are gorgeous, the water clear and inviting, and a ton of fun attractions at the Gold Coast. There are plenty of theme parks like Sea World and Movie World. Activities run the range from shopping, laying on the beach, snorkeling, surfing, fishing, and even bungee jumping. At night they have hopping clubs and a casino.

The Gold Coast International Hotel is far and away the best pick for luxury accommodations in Surfers Paradise. Featuring spacious rooms, top rate service, clean swimming pool, world class restaurant and bar, the beaches should be the first destination when traveling to Surfers Paradise, on Australia's Gold Coast.

This is a video of my family and I at Seaworld 2007. My mother had always wanted to go so I saved up every penny I had for months plus quite a bit of my college financial aid to pay for everyone to go. I wanted to do something for everyone to spend time together as a family for her because she was sick but deserved it too. So this video is for my family. And the beat is done by my wife. :) Sorry, the video quality is bad, and this is all the footage I had. UPDATE 2009: My mother had a gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Essentially that is a tumor in the intestine. Well, it was discovered a few years back, and the doctors said that it was benign and that they should have surgery to take it out. Because my family was one of millions that have no insurance (because of the corrupt system we have) and we couldnt afford it they decided not to get the surgery. We found out a year later that it was indeed malignant and it had spread to her stomach. After 4 more years of a painful deterioration my mother passed away Aug 8, 2008. She was 38 years old... I hope this in some way incourages people to support healthcare reform, it is needed. My mother did not need to die at 38 years old. (anyway, I thought i should update so that everyones questions could be answered.)

You'll find hundreds of them within the park's boundaries, all smiling at you in that special way.

When you travel to Southern California, it's always wise to keep a checklist of the top places to see and things to do. To better help you plan your next invigorating escape to this amazing destination, here are my picks for top five places and things to see and do when in the Sunshine State.

Hollywood Boulevard: Don't miss the Walk of Stars, where the most famous actors, actresses, film producers and directors have their very own star decorating this walkway. Other notable sites include the world famous Whiskey A Go Go - where Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix performed - the Viper Room, and hundreds of stores and shops that line this amazing, historical street; a must-see when you travel to Southern California.

Pacific Coast Highway: Is a few hundred mile stretch of highway that is one of the most famous and historical highways in the United States. The views that you will see when driving along the Pacific Coast Highway are second-to-none. Stop off at any of the dozens of beaches along the way to lie in the white sand and watch the tide roll in.

San Diego Zoo: One of the largest and most amazing zoos in the entire world awaits you with more animals and exhibits than you will find almost anywhere else in the world. Make sure that you have a park map, sunscreen and some bottled water handy, as this park demands one or two days to really take it all in and see all of the sights.

Santa Monica Pier: This pier sits alongside Boston's and New York City's as one of the most famous piers in the entire country. The best time to visit it is at night, when the shops and the trademark Ferris wheel are all lit up brilliantly. One can easily spend hours of time walking from vendor to vendor, people watching, strolling along the beach, or visiting the many different attractions.

Sea World: One of the largest and most exclusive water parks in the world is the place to go if you want to catch one heck of show. Learn about exotic large fishes, and see some pretty fabulous shows. If you get lucky, you can even pet the bottlenose dolphins or offer them a tasty, fishy treat.

A SeaWorld killer whale seized a trainer in its jaws Wednesday and thrashed the woman around underwater, killing her in front of a horrified audience. It marked the third time the animal had been involved in a human death. Distraught audience members were hustled out of the stadium immediately, and the park was closed. Trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was one of the park's most experienced. It was not clear if she drowned or died from the thrashing. A former contractor with SeaWorld told the Orlando Sentinel that the whale, Tillikum, is typically kept isolated from SeaWorld's other killer whales and that trainers were not allowed to get in the water with him because of his violent history. The park said it hasn't decided yet what to do with the whale. Brancheau's sister Diane Gross, of Indiana, said her sister "would not want anything done to that whale." Gross told the Associated Press that news of her sister's death "hasn't sunk in yet." A SeaWorld official said that because of Tilikum's size and involvement in two previous deaths, trainers were not supposed to get into the water with him.

Do you know which is the world's largest marine adventure theme park? Yes you're right. It's Sea World San Antonio, the 250 acre Texas theme park which showcases different forms of marine wildlife (such as shamu, dolphins, sharks, seals, sea lions etc), 6 exciting rides, world class animal shows and close encounter with marine life and exhibits. No wonder it's currently ranked as one of the top 5 most popular attractions in Texas!

While it's doesn't exactly cost you an arm or leg to let spontaneity guide your Sea World San Antonio vacation, planning well ahead can be the gateway to great savings. Especially if you're know where to get Sea World discount tickets. But just how much can you save with such cheap tickets to warrant the hassle?

Let's illustrate this with some calculations. If a family of four (2 adults and 2 children between 3 to 9) decide to spend 2 days at the park, buying Sea World tickets for each day at the gate will require at least $392. But if the same family gets their tickets online and prints them at home, they get to visit the marine adventure park for just $196. A 50% discount! Do note that the figures used in this illustration is subject to changes so always check the existing prices before making your plans.

Perhaps you may be asking "So, where can I get such Sea World discount tickets?". Here are some tips :

(1) Buy & Print Get Your Tickets Online Via Sea World's Official Website

Getting your tickets before reaching the gate helps you slash a modest percentage off the price. For a start, if you get single day passes online and prints them at home, you'll get 10% off each ticket (subject to conditions). Should you decide to get the multi-day tickets, 2 days of fun at the marine paradise will only cost you the price of 1. While you're on the website, browse through the "specials" for any promotions which you can further take advantage of. Who knows? You may save much more than you thought!

(2) Stay At Sea World Preferred Hotels

Sea World has a list of preferred hotels which throws in free vacation access passports along your stay with them. These passes allow each guest unlimited access to the park during their period of stay and that alone is a great saving! Besides, staying at such hotels can enhance your holiday experience since they're within such close proximity to the parks.

(3) Special Privileges For AAA Members Senior Citizens & Military Personnel

Do you know that if you're a AAA member, senior citizen or military personnel, you're also entitled to specials for Sea World admission? AAA members receive special discounts while for senior citizens get a $3 off a single day pass. As for military personnel and 3 of their dependents, they get a complimentary admission each! Remember to identify yourself at the gate

(4) Buy Unutilised Tickets or Passes Via Online Forums, Classifieds, Auctions

Yes, one man's junk is another's treasure. If you're willing to scour through some of these classifieds like Craiglist or auction sites like eBay, there are great bargains waiting to be found. People are letting go of their unutilized tickets almost for nothing. For example, a set of 3 child admission tickets are selling at $20 on eBay. That's a whopping $115 saved off the gate price!

SeaWorld Trainer Killed By Whale A Sea World killer whale snatched a trainer from a poolside platform today and thrashed the trainer around underwater, killing her in front of a horrified audience. It marked the third time the animal had been involved in a human death. Distraught audience members were hustled out of the stadium immediately, and part of the park was closed. Trainer Dawn Brancheau, 40, was rubbing Tilikum after a noontime show when the 12000-pound whale grabbed her and pulled her in, said Chuck Tompkins, head of animal training at all SeaWorld parks. Park officials say the veteran trainer drowned. Audience member Eldon Skaggs said Brancheau's interaction with the whale appeared leisurely and informal at first. But then the whale "pulled her under and started swimming around with her," he told The Associated Press. Skaggs, 72, said an alarm sounded and staff rushed the audience out of the stadium as workers scrambled around with nets. Skaggs said he heard that during an earlier show the whale was not responding to directions. Others who attended the earlier show said the whale was behaving like an ornery child. Another audience member, Victoria Biniak, told WKMG-TV the whale "took off really fast in the tank, and then he came back, shot up in the air, grabbed the trainer by the waist and started thrashing around, and one of her shoes flew off." Two other witnesses told the Orlando Sentinel that the whale grabbed the woman by the upper arm and tossed her ...

Mainly known for its long stretch of golden beaches from Southport at its Northern end to Coolangatta at the South end, the whole region has been built with the tourist in mind with possibly the greatest collection of tourist accommodation in Australia. Gold Coast accommodation options range from budget backpacker to five-star Hotel and most of them are situated adjacent to a beach.

But the Gold Coast is not just famous for its beaches even though they provide some of the best wave breaks on the east coast of Australia. You also find many other natural attractions to keep you busy for many weeks of your holiday.

Without wanting to limit your choices let's take a look at a few of the more famous options available to you.

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. This famous bird sanctuary developed out of one man's passion to encourage brilliantly coloured parakeets and lorikeets to visit his parkland home over 80 years ago. In the latter years of his life he bequeathed his estate to the Queensland National trust who took over his business and run it to this day as a popular tourist attraction. At regular intervals during the day thousands of these brightly coloured birds visit the park to be fed by tourists. The diet is a specially designed one which encourages health and the birds and provides them with a certain source of food.

Springbrook National Park. In the hinterland of the Gold Coast region you will find a subtropical wonderland with waterfalls and long walks for tourists looking for some exercise whilst enjoying panoramic views over the Gold Coast beaches from the surrounding mountains. Being a tourist destination in their own right, you will find such diverse attractions as tulip farms and craft shops.

They are all located at the northern end of the Gold Coast and are within an easy drive or bus trip from any hotel. The worlds will take you at least one day each to get through and has a mini Disney World appeal that will keep children wanting to come back again and again, so why not buy a multi-day pass to save yourself some money and keep children entertained? These popular destinations have formed the basis of many tourist plans for decades.

Q1 Tower. The tallest building in surfers Paradise rises 80 stories above the surf and the platform deck at the top gives you unparalleled 360° views of the entire Gold Coast region. On a clear day you can see back to Brisbane!

There are lots of things to do in San Diego, Sea World, and the world famous San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park. The air is much easier to breath than Los Angeles and the scenery is phenomenal. To plan your perfect family vacation to San Diego you should narrow down your choices so that everybody enjoys the day.

Sea World is great place to spend the whole day watching shows and if you want you can feed and play with the dolphins. They have water rides so if it gets too hot you can cool off while riding Shipwreck Rapids or Journey to Atlantis. There are afternoon and evening shows featuring Shamu and other shows that focus on sea lions. There is even a sea lion show that makes fun of all the other show. Make sure to sit in the back if you don't want to get wet. To have a once in a lifetime experience you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner with Shamu.

The world famous San Diego Zoo is a wonderful place to take the family. They don't call it world famous for nothing. You can ride the Skyfari aerial tram from one end of the park to the other and witness a view of the whole zoo. There are shows for the kids and they can get involved with Mr. Zoolittle and learn about household experiments. You can bring your lunch into the park and find a shaded area and sit down. If you decide to ride on the bus tour they have up top seating and down below, if it's a hot day its best to sit on the bottom.

The San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park is a great place to experience a safari type setting. You can walk around and view all the animals and take pictures. There is a car tour that takes you on a 30 minute drive and tells you about how the San Diego Zoo is taking care of animals. For those who want to ride in style they offer a personal Segway so you can tour the whole park without ever taking a physical step.

Another place to visit in San Diego is Knott's Soak City. It's the same as Knott's Berry Farms Soak City but minus one ride, the luge. It's a great way to cool off and relax while the kids play in the wave pool. Many of the rides have a height requirement but if a parent rides along the child can ride too.

The best value is to buy a park pass that lets you visit the zoo, the wild animal park and Sea World. You can get extra perks like a ride on the Skyfari at the zoo and a safari tour at the wild animal park. Sea World has plenty of show to keep everybody entertained. Make sure to get your family photo taken when you arrive at each park, you can view your photos before you leave.

These relaxing beaches provide a calming effect to an individual. It is less crowded compared to the beaches of other states. That is why despite the numerous activities that people can engage in while staying in Florida's beautiful beaches, visitors still manage to find enough time to relax.

Speaking of activities you can get busy with during your Florida vacations, you'll never run out of water activities to indulge yourself with. A few such activities are scuba diving, parasailing, surfing and a lot, lot more. If you're not familiar as to how these activities work, there are many mentors or instructors hanging around the beaches ready to render their services and help you learn. Also, you can get in touch with nature by grabbing the chance to have a closer look at Florida's wildlife and ecosystem.

Having enough of nature sight seeing and beach bumming, you cannot set aside the other wonderful things that Florida has to offer. There are also extra-ordinary museums, shops and restaurants you can pay a visit to. On the other hand, if you are hooked on very well-known theme parks, be sure to include Walt Disney, Sea World Adventure Parks and dinner shows in your itinerary.

Stromness - Orkney Islands is a town in the very north of Scotland amidst the seventy Orkney Islands. Stromness is on of the twenty of these which are inhabited. This area has always been very advanced. There is evidence of high activity in prehistorical times. Advanced buildings--round buildings--were discovered in the Orkney Islands, dates as being built long before their time.

Due to the fact that Stromness is on an island--and all of the islands once belonged to Norway--it is needless to say that fishing and shipping is the prime market. Agriculture is strong in this area, but not nearly as strong as it could be were they not on islands. It is too difficult to move animals and there is not enough pasture land.

Stromness was the center of Orkney's advancement. This is an easy feat, since Stromness is on what they call "Mainland, " which is the largest island in the archipelago. Being the second largest town of Orkney, it is only natural that the town would pull ahead and lead commerce.

It became important in the late 1600s during yet another war with Britain's great rival, France. Shipping men and sailors were put to the test, since the normal trading route through the English Channel could not be used. Other ports were closer, of course, but Stromness's pride was its shipping and boats.

The town itself is very quaint, with just over two thousand residents. There is a ferry crossing to get you from Stromness to Scotland proper, but that is the only way apart from airplanes. It dealt with a lot of whaling in its time and though that has been cut back due to the endangered nature of the animals, Stromness residents still boast their whale bone relics.

The area has strong historical ties, especially religious ones. The town is a parish capital, and has an old monastery and ancient burial grounds. Though it is not a religious pillar in the Christian world any more, it is a place of note for scholars.

Built in 1805, this National Historic Landmark is America's oldest working distillery still in its original location along Hardin Creek in Loretto, Kentucky. In 1953, Bill Samuels, Sr. purchased what was then Burk's Spring Distillery. He began experimenting with the old family recipe tracing back to 1780, replacing the rye with red winter wheat.

Samuels' wife, Margorie, was the creative mind behind the bottle. As a collector of pewter marked by their maker and cognac bottles dipped in wax, she was inspired to create the family symbol SIV, Samuels 4th generation. This led to the name Maker's Mark and the signature bottles hand-dipped in red wax.

After all of the Samuels' hard work and innovation, the first bottle, aged 6 years, was sold in 1959, but the company didn't make its first profit until 1967. That same year Bill Samuels, Jr. joined the family business and then in 1968, Bill and Margorie's daughter, Leslie, created the first visitor's program.

In 1980, Maker's Mark was the first alcoholic beverage facility to become a National Historic Landmark. This news was featured in the Wall Street Journal and jump started the company's sales growth. By the 1990s, Kentucky's distilleries were becoming popular tourist attractions, soon to known as the Bourbon Trail.

Since the early 1800's, Kentucky's famous distilleries have crafted the world's finest bourbons, using secret recipes and a long-established process passed down from generation to generation.

Step into our country, and let it sweep you off your feet. We have every thing you need in Bourbon Country.

Australia is an extraordinary place to visit, especially if you enjoy spending time in nature, seeing exotic animals like kangaroos and fairy penguins, and appreciating diverse cultures. Whether you go to Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, or any of the country's other states, you will see sites you will not see anywhere else in the world. And if you take advantage of Australia travel deals, your trip will cost you less than you expect.

Of course, you need not spend your entire holiday in the outback. You can also take tours to wineries and the famous Ayres Rock. Theme parks like Sea World, Movie World, and Wet 'n Wild appeal to children and young-at-heart adults. And there's no shortage of bars, restaurants, day spas, zoos, and wildlife parks. If you are really adventurous, you might even take a scenic flight over amazing landscapes.

Planning a trip requires thought about the not-so-fun parts of vacations. Whatever Australian state you visit, you'll find excellent hotels and inns to fit every budget and style; but you need to make reservations in advance. You will also want to know where to find banks, buses, embassies, dentists, and health clinics. Hopefully you will not have any medical emergencies, but you need to be prepared, just in case.

One way to keep costs down and get the information you need is to buy an Australian discount card. With multiple travel deals in Australia, a discount card makes the best of the country within reach of the frugal traveler. You'll get the cheapest and best travel insurance, car hires, car rentals, bus and plane tickets, hotels, and tours.

Do you want to spend some time on one of Australian's sand beaches? Consider an Orpheus Island Resort, located within the Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural wonders of the world, and accessible only by seaplane, Orpheus is a paradise for the discriminating traveler. With a travel saver discount card, you can even afford this luxurious retreat. While you're by the sea, think about using your discount card to go on a fishing trip, a sail, or a surf trip.

Australia also has unique cultural resources. The Sydney Opera House, for example, is one of the busiest performing arts centers in the world. You can get discount tickets for an opera, the circus, a rock concert, or a cabaret. Be sure to leave enough time to tour the building; it's a work of art in itself.

Whether you plan to spend a few weeks, a few months, or a year in Australia, you will quickly recoup whatever you pay for a discount card, and keep on saving. Depending on the type of card you buy, you can get from 10 to 50 percent off on services, sightseeing, and accommodations.

Australia is the largest island continent--a multicultural society with a rich heritage and outstanding natural resources. The easiest and most economical way to see this remarkable country is to buy a discount card and stay for a long visit. You won't regret it.

For over 40 years, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Discovery Cove have maintained a quiet commitment to the rescue and rehabilitation of animals in need - be they ill, injured, orphaned, or otherwise requiring care. What has become an extraordinary commitment did not start as a grand idea. Quite the contrary. It began with a single animal in need of help. Our staff committed their time, effort, and energy toward the rescue and rehabilitation of that first animal. Then one rescue became two. Two became three. Today, over 17000 distressed animals have been sheparded through our rescue program. (That's the equivalent of helping one animal every day since that first rescue way back in 1965!) So what started as a single act of kindness has become a singular commitment to animals in need. We may not speak of it often. We may not speak of it loudly. Without question, though, our Rescue & Rehabilitation program is one of our proudest efforts. It is a core part of who we are and what we strive to be. To find out all about who we are, please visit: www.worldsofdiscovery.com To find out more about our Rescue & Rehabilitation program, explore www.swbg-animals.org

One of the happiness in life for the young at heart is the presence of Disney specials. Generally speaking, these are discounts, giveaways and other extra treats provided for by the Disney management to encourage more people to patronize their theme parks, resorts and attractions.

However, these Disney World package deals may not come to your attention as fast, as easy and as convenient as you want them to be. After all, you cannot spend your time constantly scouring the news, looking at the official company website and asking around for the deals, discounts and specials available. It will not make you happy, not even with the thought that you will be going to the happiest place on Earth.

Here are strategies proven to getting the best of the best in Disney specials. Choose one or combine everything for maximum effect, if it is possible to do so.

Purchase an Annual Pass

An annual pass presents many opportunities to save money on your vacation. Of course, there are certain circumstances in which the annual pass is best applied for. As an example, it is best to apply for the annual pass when you intend to stay for 10 or more days at the Walt Disney World Resort for more than once annually.

You will be able to avail of discounts on the rooms for up to 45 percent off the regular rates, in addition to discounts on tours, recreation, merchandise and dining options. Only one in your party needs to be an annual pass cardholder in order to secure the generous room discounts. Keep in mind, however, that the annual pass also demands doing your math and research. You want to be able to determine the savings with and without the pass especially in the case of once-in-a-lifetime Disney specials.

Rent DVC Points

DVC stands for Disney Vacation Club, which the company's take on the popular timeshare program of resort companies. Needless to say, the timeshare units in Disney are definitely the most enjoyable in the relaxation industry or Disney resorts are not the happiest places on Earth. Plus, your family will definitely appreciate the amenities of each unit including a fully-furnished kitchen.

The beauty of the DVC is that you need not own a unit since you can always rent it. There are two ways to do so: First, you can rent a unit directly from Disney although this is often on a very limited basis. Second, you may rent a unit from the owner with the added advantage that the rental fee is often at half of what you would have spent had you went for the first option.

Both of these options can be considered as Walt Disney World specials in many ways. You will also be qualified for a few special treats such as access to Magical Express transportation and Disney's Dining Plan, to name a few.

Anybody can avail of the Disney specials. It just takes a little bit of imagination, information and ingenuity along with the professional services of a specialized travel site.
