Riviera Maya, Mexico
A number of all-inclusive resorts and lodging options make a getaway to this Mexican city an easy option. All-inclusive resorts here are definitely the ticket for families with younger children. Having meals, drinks, and built-in entertainment included makes for a fun and relaxing vacation for the entire family. Spend the day at a pool or eco-adventure park, explore Mayan ruins at Tulum or visit the archeological sites at Uxmal and Chichen Itza.
Oahu, Hawaii
It goes without saying that Hawaii is a year-round beach paradise for families. With direct flights from SFO and Oakland, it’s super easy to access. The third-largest Hawaiian island is very busy, with activities, shopping, and excitement galore. In Honolulu you’ll find a host of cultural and historical sites—from the USS Arizona Memorial to ornate ‘Iolani Palace. In nearby Waikiki, a skyline of high-rises and resort hotels contrasts with sprawling white-sand beaches. For a taste of rural Hawaii visit the North Shore, where you’ll find crystalline waters and scenic hikes.
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands
Swim, snorkel or soak up the sun at one of the islands that make up the U.S. Virgin Islands. The island of St. Thomas offers pristine beaches, plenty of shopping areas and many sightseeing tours. A stop at the Coral World Ocean Park offers a special experience in the water. Kids over 80 pounds can walk along an underwater trail with an oxygenated helmet to view sea creatures.
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua
For something a little different be sure to consider Nicaragua’s popular beach town, San Juan del Sur. Take a day trip to Playa Hermosa, the area’s most family-friendly beach, or take a safari excursion truck in the Nicaraguan forest.
Bahamas
This diverse island chain offers a range of activities off the beaten path. Explore pristine protected areas like Lucayan National Park on Grand Bahama Island. Duty-free deals can be found at the many marketplaces in Nassau, in Freeport, and on Paradise Island.
