Before you close this page, because you can’t bother all the hassle of an international outing, what with these visa requirements that are imposed and the access rules change, you hold your horses, since this time you can even leave your little blue friend at home.
Here are 3 beach hot spots that you can visit as an American citizen without A passport this season:
St. Croix, US Virgin Islands
An unusual Caribbean island that does not yet have to see the dangerous levels of mass tourism that have so much of his neighbors teasing Witzand in powders-sugarand rich colonial culture.
Under the rule of a countless European countries, from Spain, to France, it has been to Denmark, and if you are looking for something unique, you don’t just see lying around in the Caribbean, a bright yellow, 18th-century Fort Christiansvaern stands as a solid proof of Dane presence in the region.
It is one of the various Danish era buildings of Christiansted, the island capital, and it was built to protect its residents against pirate attacks.
In order to better understand the colonial era and how the Africans made with violence, violently affected, Visit the plantation of the Whim estate. For something airy, visit the famous Cruzan Rum -Distillery.
You may wonder how you could visit this paradise without a passport and see what it looks so strange. In reality, St. Croix is part of the US Virgin Islands, a territory managed by the US, and you can come and go as you want without going through passport controls!
That is, if you come from mainland America.
Maui, Hawaii
Let’s follow it with a proven classic: Spring is the perfect time to explore a lush-green maui and all its volcanic peaks and unspoilt, 30 miles of beaches, including a golden, historic Kapalua, where you can swim in crystal clear seas supported by lava-made promontaris.
Maui is also one Much smaller island Then o’ahu, and because it is not that big and busy, it receives fewer tourists compared to, and it can feel a lot more exclusively if you actively want to beat the usual holiday realizations.
When choosing where to stay, tourists are often divided between Wailea, famous for its luxury resorts, good food and high-end shopping (it is also the home base of the Four Seasons Resort Maui), and more relaxed areas such as Kihei, filled with guest houses and more casual Eateries.
Maui is certainly not a budget destination no matter how you look at it, but you are sure that you will find accommodation schemes that fit your budget without blowing it, especially if the idea of staying in an all-inclusive resort is discussed for you.
Plus, Spring is an excellent period to visitBecause it is not too hot for outdoor activities, such as walking the Haleakalā volcano or on the way on the historic road to Hana:
The average highlights are mid -80s and lows in the 70s, and rain and fog is minimal for visibility along that specific picturesque drive.
We think that it goes without saying that, since Hawaii is an American state, it does not have to worry about international travel formalities when he goes to Maui.
Vieques, Puerto Rico
An island flight that is part of Puerto Rico, not what many Americans know about, Vieques is located in front of the east coast of the main islandAnd it is a peaceful community of around 8,000 inhabitants who offer beaches lined with palm trees and green reserves.
Despite its anonymity, Mosquito Bay is often called the brightest organic bay in the world, and if you are looking to be ghost, you must ensure that you book a kayak trip at night is not cheap, costs $ 135 per adultBut it’s So worth it.
After all, this is the Caribbean, and for those who dream of it Unpacked white sand acids in powdered sugarPlaya Caracas is that paradise on earth.
Now, if you are a nature lover, and you could spend hours by animals in the wild, the Vieques Wildlife Refuge has wild horses that walk around freely about bays and mangroves, and tourist -friendly trais.
In the meantime, the most important city of Isabel Segunda, on the north coast of Vieques, has an abundance of seafood, most of which are run-running-weed of Casa Nativo for their fresh ones, $ 15 Octopus salad and $ 3 beer– And stores that sell handicrafts and other souvenirs.
Oh, and for our fellow culture lovers, a short walk uphill of the harbor, you will find the Fortín Conde De Mirasol, the last fort built by the Spaniards on this side of the pond, in the 19th-century, before they withdrew over the Atlantic Ocean (the views of the top from above!)
Needless to say, as part of Puerto Rico, a non -recorded territory of the US, but already as part of the United States, Vieques is not necessary to visit Vastelanders to show a passport to come in.
