Will Datalounge pick my vacation destination?

Brighton Beach!

R1 How do we know he likes borscht?

Casablanca.

[quote] Casablanca.

Why Casablanca?

Greece with Carrie and Seema!

One of the ABC islands!

Which island has D?

Biloxi, Mississippi!

You must go to Tanna Island of Vanuatu and see the world's most accessible volcano. It has all the very best that the South Pacific has to offer.

Laughlin, Nevada?

Costa Rica

Malta. I’d say Portugal but it’ll be packed in April.

Caye Caulker Belize if you are poor. Turks and Caicos if you are not.

Branson, Mo. or Fort Lauderdale.

Manhattan Beach —the one in Brooklyn, not the one next to Hermosa and Redondo

You didn't indicate if you have an unlimited budget or want to be near bigger city diversions. The beach can get pretty old after ten days. If you just want nice Gulf white sand beaches, the Florida Panhandle has some good choices. I know it’s Florida but Destin, Cape San Blas and St. George Is. are actually pretty nice.

Go on a cruise . Tres DL!

I was watching some twitter whores frolic naked on a beach that had Black sand! Turns out it was an island off the coast of Africa called Cape Verde. Very remote looking place with strange colors.

My budget is $5000 to $6000 including flight. I just want to get away, I can do the beach for 10 straight days. I don't need any tourist attractions.

Where do you live, OP? It makes a difference regarding the advice we provide.

If you're in the US, I'd argue the best "value" though not the most glamorous choices would be Key West or Puerto Rico.

Obviously, you could go to Australia, South America, or the Caribbean, but the added cost outweighs whatever incremental enjoyment you'd have.

That's a nice budget, OP! Out of my price range for recommendations, I'm afraid. But have a wonderful trip!

I’ve always wanted to go to the Swedish island Gotland where they filmed Pippi Longstocking and Faro where Ingmar Bergman lived and filmed movies.

Here you go OP:

The Yasawa Islands

Seaside Heights in March.

Oh, you’ve got to go to Paris in April, and while you’re there take advantage of its Mediterranean beaches.

What r27 said. Paris is famous for its many beaches.

I'll pick your nose.

Mine too!

Please be a young gay r4.

It's a joke, from way back.

I've never been to Turks and Caicos, that's an idea.

Seychelles

Mianus

Go to Hell. Sorry, it had to be said.

Tangier!

If you want the beach, why would you go to Key West? Rent one of those villas just South of Puerto Vallarta.

Vanuatu's active Yasur volcano. You can climb right up to the crater rim and peer down. Be mindful of the flimsy guardrail.

Because you didn't specify a budget

R38, actually OP did specify a budget at R19.

[quote] My budget is $5000 to $6000 including flight.

Pacific coast, Mexico, Costa Rica, Miguel Antonio or Spain.

Beware of multiple sargassum. It's everywhere from FL to Barbados to Cancun. Very few beaches have been unaffected and it changes daily. The most expensive resorts clean the water and the beaches but it's still awful.This is Palm Beach, Aruba, always one of the best in the world.

Given ten days and $5,000 I am changing my recommendation to ambergris Caye in Belize.

BILOXI, MISSISSIPPI

Since this is the second time you've posted Biloxi, Mississippi in all caps, I am now oddly curious.

Coronado Del Mar, SanDiego. Mykonos grand resort, Mykonos Greece Four seasons- Maui (Wailea) Le Sirenuse - Positano, Italy Moorea Pearl, moorea tahiti.

Cook Islands.

Beautiful but a long flight

If it was good enough for Aaron Rodgers …

Op, save your money and just watch the travel channel. Your 6 grand could do well with alot of interest through the years.

I'm hearing good things about North Korea, OP. Be a trendsetter!

Once again, I am going to suggest Biloxi, Mississippi.

World class dining. World class views. World class people.

The Redneck Riviera

Go to Cozumel, OP. I went there years ago and I thought the beaches were nicer than the ones in Maui.

Anguilla has gorgeous beaches, great food, and - best of all - peace and quiet. I've visited five times and have always found it to be gay-friendly, albeit low-key (which is the vibe of most of the island, away from high-end resorts).

There are good value hotels on Shoal Bay East and Meads Bay, both of which are excellent locations for a first visit. Or for a splurge, rent a small private villa with pool.

This website tells you everything you need to know.

Biloxi

I was intrigued by Anguilla, but they seemed to be booked up for the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Sicily. I loved it.

$5-$6K for a 10-day beach trip? OP, open up your mind and get the hell out of North America/Northern Hemisphere and go to Tahiti or Fiji, or maybe even the Seychelles.

Mississippi

I hate to say it, but why not just go to Florida?

Oh, R58 .... really? REALLY?

R58, ewwww, Florida -- how gross!

Shashkatoon.

Bon bini, come to Aruba!

R60, yes, really, Florida. Let's face it. Aside from Hawaii, Florida has the nicest beaches in the 50 states. I've lived in both northern and southern California. California simply does not have beaches on par with Hawaii and Florida.

OP has a $5 to $6K budget for one person and wouldn't mind spending ten days on the beach.

You can easily spend $500 per night on accommodations. That is already $5,000 for ten nights.

I'm not familiar with the US Virgin Islands, but maybe those beaches are nicer than Florida's.

Gaza has lovely beaches!

R63, any number of beaches outside the US are prettier and cheaper on the wallet than Florida's.

And frankly, Florida may as well be a foreign authoritarian nation than some Latin governments!

R65, well, name some of these beaches, then.

We’re in Maspalomas right now and loving it. Bring your fetish gear for a night at the Yumbo center.

The Virgin Island beaches are nicer than Florida, but a nice hotel on a beautiful beach in the USVI for 10 days will be over OP’s budget.

Florida's Gulf Coast beaches are pretty great.

Biloxi, Miss.

I think the Biloxi Chamber of Commerce is posting on DL.

Try Dubrovnik dear before you go home.

April is a good time to go to Brazil.

From these pics, the Caribbean offers several nice beaches.

April is also a good time to try southern Mississippi, we are better than Alabama

By a smidgen, at best. 49th but not 50th is not a great talking point.

R73 the dengue fever is beautiful just now…

I know the OP mentioned beaches, but I'll throw this out there anyhow: 5 days in Prague, Czechia. One of Europe's most beautiful and historically preserved cities. Then take the train over to the high Tatras Mountains of Slovakia (underrated, rugged alpine beauty).

Czechia deserves to be rewarded for being the only country having much sense re: gay rights in that region.

We are throwing it back

Fort Jefferson was good enough for Dr. Mudd.

Bora Bora. The men are handsome there too.

Krakatoa, east of Java.

Baltimore, obviously.

Biloxi

Detroit

Cleveland

Baltimore

Revere Beach

Roosevelt Hotel, New York, NY

Plum Island

Good lord, r85. Please stop conjuring her up in unrelated threads such as this one.

Have you decided, OP?

Go to hell, OP.

Biloxi, I hope
