How about you? \u00a0Read on to discover unusual beach vacation ideas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anguilla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located in the Caribbean with bright-white sand and radiant aquamarine waters, Anguilla is a flat desert island that offers you a low-key vacation compared to busy St. Martin. In fact, you won\u2019t find Jet Skis on the island because locals don\u2019t want to risk any noise pollution. And here\u2019s a word of caution for those of you who love cruises \u2013 you won\u2019t find a nonstop flight from the U.S. to Anguilla, and no port for cruise ships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hainan Island<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Located off China\u2019s southern coast, Hainan Island (known as \u201cChina\u2019s Hawaii\u201d) is popular with Chinese and Russian tourists. But the tropical island is mostly unknown to other travelers. Visit Hainan Island and you\u2019ll find a volcano park, gorgeous beaches, monkeys, a Shaolin Buddhist temple, and more.<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__inner\"><h2 class=\"post-cta-roar__headline\">5,800+ Rockstars Have Partnered With Us<\/h2><p class=\"post-cta-roar__paragraph\">Determine which path is right for you<\/p><div class=\"post-cta-roar__buttons\"><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=16967\" title=\"New to Biz Page\" class=\"btn--primary btn--post-cta-roar js-new-button\"><span>I'm a New Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"post-cta-roar__button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tpi.itbyus.com\/?page_id=140\" title=\"Experienced Agents Page\" class=\"btn--secondary btn--post-cta-roar js-experienced-button\"><span>I'm An Experienced Agent<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>North Stradbroke Island<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Straddie (as locals call it) is located less than 20 miles from Brisbane and a popular weekend destination for those who want to escape the city.
