Since my favorite choices in each category are limited by those places I've actually been, it is very possible that there are better places that you've discovered on your own; so if you have any favorites, I'd like to hear from you. I'm also hoping that I will find some more great places as I continue to explore this world. It was tough to limit each list of favorite places to five.
 

One of the great things about being a Professional Beach Bum is that you get to travel anywhere it occurs to you to go, whenever you feel like going there and staying for as long as you feel like staying.
