    For a European escape, head south, where the Canary Islands welcome sun-seeking Europeans all year. The temperatures are a bit milder than what you find in the Caribbean in the winter, but visitors enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings in comfort. Try Tenerife, famed for its beaches, including El Bollullo and La Tejita. © Lunamarina | Dreamstime.com
  • Dubai
    For a getaway even further from home, Dubai beckons. There are several beautiful public beaches to try, including Al Mamzar Beach Park and Umm Suqeim Park Beach. © Vladimir Zhuravlev | Dreamstime.com
  • Paracas
    Lastly, enjoy a mostly undiscovered spot in Peru. Paracas features a dramatic desert landscape that bumps into the Pacific Ocean. Red Beach offers a secluded, photo-worthy time, while El Chaco combines beautiful surroundings with the convenience of nearby dining and shopping. © Kanokrat Tawokhat | Dreamstime.com
