Visiting California is something that everyone should aim to do at some point in their lives. Known as the golden coast, this coastal region has much to offer. Whether you’re looking for a bit of sun, a refreshing beachside break, or some vacation time, you should definitely consider the Cali coast. 

On your next vacation, you may be wondering where to go,  but If you’re already sold on heading out west, with hundreds of miles of ocean shoreline, where should you visit? California is such a big state, and there are so many incredible locations dotted all down the coast, how will you decide?

Let us take a look at five really cool locations that will help your California dreams to come true.

Our first trip to Jamaica was on a Caribbean Cruise for our wedding anniversary which meant we only had one day in this enigmatic Country... but there was only one place I wanted to see – above everything else – it had to be Bob Marley’s home!  

We found a company that combined a tour of Bob Marley's birthplace at “Nine Mile” with Dunn’s River Falls – the latter being the No. 1 tourist attraction for a visit to Ocho Rios. The company we used no longer runs this as a tour but there are many companies who do and, due to the ever-changing tourist industry, I would advise you find one through reviews on Trip Advisor – that is how we found ours.

Out of the entire two-week cruise, Jamaica was the place I was most excited to visit! I had heard so much about the beautiful landscape and its people and I couldn’t wait to experience it for myself. 

It didn’t disappoint!

I have always been curious about nudist beaches...
​
Why do people do it? What does it feel like to have the breeze cool areas not usually on public display? Would I forget the wobbly bits and accept my body for what it is? We were born naked so would I feel comfortable being around others who were embracing that?

​A five minute walk down the beach from where we were sunbathing in Negril, Jamaica, was a Couples nudist beach and so the temptation to go was too strong…

From Gospel Church to Nudist beach – and everything in between.....

So what can I tell you about Jamaica that you don’t already know? I guess the first question would be “have you been there?”.  If you have, well you will already know about the lush green land; the inviting turquoise sea; the soft white sand lined with coconut palms; stunning sunsets; locally brewed rum used in just about everything; delicious jerk chicken served in abundance; reggae music played everywhere and last but by no means least ….. the people and what enigmatic characters they are!

If you haven’t been and you already know some of the above, I will tell you about our time here and the few adventures we had.
