  • Aruba’s Eagle Beach
    Aruba’s Eagle Beach provides pristine scenery and privacy. The average temperature in December is 87 degrees and, with a low risk of hurricanes, you’ll never need to worry about a surprise storm canceling your vacation. © David Smith | Dreamstime.com
  • Brazil
    Not far away, temperatures in Brazil begin to heat up in November and December. Hit the beach in Rio de Janiero. Ipanema is a regular favorite, with expansive space, jaw-dropping views and easy access to shopping and dining. © Papabravo | Dreamstime.com
  • San Diego
    If you dream of walking along the beach in relative comfort, but would prefer to leave the bikini home, San Diego is suitable. The moderate winter temperatures allow for fun while keeping the denser crowds away. Coronado Beach is a smart pick. © Gloria Moeller | Dreamstime.com
  • Belize
    For a more remote experience with little to no hustle and bustle around the holidays, Belize fits the bill. Try Ambergis Caye for miles of white sand and a supremely laid-back lifestyle. © Stephanie Schoniger | Dreamstime.com

    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
