White sand recommendations

[Gunpowdertea]

Toying with a trip away, looking for white sands, out of this world snorkelling (I cant dive for health reasons), incredible wildlife, some hikes/maybe watersports, possibly interesting history or culture, enough to do for up to 2 weeks (happy to send at least 5 of those just on a beach), swimming pool a bonus. Caribbean appeals, open to suggestions on anywhere esp. for a single child free trip.

Ideas on flight prices appreciated too.

Cancun Mexico!! Lots of water snorkeling activity

Sri Lanka

Southern Islands of Japan

Marsa Alam in Egypt or if you want the best beaches and snorkelling head to the maldives (no other site seeing though)

Belize
Borneo
Indonesia - Lombok and Gili Islands, or lots of other more remote places with amazing snorkelling and wildlife
Thailand west coast islands

For Belize you would probably find it cheapest to fly to Cancun and travel south from there

Barbados, loads of places you can island hop to as well like St Lucia, st vince t & the grenadines (Bequia & Mustique) are beUtiful. Can go out to the Tobago keys from SVG as well.

Cape Town

The whitest, softest sand I ever walked on was in Kenya. Wildlife? How about s safari and beach holiday in Kenya?

Patara beach in Turkey is really off the beaten track. There’s hiking along the Lycian Way, ancient settlements to explore and it’s home to loggerhead turtles.

I love mexico - favourite place in the world, but the beaches round cancun aren’t as good as they used to be. They’ve got big problems with seaweed so ignore it’s white sands it might be worth looking at specific resorts and trying to get some recent pics

Yes I would somewhere on the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico say ticks a lot of those boxes.

I came to say Lombok too.
Climb Mt Rinjani, then pop over to the Gillis.
Gorgeous place.

Also Lauren Mahon on Instagram has just come back from a 'Flash Pack' (who seem to do trips for people in their 30s/40s from what I can see) trip to Zanzibar in Africa which also looked like it might be up your street?

Obvs hers was a paid partnership ad thing, but might be worth checking out?

Mexico was always at the bottom of our want to go to list until it was the only last minute holiday we could find with ‘good weather’. It was absolutely amazing, we loved it. There is so much to do and see. We swam with whale sharks, did lots of activities, visited Mayan temples, swam in cenotes. Would go back in a heartbeat. The beach was also gorgeous, white sand and lovely clear water.

Cuba, Antigua, Seychelles ( multi island trip) all have white sands and good/ great snorkelling then there's also Thailand ( Koh Samui/Koh Phangan/Koh Tao.....some areas have whiter sand than others mind you but fabulous culture, scenery and food!
Indonesia
