The reefs of Sharm el Sheikh in the Red Sea are a divers' paradise. Low rainfall and mild currents allow excellent visibility, in some places up to 150 feet. As one of the saltiest seas in the world, a large variety of endemic species can be found here.
6. Swimming - Varadero Beach, Cuba
Some VirtualTourist members called Varadero Beach the best beach in the Caribbean. With its sugary-white sandy beach, turquoise clear water, and warm water temperatures year round, it's easy to see why. The calm waters make swimming here a favorite pastime for all levels.
7. Sailing - British Virgin Islands
If you're looking to venture out in to the open waters by sailboat, then British Virgin Islands is for you. With 25 jaw-dropping islands in reach, checking out new land by boat has never been more fun. Consistent trade winds, long, sunny days and beautiful views make BVI a sailor's paradise.
8. Surfing - Inchydoney Island, County Cork, Ireland
County Cork has some of the most beautiful beaches in all of Ireland and the beach on Inchydoney Island is no exception. VirtualTourist members noted that the endless beach and reliable tides make this a perfect place to learn to surf.
9. Catch-and-release fishing - Glover's Reef Atoll, Belize
Glover's Reef Atoll considered the greatest range of reef type and is home to a variety of sea life including three species of sea turtles, eight species of sharks and rays and numerous species of coral. Fishing can be enjoyed year round, but because the area is now a Marine Preserve, it's catch and release only.
10. Canoeing - Pemba Island, Zanzibar
Pemba is a remote tropical island just off the East Coast of Africa. Pemba is most noted for its unique mangrove swamps. For a great sense of adventure, VirtualTourist members recommend hopping aboard a canoe and exploring what nature has to offer.
