Beautiful beaches where you can mingle with wildlife. Places where flamingos, horses and pigs are enjoying the soft sands and blue waters right alongside people.
Flamingo Beach on Aruba:
Renaissance Island in Aruba has two beaches, Iguana Beach for families
and Flamingo Beach for adults.
Flamingo beach wins the prize for
wildlife! There you can mingle with a group of
flamingos walking the shoreline, drinking
seawater and searching for food. Normally,
flamingos migrate from July to March, but
this one island seems to be the exception, since
flamingos
are seen all year round. With their stilt-like legs and bright pink
feathers contrasting against the bright turquoise of the Caribbean Sea,
they make for a striking sight.
Wild Horses on Assateague Island in Maryland and Virginia:
On this beautiful strip of land, located off the coast of Maryland and
Virginia, you get to hang out with
wild horses. According to local legend,
the group of wild horses (300 approx.) are
descendants of a Spanish galleon that shipwrecked along the coast,
others claimed that they were descendants of local colonial horses that
got loose.
Pigs Beach Exuma, Bahamas:
Pigs beach, located on Big Major Cay, an
unin habited island and popular anchorage in Exuma, is home to many wild
pigs that are very good swimmers. In fact,
the swimming pigs have become the most
famous attraction in the area. They swim right alongside people; they
even swim up to the boats that anchor, hopping to get some food scraps
and treats. How did the pigs get to this
remote island? Local legends say that the
pigs were the lone survivors of a
shipwreck that happened a hundred years ago or so. It is said that as
the ship sunk down, these buoyant little buggers, who were supposed to
be breakfast for sailors, were instead able to float up and away from
the wreckage and swim to the nearby shores.
