While the #1 passion of our editorial staff at www.familyskitrips.com is obviously skiing, there are occasions when a trip with sun, sea and sand is irresistible.

Trade in your goggles and ski poles for a snorkel and fins, as we scope out fabulous locales where surf meets satiny sand beaches.

No frostbite on these adventures, as we explore warm and wonderful destinations for families, and also for that special romantic spot.
