Three Great Vacation Places We Have Less Heard Of

Lord Howe Island, Australia

If you enjoy starfish, come to Lord Howe Island. Don't miss those starfish in the tide pools near the lagoon. You'll also enjoy hand-fed fishes at the lovely and secluded Neds Beach. Wherever you go, you're not going to get lost as there's just one main street and only 18 small-scale hotels such as the 19-room bungalow-style Leanda Lei Apartments. Perfect for honeymooners and busy people who needs the ambiance of white sand, cool blue sky and serene ocean green to relax.  http://www.lordhoweisland.info/

Keahiakawelo, Lanai, Hawaii

Hawaii! Perhaps you really have heard a place like it. You will be amazed with how the wind actually rolls the rocks around, or something like that. Being in Hawaii is already great, but a day or two at Keahiakawelo will certainly decamp to the beach. It's interesting to visit with Kepa Maly. The executive director of the Lanai Culture & Heritage Center says "He makes the trip worth it." We better believe him, he knows all the stories.

Doe Bay, Washington

The small inlet on the Pacific Ocean is home to an unassuming resort of the same name. Doe Bay isn't a design spot. You're not going there to get pampered. There's nothing pretentious about it-and that's exactly what makes it great. Doe Bay's reception building looks like an old general store-albeit one festooned with colorful flags-and beyond that there's a small clutch of yurts, campsites, and old-fashioned cabins sprinkled through the woods and along the shore.

Simply an old-fashioned bay in an old-fashioned county that's more than a million times worth a try. http://www.doebay.com/
