A hidden gem!  The castle that will trap you at high tide.  The signs are telling you where to park so your car doesn't float away.  The castle itself is so full of history and charm, filled with hotels and markets at every corner.

Beautiful and very clean beaches.  They don't allow people to bring in their own water bottles and food as to keep the beach clean.  Seashells are not allowed to leave the beach, this I learned by wanting to take one with me.  Every experience is a learning curve.  Safe for families with children, the water is so warm.
Montañita, Ecuador

We just spent a week in Nungwi Beach Tanzania and loved it.  Its beautiful, loaded with lots to keep you busy.  We flew into Zanzibar not Dar Salem as it was easier for us.  Our hotel was very child friendly and the breakfast was different and amazing every morning.  They cook your eggs made to order!  My only dislike is the mandatory travel insurance they make you purchase on arrival at the airport, even if you already have travel insurance like we did.
