Where to go for a beach holiday in February

[Sugar Ray]

Anyone recommend a nice place to go for a beach holiday in February - we have a 4 month old baby - thinking of Eygpt as I like snorkling

I would suggest going to one of the Canary Islands - the weather should be lovely at this time of year, around 73 degrees so perfect for a 4 month old. Gran Canaria would be very apt, there are lots of resorts to chose from and golden sand not volcanic. There is a tourist submarine over in Puerto Mogan which is good fun as you obviously like fish! Lovely Island and very pretty too - you'll have a great time!

We went to Sharm-el Sheikh (sp?!) It was really nice and the hotel facilities were faultless. Stay in one of the resorts out on the sea rather than near the town of Sharm (they are much more secure). The hotel will probably run free shuttle buses to the town if you do want to go for a browse in the markets, and the main excursions will all pick up from hotels as well. From the hotel you can go straight outside to go snorkelling etc on the private beach and the heat isnt oppressive because of the lovely gentle breeze from the sea. I'd definitely go again!

Try Aqaba in Jordan. Lots to see and do and security is high. I've been to the Red Sea and Jordan and prefer Jordan. There is an excellent reef to snorkel at the Royal Jordanian Dive Club. The reef is very close to the shore so a boat isn't needed, you can just do it yourself.

When it comes to snorkeling Australia is the place to go, I'm just not sure of the weather condition during February there http://www.tastydestination.com/
