I have two months to spare in June/July... where are the best beaches outside of Europe on a budget?

Question

Travelling from the UK so the Figi is kind of out of the question as the fare is a bit beyond budget... is Indonesia or S.E. Asia any good at this time if year? Or anywhere else? I have about $1k a month max... so hoping to backpack

Answer 1

The western coast of the US, has great beaches that are for surfing. Beware of a major culture-shock though.

Answer 2

Bali is great on a budget, and weather will be great.

Thailand also great

Answer 3

how about Greece? Or Sardinia in italy? or even Croatia?

Those are awesome places...

EDIT: sorry.. you said outside... well, then Phuket its awesome. I had a thousand bucks and lived like a QUEEN!!!
