Travel During the Pandemic: The Safest Vacation Ideas

4. Private islands

Nowadays, privacy translates to safety. Travel blogger Michael Moebes of Dadcation flew to Little Raccoon Key in Georgia and said that “it was the first day in months that we had no plans or obligations; we just explored the island and its beaches, read books and enjoyed one another’s company somewhere besides our house and yard in Atlanta.”

Moebes also added that “it would have been a nice break from normalcy at any time, but it was especially welcomed during a time when ‘normalcy’ has meant deprivation from the activities we typically enjoy as a family.” Also, if you think that renting a private island is way too expensive, check out our list of affordable private islands:
