Polynesian Beach

One of my favorite places to visit on Disney property is the beach at the Polynesian resort. 

The beach offers a great view of the Magic Kingdom and Space Mountain. You can also see the train station overtop the trees.

 It is great to get a drink from the bar and a chair on the beach and just hang out. The beach was more fun when the sand went all the way to the water. Unfortunately, there was a terrible accident at a Disney resort involving an alligator attacking a small child. Today, there is a rope fence along the shore and warning signs telling people to stay away from the water.

The views from the beach are spectacular.

Every few minutes a boat comes to the Poly to dock and pick up passengers on their way to the Magic Kingdom or other resorts.

And, of course, this is a perfect location for watching the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Watching the fireworks from inside the Magic Kingdom is good because you can see the video projection on the castle, but it can be difficult to full appreciate the fireworks. From the Poly's beach, you can see the entire spectacular fireworks.

The next time you visit the Magic Kingdom, take some sun screen and bug spray and spend some time relaxing on the Polynesian beach!
