MSN released their annual list of the 19 sexiest beaches in the world, and it's definitely a reason not to stay home this summer. Click here to see the list and get a few bits of info on each beach.

My personal pick? Since I live near South Beach, one of the 19 on the list, I'm going to have to go outside the US and pick Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. According to the MSN piece it's "the place to stay for Carnaval — the scene is much bigger (and wilder) than Rio's." Wilder than Rio? If that doesn't get you booking a flight immediately, then listen to what they say about the view: "slinky Bahian women with dark skin and green eyes drinking cold bottled beer in the umbrella-covered beach bars."
