In search of quiet and peaceful beach town for August. Must be in North or South America (due to timezones) and a place where I can walk to the beach without spending $2,000/month on rent. Preferably not Mexico ONLY because I'm trying to go someplace new (I love Mexico though). Just need to settle down someplace calm so I can focus on writing my book. Thoughts?
Pic of Dahab, Egypt. I'd stay longer but the timezones are making it hard for me to focus at work.

Roatán in Honduras would be a good choice for you. Beautiful beaches, with some activities or completely alone, it's your choice. Rentals are in any budget, from very low for basic stuff to quite luxurious. International airport on Roatán and there are also different islands around if you would like a change of scenery. Unlike the Honduran mainland, the islands are a lot safer.
