Caribbean Sports Vacation: SWOOP x GObeachfest in Turks & Caicos

What happens when SWOOP Magazine and Beachfest Events team up in paradise? You get GObeachfest—a high-energy, all-inclusive Caribbean sports vacation that brings SoCal vibes to the white sands of Turks & Caicos.

In November 2009, nearly 600 guests, including pro athletes, celebrities, and adventurers from around the world, joined together at Club Med for an unforgettable week of movement, connection, and celebration.

Why This Caribbean Sports Vacation Was Like No Other

By day, it was a beachside bootcamp of epic proportions—with everything from beach volleyball to yoga, tennis, windsurfing, and more. Guests enjoyed daily programs like:

• 🏐 Beach volleyball with the pros

• 🧘 Sunset yoga & Pilates on the pier

• 🏋️‍♀️ Fitness sessions with Kim Lyons (The Biggest Loser) & Gunter Schlierkamp (Mr. Universe)

• 🥋 Martial arts & tai chi with Sifu Dennis Smith

• 🎾 National cardio tennis

• 🌊 High-flying kiteboarding with Francisco Escudero

  
  

And when the sun dipped below the ocean? The party began.

Nightlife That Completes the Caribbean Sports Vacation Experience

Every evening brought something new—from Monday Night Football and trapeze shows to theme parties like:

• 🤍 The White Party

• 🎭 Masquerade Ball

• 🎶 Reggae Beach Bash

• 🍴 Off-site excursions to Da Conch Shack

• 💃 SWOOP’s own runway fashion show featuring pro athletes, models, and influencers

  
  

With AVP and LA Clippers DJ Roueche on the decks and an open bar flowing, the vibe was unforgettable.
