A beach vacation in December is possible, but for this purpose you will have to go to remote and exotic countries.

Where can you go to rest on the sea in December?
In the first decade of the month, you can buy a tour to one of the famous resorts of Egypt - Hurghada or Sharm el-Sheikh (the daytime temperature is kept at around + 25˚C, but in the evening it is not so warm, and winds are not uncommon).
Thailand may be a good option at the end of the year - rely on Pattaya, Chang and Koh Samui (it rarely rains in the Gulf of Thailand at this time, and the water temperature is optimal for swimming).
India, in particular, Goa is a great option for those who do not know where to spend their December holidays - at the beginning of winter, the dry season comes into its own here. The weather (+ 30-32˚C) disposes not only to soak up the beaches, but also to go to spice plantations, crocodile and tortoise farms, and ride elephants.
If you are not afraid of short-term rainfall, often falling at night, head for the resorts of Sri Lanka. Short-term showers are typical for a destination such as the Seychelles, but in any case, at the end of December there is very warm weather, and the water temperature is ideal for water procedures.
Cheap accommodation in November-December can please Vietnam, famous for its sandy beaches - the best conditions for such a pastime during this period are observed in resorts located in the south of the country (air temperature + 25-27˚C). In addition to lazy lying in the sun, you can see monuments, temples and other city sights.
