"After four years spent together, we finally managed to organize a trip to Cherating which is a famous getaway. We chose Cherating as it is famous for its white sand, beautiful beach and clean water. The three-day holiday at the popular beach has been planned months before we set our feet on the beach. We were thrilled that it was finally happened."

something wrong with this paragraph, could anyone comment on this?

i've been using the word "beach" for 3 times in this paragraph, any idea of a word that i can use for a substitute.

You can eliminate one of the "beach"es by a bit change in the word order: The three-day holiday at the popular beach has been planned months before we set our feet on the popular beach. I think your paragraph is ok, but it's better to see what's the natives' take on it.

Hi,

. . . before we set our feet on the beach.

The common idiom is . . . before we set foot on the beach.
