Here's a spreadsheet of every nonstop ('direct') flight from Calgary to somewhere with a beach, sorted by the number of hours to fly there

November
I've created a spreadsheet that lists every nonstop ('direct') flight from Calgary to somewhere with a beach, sorted by the number of hours it takes to fly there.
The spreadsheet also lists the airlines and the days of the week you can find the direct flights on each airline. It is focused on flights that operate in the late fall and winter.
And yes, there is a difference between a non-stop flight and direct flight. But pretty much everyone, outside of the travel industry, uses the word 'direct' to mean a flight with zero stops.
In the same spreadsheet you can also find the same info for all other major cities in Canada, which might help with planning trips alongside friends or family members in different cities.
The Spreadsheet

NOTE:
Depending on your browser, Google Sheets may start you off in the wrong worksheet (All Cities). You may need to click on Calgary (YYC) at the top or bottom of the spreadsheet. Use the little arrows to scroll.
You should see a list of different Canadian cities to choose from at the top or bottom of the spreadsheet. Use the little arrows to scroll.
Make sure you are looking at the correct origin city.
You can also find a worksheet named 'ALL CITIES' at the bottom, on the very left hand side (you may need to scroll).
Things It Might Be Useful For
• If you live in the Calgary area there are 24 destinations with a beach that you can reach with a direct flight. Meanwhile someone living in Winnipeg or Halifax has about 12 such options. At the other end of the spectrum, Toronto has over 60.
So if you're looking to coordinate a beach vacation with a friend or family member that lives somewhere else in Canada you may want to start by looking at the available destinations from the city with the least number of options.
Or, those same friends and family may be able to find a connecting flight through Calgary or Vancouver (if they live in Western Canada) or through Toronto or Montreal (if they live in Eastern Canada).
Tell them to try searching from their city using the same days of the week that the airlines fly from those major hub cities. This will give them the best chance of finding a 1-stop flight through Canada.
• If you're looking into package deals, such as all inclusive packages, those packages will have direct flights on the same days shown in this spreadsheet.
For example, if WestJet has direct flights on Thursdays, you'll be able to find an all inclusive package with WestJet Vacations on a Thursday that also has direct flights.
The same goes for Air Canada / Air Canada Vacations. And Sunwing / Sunwing Vacations.

Calgary direct to Kona with WJ on Sundays? I checked the WJ website and it looks to me like that doesn't start until December 18?
Hi Norman,
Yes, that is correct. To clarify, this is a list of all nonstop flights to a beach that are scheduled for the upcoming winter season. I'll add that info to the Notes column.
Thanks for adding the start dates to the notes. That's very helpful info.
Looking for YYC to Montego Bay and the websites show direct flights only on Monday (looking in Jan/Feb). Possibly an update?
Hi Marley, thanks for letting me know, it does look like Sunwing has moved their flights from Calgary to Montego Bay to Mondays. WestJet's flights are still scheduled for Saturdays.
