Happy feet, soaked in the sand at Paradise beach. I told you so! These words I heard here over and over again! I reached my hotel to check out and decided to stay at Auro Ville. I had heard so much about the place and wanted to check it out. But I reached late in the evening and I was told that the Matrimandir shuts early. I found a basic shack and a home stay to stay owned by Senthil, a guy in his late 20s. He and his grandmother were my host. He told me this was not a luxurious place, but…

panhandle of Florida in an area known as The Forgotten Coast called Mexico Beach. I have gone there every summer, staying for at least a week, since I was four years old. It is a place of tradition for my family because my mother vacationed there for the first time when she was four years old, too. I have come to love this place, not because it’s some epic fantasy vacation, but more because of what it represents to me. Mexico Beach is a place where each summer, for more than half of my life, I…

You can see why the brand is a recognizable one in Myrtle Beach (and on many other popular beaches), along seas, gulfs, and around ports all across the globe. A type of sail called a…

Erosion is the geological process in which Earth's surface is worn down by natural forces like running water, wind, glaciers and waves. Erosion is a key factor in the formation of beaches because erosion moves sediment (sand) from one location to another. There are three major types of coastal erosion; hydraulic action, corrosion and corrosion. Hydraulic action is when waves crashing against a headland causes erosion. Waves enter cracks in the rock and air is compressed into the crack by the…

I remember when my mom would sit me down on a little beach blanket near her while she talked to all of her friends. The rest of my friends loved sitting and cuddling with their moms but I loved to run around. As all of my friends sat and or slept I got up and hobbled away. My mother always reminds me that…

sunsets over the Gulf of Mexico, creating breathtaking scenes as uniquely incredible as the beaches along its shoreline. Each beach has its own identity and appeal, attracting people from both near and far. There are more than a dozen beaches in this area and some are more popular than others. Let’s look at what makes some of St. Petersburg beaches so special. Clearwater Beach is one of the top ranking beaches in Florida and is known for its gorgeous white quartz sand and sparkling waters. It’s…

We stop going to Myrtle beach and finally decided to pick a new vacation spot with just a few family members. Although we had fun with a family reunion at myrtle beach, will it be even more fun with just a few family members at Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Our first advantage for picking Ft. Lauderdale instead of going to myrtle beach is…
