South Beach

spectacular views that caught one’s eye. This is one place where I could just sit forever, with stretches of powder- white sands on Nassau Paradise Island- with an average water temperature of 80 degrees that everyone would enjoy a fantastic white sandy beach adventure every day. With their array of luxury boutiques, local shops and world-famous straw market- not to mention duty free prices-on one hand and on the other they can get pretty expensive at their retail finest. The Bahamas restaurants…

I love swimming my heart out at their gigantic water park and lovely beach. Whenever I relax at the beach I always find new unique shells to add to my collection. I also have many photos from this place, but a photo can only capture so much. This is why I love to bring back little reminders of the happy times I spent here so I can cherish…

the 101 of those 10,000 who died serving in World War I. The Natatorium serves to remind the Hawaiian residents of the courage, bravery, and sacrifice that these soldiers made for their country. The Natatorium War Memorial sits on the edge of the beach with a substantial entrance into a large 100 by 40-meter ocean swimming pool with bleachers. The ocean swimming pool represents a “living memorial” to the Hawaii residents and symbolizes a life surrounded by water. The ocean is symbolic of the…

students to one teacher. The good news for parents is that there is a high rate of kids who graduate from high school to attend one of the nearby colleges. There is an ITT Technical Institute in Tampa as well as Tampa University, the University of South Florida, and more. Some young adults may also choose to attend the University of Florida, which is located in Gainesville, FL. It is less than two hours away from…

It is minutes later now and we are trudging down an overgrown trail, tactfully descending the deep slopes of New Mexican land. Everything smells strongly of mud and salt and soaked manure from the horse barn down the road. I almost trip over a weed, but my father steadies me and says, “Almost there, baby.” The arroyo is different than I have ever seen it. It is scattered with long, silver puddles. In the pink glow of the rising sun, the sand looks shiny and slippery. Around us, green tufts of…

tunnel to Katsouni and the Lighthouse. For those that summer holidays are combined mainly with lying on beaches, well Leros has some beautiful beaches too! The beach Vromolithos just before the Panteli is a classic choice, like Alinta and Dio Liskaria. On the west coast, you have to visit the bay of Gourna where you will find a sandy beach with trees and tavern, an absolute typical Greek picture. Once you get up there, don’t forget to visit the picturesque church of St. Isidoros, which is built…

setting sun could be seen above the dark and seemingly bottomless aphotic ocean. The light from the sun sent a sharp line down the calm ocean waters making the sandy beach gleam with the radiance of its color. The unmoving ocean acquired small ripples that soon turned to folding waves. The white froth washed ashore to the sandy beach, leaving only the foam outline of the waves behind as a remembrance of where the last wave once was. Two palm trees, connected to a common base, reclined to one…

What’s Happening in the Galapagos in April April is an extraordinary month to visit the Galapagos Islands as the conditions conspire to make the journey a trip to remember. The islands that we visit on our safari holidays are in bloom with activity. Turtle and iguana eggs are hatching, wild flowers are starting to blossom, and waved albatrosses are returning from sea in droves to mate. As the rains ease off, the sea is calm and clear; clearing the path for fun days surfing, snorkeling, and…

Introduction For my self guided field trip i originally chose Belmar beach in New Jersey, but with my chaotic school schedule and work schedule i had to travel locally. Instead I chose to take a day trip to Ocean City, Maryland. I lived in Ocean City, Maryland the summer prior so I had knowledge of the fun little beach town. (www.oceancity.com) My schedule consists of academic work Sunday through Thursday and working Thursday night through Saturday. Usually i work Saturdays but out of luck i…

a kubo, which is a small cottage, and the beach few miles further, it was absolutely stunning. We all went inside and unpacked our luggages. We headed out to eat and found an amazing restaurant where they served the most delicious and mouth-watering dishes. That night, we decided to take a stroll on the beach. I watched the waves softly crash against the rocks and smiled at the sound the waves were…
