What is there to do with a week off from work in the middle of August? Go to the beach of course! While I’m currently living in the Boston area, I went to school in Baltimore, Maryland, and still have a lot of friends in the area. I decided to use my time off to visit some friends in B’more for the weekend, then hit the Delaware Beaches for a few days with a friend whose parents have a house near Rehoboth.
This wasn’t my first experience at the Delaware Beaches. The week before I graduated college, my classmates and

In fact, the Land of the Long White Cloud (Mãori: Aotearoa) boasts one of the longest coastlines in the world, spanning almost 11,000 miles. Generally divided into the North and South Island land masses and home to a diverse range of unique flora and fauna, the country lies between the turbulent Tasman Sea and the calmer Pacific Ocean, providing beach goers with contrasting and memorable options.

Hammamet, Tunisia
by T Akery July 20th, 2012 | Africa, Beach Travel
Hammamet is located in the country of Tunisia on the coast of Africa. The town holds a lot of history but has basically been ignored by the world except for the Spaniards, who invaded only once. Their attempt was unsuccessful. While the Spaniards did make it over the walls, a retreat call caused chaos. The leader of the attack was killed and another Spanish captain was sentenced to death for a refusal to follow orders. Despite this incident, the town has basically remained intact throughout its history. It is not its history that draws tourists, it is the beaches.

This might be why the locals usually have such places to themselves.
If you take the train, the beach that is closest to London is about one hour and 15 minutes away. Camber Sands, in the village of Camber, is East Sussex’s only sand dune system. Unlike other beaches that
