    The best spot is here, in my country (which is Poland). The province called Warmia-Masuria, especially Masuria part - it is called "the land of a thousand lakes". I live in Ilawa, and there is the longest lake in Poland - Jeziorak. There is also my favourite beach, where I can dream, relax, sometimes create :) Simply the best place for me.

    I love Lindisfarne island in the coast in Northern England - great at any time of the year! The rugged landscape, castle and the boats turned upside-down to repurpose them as sheds - fantastic! Have a look here: (http://conferences.ncl.ac.uk/icird2004/lindisfarne2.jpg) x ammartini

  15. KatyMay 31, 2012 at 1:13 AM

    My favourite spot is the area around Padstow in Cornwall - you've got a group of several around the rocky coastline, all with soft sand, rockpools and nice waves, although I prefer Constantine and Treyarnon bays - they're separated by a lovely rocky headland and you can choose which beach you head down to. The headland is my favourite place ever to sit and sea-watch. You get the Atlantic crashing down on the rocks, and I can spend hours deep in thought watching the water.

    Welllll...Many years ago, my hubby was stationed in Hawaii with the Marine Corps and we lived there for about 14 months. Now you have to remember that we were young and pretty strapped for $$ so we didn't do the 'touristy' things. We also had a tiny baby but we did manage to get to the beach a couple of times and Hanauma Bay on Oahu was far and away the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. A natural coral reef formed three separate crystal clear pools, perfect for snorkeling and also protected from sharks coming in. Like I said it was years ago, so the crowds were not as bad as they would be now. Thanks so much for a chance in this fun giveaway Hugs...
    ***Note: Just a couple of weeks ago while my hubby was in Maryland visiting my Grandson, they ate at a "Lucy's Crab Shack" somewhere in their travels, LOL. True Story!!!

    On the east coast I love Wingaersheek beach North of Boston. It is private most of the year and you have to pay to go there ($25?). But if the weather is beautiful before the season opens it is free. There are huge pools where the water gets nice and warm. A huge expanse of sand. Nothing like all the crowded California counterparts, but if I pick a San Diego beach we always love la jolla shores...

    We have also been to Punta Cana, Dominican. It was beautiful, and less expensive, but crammed with people.

    After comparing the two we decided to save up again for Hawaii because although it costs more to travel there, we feel like it's worth it.

    I can say with no hesitation that I am not fond of beaches. I really try not to say I hate anything, but I do hate the feeling of sand on my feet, and my body does not like to be in direct sunlight for very long. That being said, I did enjoy my trip to Cape Hatteras (east coast, USA) immensely! Fortunately, we had a house on the beach with air conditioning. I don't get to vacation often, so it was a huge luxury!!!
