Sun, 7 Jun 2009 10:46:35 PDT   A very popular beach, and deservedly so, since a small reef (created not by coral, but by sand-eating worms!) about 100 feet offshore creates a lagoon of shallow warmer water, perfect for swimming. Behind the beach there is a wooden boardwalk, which leads to the nearby dune and river trails.Also worth a visit is the nearby Elliot museum, set-up in the early 1900s. Favorites at the museum include a 1920s dining room, an old-time country store, and a large... ]]> http://www.100besteverything.com/best-beaches/CoronadoBeachCalifornia.html 100besteverything100267 Coronado Beach is a glorious stretch of sand on the Pacific coastline of the barrier island centered in San Diego bay.

It"s quite a hike from the parking lot to the beach, and be prepared to wade knee deep across the Big Sur river. The combination of pebbly river bed, soft city feet, and icy waters is guaranteed to bring tears to your eyes.

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 05:02:39 PDT   Torrey Pines Beach forms part of the Torrey Pines State reserve which is located between La Jolla and Del Mar.

Mon, 5 Jan 2009 06:52:51 PDT   For the most part Point Dume State Beach consists of wide and flat expanses of beach, overlooked by expensive properties. Luckily, for the most part, these real-estate eyesores are not visible from the sands. The northern end of the beach runs into Zuma beach - making an almost 2 mile continuous stretch of sand. At the southern end of the beach, the cliffs rise up culminating in the impressive Point Dume.

Thu, 18 Dec 2008 10:28:49 PDT   Two beaches make up Makena State Park, Big Beach and Little Beach. The beaches are separated by a lava headland - a short path crosses this, making it fairly easy to walk from one to the other. Immediately behind the beaches lies Pu"u Ola"i (translated Earthquake Hill), made by the last known volcanic activity in Maui (back in 1790). Eyewitnesses reported that fountains of glowing red and orange lava gushed into the sky, falling back to earth to form the 360 foot cone.... ]]> http://www.100besteverything.com/100-best-beaches.php 100besteverything100190 THE List Of Best Beaches including many of your favorites like "Panama City Beach, Florida", "Hanauma Bay, Oahu", "Kee Beach, Kauai", "La Jolla Cove, California", "Fort De Soto, Florida", "Green Sand Beach, Hawaii" and more.

If you haven"t tried kite surfing before, sign up for a beginner"s course. The reliable, but not normaly too strong trade winds, and warm temperature make the beach an ideal spot to learn - but put on plenty of sunscreen.

The water quality might not be so amazing now (apparently it"s deteriorated slightly due to global warming), but the waters are still crystal clear with a deep blue color that no camera can catch.
