God, I love summer. The chance to get out in the sun and to enjoy the beach. I love the feeling of the hot rays on my body and being able to throw myself in the ocean to cool off!
I have been lucky enough to travel around the world and during those travels, I have seen the most amazing beaches!
Tahiti would have to be a favourite. The water is so blue and the sand so white. It all seems very pristine. Lovely to be able to walk along the beach barefoot and not worry about standing in rubbish, cigarette buts, needles, bottles etc.
Yes, I agree, Australia has some wonderful beaches but unfortunately, the times I have gone to the beach I have been surrounded by rubbish! It's a disgrace. Don't people have any pride in their country? We are surrounded by so much beauty, yet people show no respect for it!
The ocean would be one of my favourite places in the world. I've dived, and seen amazing fish and coral. I've swum in beautiful waters, both freezing cold and balmy warm. I've baked myself to a crisp many times on white sand, on pebbles and also on black volcanic sand. Just don't wear your best swimsuit when swimming on volcanic beaches! (believe me when I say, it gets in everything)
Swimming in the Murray isn't quite the same, and I certainly would never swim in the Yarra!
Thank god for summer. Winter sucks!

Poo. My net crashed just as I posted a comment, so don't know if you got it. If not:
ReplyDeleteI feel un-Australian saying this but I don't really like the beach, at least in summer when it's hot. I'd like to like it, and I've tried to like but...I just can't. You make it sound so appealing. *sighs*
(I don't like winter either though)
Each to their own, but if you've only experienced Melbourne beaches, then you are really missing out! The only thing I don't like about beaches, is having sand in places sand should NEVER go!
