Top Beaches Part 2

Hossegor, France

Many who travel far and wide often say the most beautiful beach they have ever found is in Europe,in the south west of France. A small town called Hossegor, about 20km north of Biarritz - no palm trees, no crowds, justkilomneters and kilometers of heartwarming golden sand. The summer seems to last for six months of the year, so the beaches are well used by both locals and holiday makers, but with hundreds of kilometers of uninterrupted sand there its never going to suffer from overcrowding.

Porthtowan, Cornwall, United Kingdom

Porthtowan is a great beach because it lets you do so much. You can swim there, sunbathe, play with my family on the sands, surf, work and just chill out and relax. Its quite possible to surf with dolphins you can regularly see basking sharks passing by. Porthtowan seems to change daily and there's always something new going on.

Sifah beach, Oman

The locals are certainly spoilt for choice when it came to lovely beaches. They'll spend their weekends driving through the mountains to get to their favourite beach, Sifah. Not only is this one of the most beautiful you wil ever see
but also one of the hardest to get to. With no real roads in place, a four-wheel drive is a must if you are travelling from the capital. When you get there you can take a traditional fishing boat around to one of the little coves off the main area and have your very own private beach complete with white sands and clear blue water.

Punta Lobos, southern Chile

This is a dramatic beach with a definite feeling of having a special energy. Its a long stretch of black sand that ends in a rocky cliff with two enormous rocks in the middle of the ocean that the locals call "Las Tetas". With a mix of foreboding and peacefulness about it its a place that can kill you if you get the surf wrong and yet at the same time it can give you the greatest happiness imaginale. It is both a sanctuary and a place of great energy, where you realise what happens when the force of the Pacific Ocean meets the solidity land.

Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island

Seven Mile Beach has got everything a great beach needs with a long drift of white coral sand that stretches endlessly towards the horizon, palm trees and clear water that ranges in colour from aquamarine through every shade of blue and ending in a deep indigo line at the reef. There's plenty of watersports available, but there are also peaceful spots where you can curl up with your book and nothing but the sound of the waves gently breaking is all that will disturb you. It also has  some of the best diving in the world right off the beach.
