Where is the best sea view?

... How many other views can compete with that? “Where every prospect pleases….” “….and only man is vile.” Having mentioned Sri Lanka, I am reminded of these misanthropic words, which were penned by a certain Bishop Huber, a missionary in Ceylon, about his diocese. When it was pointed ... Read review

Besides the sea

Advantages: "We joined the navy to see the world…."
Disadvantages: "And what did we see? We saw the sea." (Irving Berlin)

...that region, gazing down to where jagged headlands and islets thrust up through the Tyrrhenian waves. When the sea is at peace and the waves are stilled, the water becomes almost luminous, the colour of the rock beneath seeming to amplify its limpid blue.

Limestone is a rather good material for this kind of shorescape, combining light-reflective colouring with a soluble tendency to let the sea shape it into hollows, blow-holes and ...
...Malta; on the Dalmatian coast, where the mountains rear up to overshadow the Adriatic; in the Calanques inlets south of Marseille; and on the Crimean coast of the Black Sea. “Blue caves” and “blue grottos” abound in such places, providing local boatmen with employment carrying tourists out to marvel at them. The sea is too rough for outings of this kind at Punakaiki on the wild west coast of New Zealand’s South Island, and the limestone there is ... more

Review of Where is the best sea view?

my favourate view The Island Newquay

Advantages: Stunning location
Disadvantages: Hilly area if you have walking disabilities

...very dark hole of depression where I had no interest in anything and I could not see any way out . My husband and I had never had a proper holiday and we decided a good break might be just what we needed to help get over the trauma of the last few months so decided to go to Newquay in Cornwall for a week. We travelled with National buses on a package trip and although the journey was extremely long (10 hours) when we eventually got to our destination ...
...was a long grassed area where people of all ages were eating icecreams sun bathing and just generally chilling out but beyond that was a huge rock jutting out of the sea bed with a solitary house nestled snugly on top of it. This was The Island. The Island is connected to the mainland by a suspension bridge and the house on it is owned by Lord and Lady Long. I wouldn't fancy the idea of walking along that bridge on a cold windy day as i'm terrified ...

As the sun sets... Porthtowan Beach, Cornwall

Advantages: Watch the sun go down with a beer
Disadvantages: None watsoever.

...to be from Porthtowan beach where there is a fantastic beachside bar/restaurant where you can sit outside and watch the sun go down. You're very lucky to see a full sunset in Cornwall as the Atlantic sea can bring in cloud and mist as the day draws in, but i have been priviledged to have seen three there in the last two years. The clear skies play host to a beautiful orange and red glow over the soft sands as the last surfers of the day soak up the ...

Crackington Haven = Haven

Advantages: Lovely beach, view and walk
Disadvantages: None

...sea. You can also see where the side of a part of a cliff on the other side of the beach has started to erode away, and you can notice the lines in the rock. The wind blowing on you whilst your standing up there makes you feel amazing, but be careful! My dog also loves the Cliffside walk, finding every bramble/prickly bush to go in and always looking out for wildlife. Last time I was there we also spotted two wild deer walking along the cliff, which ...
...beach are remains of a wartime ship which is quite interesting to look at. Overall this beach on a lovely sunny day is just perfect, with an ice-cream from the local cafe it's an ideal day out for everyone. The sea looks gorgeous in the sun as it turns a nice turquoise colour, looking like some exotic beach you'd expect to find on holiday! But catching it on a bad day you wouldn't be impressed. ...
