| Morocco to shift tourist focus away from the beaches | | 2008-07-27 21:32:00 | | There seems to be a change afoot in the Vision 2010 tourist plan as Morocco hopes to bolster its tourism industry by encouraging visits not only to beaches, but also to rural mountainous and desert destinations such as Chefchaouen, Ifrane and Ouarzazate. Morocco's tourism industry is undergoing significant change as part of its 'Vision 2010' initiative to attract 10 million visitors by 2010.

| Spanish Beaches | | 2008-02-04 12:02:07 | | The main attraction in Spain is its Beaches - this is what the most people come for. The main tourist areas are on the southern and eastern coast but places may be crowded in high season. More secluded and quiet beaches can be found on the island but expect a difficult route and minimal parking. A must visit is Es Trenc, near the Colonia de Sant Jordi, but there are also many beaches not that popular worth a visit.

| North Beaches | | 2008-01-03 23:55:00 | | By taking a tour or Beach Safari of the northern beaches of Phuket you will certainly be leaving the crowds behind. The north part of the island is less developed and gets only a tiny fraction of the visitors to Phuket. Many of those waiting to be loaded like cattle on to a boat and shipped off to Phi-Phi Island or one of the other tourist Islands seeking a remote island experience would be well advised to keep their feet dry, and drive for an hour to the north end of Phuket. Miles of unspoiled beaches, and good food await you. The rugged beauty of the northern beaches can only be enhanced by the feeling of having them all to yourself.As you travel north you will encounter beaches dominated with casuarina pine trees rather than palm trees. These unusual trees are like a natural beach umbrella and offer cool shade from the blistering tropical sun, and a if you listen carefully they make slight singing sound as they sway to the call of the offshore breezes. Expect a quiet enchanting experience if you break away from the herd and visit the north end of the island. ... | | By: Phuket holidays | | |

| PHUKET BEACHES | | 2008-01-01 15:15:00 | | To enjoy a panoramic view of Kata Noi, Kata and Karon beaches, there is a vantage point on the beach route between Nai Han and Kata Noi beaches.Rawai BeachLocated to the south of the island, Rawai is the first beach that brought fame to Phuket Island. The coconut-fringed route from the Chalong Intersection to Rawai is one of the most beautiful roads in Phuket. It is a good beach area where sea-people reside and where several restaurants provide different styles of delicious foods, especially seafood, shell handicraft shops, and both fishing and charter boats.Naihan BeachNaihan is a place for those who love peace and quiet. Its most picturesque landscape can be seen on the way from the north of Phromthep Cape down to the beach. It has a large freshwater behind it that flows into the sea at the southern end and some good snorkeling at the northern end. It's not a place to hire a jet ski or expect a lot of action. Just yachts bobbing in the bay, vendors selling ice cream and drinks and a fine sandy beach. Great for swimming from November to April, but it is not advisable to go for a swim here during the monsoon season (from May to October).Kata BeachKata Beach is many people's favourite beach in Phuket. Stunningly beautiful with surfing from May to October, from November to April surfing is replaced by snorkeling and sunbathing and other watersports. The beach is palm lined and fairly busy but never too crowded to be annoying.In the high season, yachts moor just offshore, adding to the ambience and the sunsets here are some of the best in Thailand. Restaurant lined or tree lined, there's a perfect spot for everyone at Kata.Karon BeachKaron is one of Phuket's longer beaches, very popular due to its fine white sand. Being so long the sunbeds are well spaced out so it never feels crowded. Just across a low hill to the north of Kata, the long white beach of Karon stretches magnificently with pines and palms standing tall over the rolling sand-dunes providing a unique s... | | By: The Best Of Asia | | |

| Hawaii, the best beaches are free | | 2007-07-07 21:54:00 | | Gotcha with that headline, didn’t I? I admit, it’s kind of a trick, because every beach in Hawaii is free. By law, not even the exclusive 5-star resorts of South Maui or scattered along Kona’s Gold Coast on the Big Island can prevent public access to their beaches. Of course, some resorts do what they can to restrict access, for example, by limiting the number of public parking spaces near the beach. But don’t be fooled: you’re free to stroll, swim or surf just about anywhere along Hawaii’s 750 miles of coastline.

Hidden away among stands of old cork oaks beyond the blue and white main gate a very special country retreat awaits.The guestrooms of Verdemar are spread around the outbuildings but the focus is the main farmhouse and dining room.The atmosphere is easy and cosy ; a wooden beamed ceiling, an open kitchen and bar, Nuno's paintings, wooden stools and chairs. You’ll share fun and good food around one big table- al fresco in summer .Nuno, a professional chef for 20 years in Amsterdam, loves to share your company as he prepares dinner and exchange a recipe or two.Leading off the kitchen, the lounge, equally cosy with guitar, paintings, an old lamp; a cool place to escape summer heat.And it is heartening to find somewhere so ready to welcome families; young children will meet ducks, chickens, donkeys, cows and sheep and can have a high tea.Bedrooms are just right: no hotel extras but nothing lackin... | | By: Special Holiday Homes | | |
