I would have thought a lot of the British Isles would look like that on a sunny day. Clear waters and white sandy beaches, aren't solely the domain of the tropics/subtropics.

Just look at the beaches of Wilsons Promontory in Victoria and parts of Tassie and Flinders Island. Looks like something out of a Queensland travel brochure.

I agree. I have been really interested in visiting Maine one of these summers. About an 8 hour car ride from Philly. People from my area are starting to go up there for summer trips to escape our heat.

Acadia National Park is one of the most beautiful in the US set right on the coast of Maine:






Surf temps here get up to around 63F in August. In 2009 water here hit 70F.

Nice. Similar to the water colour just north of here. It's hard to imagine the snow and ice that beach would get during winter. Is the surf temp measured just off the beach, or further out? 63F seems quite cool, given how warm it is down your way.

That post was a exaggeration but i do prefer coldwaves to heatwaves eventhough i'm black!
But i think images like that belong in the tropics and subtropics or at least not so far north.
