Canada has no beaches where coconuts can be grown with winter water temps over 20C. To me those 2 criteria make a good quality beach and it doesn't exist anywhere in Canada.
Most of the USA too...only south Florida has cocos
They may not have coconut palms but Saskatchewan's and Alberta's beaches are quite picturesque. They feature activities not possible in the tropics such as seal hunting and whale watching.
Exactly! Nothing better than lounging at the beach and doing a bit seal hunting and whale watching,
trying doing that Jamaica, man....not possible! Canada’s beaches are the best, where else can you get
sunburnt and frost bitten on the same day....?
And somewhere the temperature measured by standard technique reaches 27°C will have the actual swimming temperature in places much higher still. That's why going on about pockets of warm water is meaningless. What matters when comparing different locations is what the temperature is when measured under standard conditions.
It's not really about how warm summer places can get even warmer, but about how cool summer places aren't always as cold and uninviting as some would imagine.
Beach culture isn't something confined to warm summer countries.
Not sure about “rest of the world” ....UK has better beaches and better summer climate than
Canada?.....I doubt that ...most UK beaches tend to be stoney, not sandy, and their average summer
highs can’t match places in Canada....ditto for Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, even Germany
not so fantastic. So...as they say, beware of absolutes....Canada is worse some other countries ..yes,
many other countries ...again yes....worse than the rest of the world.....NO!
I said compare Canada to the rest of the world, not to scour the Earth for the one or two places that might possibly have worse beaches.
Hawaii is a state, how does it not count? Alaska is also a state and has better mountains than Canada.
Hawaii to me is more foreign than American and the natives despise us for stealing their island illegally. Alaska way too cold to hike and enjoy those mountains. And we legally obtained Alaska not Hawaii. And Alaska not so foreign at all.
Canada’s focus is on their mountains rightfully. Their beaches are forgettable imo. I don’t know if anyone that goes to Canada for a beach vacation but people do for Cape Cod for example.
