It’s true that England has some “beaches” and there are advantages to having a pebble beach, but for all my English friends, this is what I’m talking about when I mean a “beach”…
Above is a picture of part of (the admittedly touristy) Surfers Paradise beach in *winter* on the Gold Coast. It’s very enjoyable and most definitely worthwhile dealing with the aftermanth of all that sand.
Now THAT’S what I call a beach! Beautiful sand, waves, heaps of space for yourself… it’s got it all. Ahhh… we should all move back to the Gold Coast!
