Single Woman's Churchyard (England)

The Cross Bones Graveyard is an unusual cemetery located in the United Kingdom. It is a post-medieval disused burial ground in London, England. Originally, this graveyard was established as an unconsecrated graveyard for ‘single women,' a euphemism for prostitutes and was known as the ‘Single Woman's Churchyard'. It had become a pauper's cemetery in 1769. It is believed that more than 15,000 people have been buried there.

World’s most famous beachside city Miami

No.1 Miami, USA

Body of water the city borders: Atlantic Ocean
Population: 5,590,000
Average temperature in the winter: 68°F
Average temperature in the summer: 82°F
Arguably the world’s most famous beachside city, Miami is where the world’s jet-set come to top up their tans, fill up on cocktails and dance until the early hours with the rich and famous. Aside from being a tourism hub for its beaches, Miami’s beachside location also enables it to reap valuable trade for the rich city, with Miami Port being one of the busiest in the United States. Welcoming both cargo and cruise ships, the port contributes more than $16-billion each year to the state of Florida from international trade, providing countless jobs and ensuring that the city looks as glamorous as it does in the movies.

Best beach

Just 90 miles across the Atlantic Ocean from Cuba, South Beach is Miami’s most iconic stretch of sand, and is bordered by Ocean Drive’s row of art deco restaurants, bars, clubs, and hotels. The beach is so flashy it’s even got its own workout equipment built right into the sand -- just in case beachgoers have one too many cheesy quesadillas at lunch.

World’s beachside cities, Dubai

No.2 Dubai, UAE

Body of water the city borders: Arabian Gulf
Population: 2,261,995
Average temperature in the winter: 75°F
Average temperature in the summer: 94°F

Built from the ground up to be one of the world’s busiest beachside cities, Dubai is known for its daring architecture, gaudy style and sweltering heat. Erected in the desert, the beaches are as spotless and as pristine as you’d expect. Dubai’s beachside location doesn’t only enable it to attract D&G-clad sun-worshippers; with a strategic location that sits on the crossroads between East and West, the port forms a connection between Europe and the Far East that was previously non-existent.

Best beach

Dubai relies heavily on its beautiful beaches for tourism, with celebrities from around the globe counting beaches, such as Jumeirah Beach, among their favorite hangouts.

Clifton Beach is one of Cape Town

No.5 Cape Town, South Africa

Body of water the city borders: Indian/Atlantic Oceans
Population: Around 3,500,000
Average temperature in winter: 53°F
Average temperature in summer: 68°F

A city where sickening wealth rubs its Prada-clad shoulders with heartbreaking poverty, Cape Town has risen up the tourism ranks in the past decade to become a go-to place for expat residents looking for a better life in the sun. Fusing European elegance with the exotic nature of the African continent, Cape Town has it all: Five-star hotels, Michelin-starred restaurants, chic nightclubs, designer shops, and beaches better than the ones on Baywatch. Hugged by the warm waters of both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans in front and sheltered by the mountainous landscape behind, the sheltered beaches that lie before the city are some of the best in the world for getting your tan on.

Best beach

Clifton Beach is one of Cape Town’s most glamorous waterfronts, with flashy yachts moored in the shimmering water and rock-hard bodies flaunting themselves in the surf, while Big Bay and Little Bay are best for water sports like windsurfing.

Barceloneta Spain Beach

No.3 Barcelona, Spain

Body of water the city borders: Mediterranean Sea
Population: Around 1,605,602
Average temperature in winter: 50°F
Average temperature in summer: 75°F

While outsiders may see Barcelona as a cultural destination, the Spanish see the city as a fabulous beach resort, flocking to the Catalonian capital in droves as soon as summer hits. A heady mix of architecture, shopping and nightlife, Barcelona sits on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea and boasts over 2.5 miles of stunning white-sand beaches. Barcelona’s beachside position doesn’t just enable it to benefit from shade-wearing tourists; the city was chosen as the host for the 1992 Olympics, which saw billions driven into the restoration of its once-shabby seafront. What’s more, Port Vell, situated at the end of the famous Ramblas, grants the city access to cruise liners and cargo ships, meaning it’s a force to be reckoned with when it comes to valuable trade and cruise tourism.

Best beach

The city’s signature strip of sand has to be Barceloneta Beach, one of many that attracts up to 7,000,000 sun-worshippers every year.

Copacabana Beach Brazil

No.4 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Body of water the city borders: South Atlantic Ocean
Population: 6,093,472
Average temperature in winter: 72°F
Average temperature in summer: 84°F

Cities don’t come more beach-orientated than Rio de Janeiro. Home of the world-famous Carnival, the laid-back citizens of Rio love nothing more than donning their Havaiana flip-flops and heading to Copacabana Beach.

Best beach

Stretching 2.5 miles from Princesa Isabel Avenue to Posto Seis, the iconic Copacabana Beach is where Rio’s tanned beauties lounge by day and party by night, all under the watchful eye of Christ the Redeemer, standing tall on Corcovado mountain. The beach isn’t only good for Brazil’s beach bunnies either: there are historic military forts standing at either end for culture vultures, and a Portuguese wave-patterned promenade lined with hotels, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs for the party crowd. Oozing an atmosphere of casual-beach chic, Rio’s famous sands also plays host to world-famous New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Los Angeles county Santa Monica beach

No.6 Los Angeles, USA

Body of water the city borders: Pacific Ocean
Population: About 3,800,000
Average temperature in the winter: 58°F
Average temperature in the summer: 73°F

Dubbed ”The City of Angels,” Los Angeles is the world’s capital for popular culture and entertainment. With everyone who’s anyone living and working in the sprawling Californian metropolis, Los Angeles is also recognized for its stunning array of beaches, thanks in large part to their many appearances on television and in movies.

Best beach

Though technically part of Los Angeles county, Santa Monica is by far the most renowned beach in the L.A. area, with iconic TV show Baywatch having filmed here during its run. The quintessential urban beach community, Santa Monica borders the Pacific Ocean and offers the allure of a coastal retreat with the sophistication of city-style amenities. Indeed, with Disneyland, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, and Malibu close by, Santa Monica is very much part of the city. Whether you’re sprawled on its fine white sands

England, Brighton beach

No.7 Brighton, UK

Body of water the city borders: English Channel
Population: Around 155,919
Average temperature in winter: 41°F
Average temperature in summer: 64°F

Positioned in the South of England, Brighton is steeped in history and was where the mods and rockers of the ‘60s used to come to battle it out for supremacy on the pier that once sat in the English Channel. Recently declared a “city,” Brighton has become more than just a weekend retreat for Londoners.

Now a developing hub of business and commerce (thanks, in large part, to its geographical position next to the sea), Brighton has seen the rise of a posh city-within-a-city-style marina and a booming boating industry. There are also plans for the construction of the i360, a London Eye-style monument to be erected in place of the burnt-down pier. Set to attract thousands of visitors a year, the towering 490-foot observation mast will mark Brighton as a must-see destination across the world, completely reinventing the city.

Best beach

Aside from the hundreds of pubs and clubs, the beach is Brighton’s biggest draw, with red-and-white striped deck chairs dotting its stony shorefront. In the summer, you can’t actually see the beach for all the people!

Bondi Beach in Australia

No.8 Sydney, Australia

Body of water the city borders: Pacific Ocean
Population: 4,284,379
Average temperature in the winter: 54°F
Average temperature in the summer: 73°F

Although many people still think that Sydney is the capital of Australia, it isn’t -- that would be Canberra. Sydney is, however, no less important to Australia’s success as a travel destination; in fact, more people seem to visit it than the country’s actual capital, which doesn’t seem fair. Nevertheless, with showstopping architecture, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Sydney Harbour Bridge (incidentally, both by the water), a vibrant nightlife scene, and more natural beauty than in the rest of the world’s cities put together, it’s not hard to see why Sydney is the beating heart of modern-day Australia (as well as one of the world's top 10 beach cities). As the country’s biggest metropolis, there’s much to see and do, but one of the biggest draws is undoubtedly the beaches that lie just behind the clutter of the city’s glass-fronted buildings.

Best beach

A magnet for those who love the combination of beach and city life, Bondi Beach is the most photographed stretch of sand in Australia (and Australia’s one hell of a big country!). Famed for its excellent surfing conditions, Bondi is long, well-kept and full of gorgeous people taking to their boards and riding the waves.

Our top 10 beach cities

No.10 Venice, Italy

Body of water the city borders: Adriatic Sea
Population: Around 271,251
Average temperature in the winter: 40°F
Average temperature in the summer: 73°F

Built on water, Venice was destined to rank as one of our top 10 beach cities. Its beaches are often overlooked, however, given the meandering canals, gondola rides and stunning architecture that take up most of visitors’ precious time. When they get past those attractions, they’ll find that the romantic Italian city is actually home to some of the most hush-hush beaches in Europe, where nature and history collide.

Best beach

Venice Lido is one of the world’s best-kept secrets, and is only 10 minutes away from the throngs of tourists that congregate around St. Mark’s Square. An 11-mile island that stretches between the open sea and a lagoon, the sands of Venice Lido play host to some of the most stylish Italians off the catwalk. Excelsior and Des Bains are Lido’s best private beaches (belonging to hotels), but there are two public beaches to be found on either end of the white sandbar if you’re too cheap to check in.

Mumbai’s most charismatic beach

No.9 Mumbai, India

Body of water the city borders: Arabian Sea
Population: Around 13,662,885
Average temperature in the winter: 75°F
Average temperature in the summer: 85°F

Mumbai is the financial, commercial, industrial, and celluloid capital of India, and it’s where Bollywood dreams are made. Built from the ground up on its colonial foundations, Mumbai is one part glitz, with flashy skyscrapers and designer stores, and one part poverty, with slums and seedy neighborhoods. Located next to the Arabian Sea, another one of Mumbai’s points of interest is, of course, the beach. Juhu Beach, which sits just outside of the city center, is lined with Mumbai’s best hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, and it's where the business bunch like to come and play. Mumbai’s deep-water port is also an essential component of the beachside city, managing over half of India’s maritime cargo.

Best beach

Fringed by Marina Drive on the western side of the city, Chowpatty Beach is Mumbai’s most charismatic beach. There are donkey rides, stalls selling bhelpuri (a savory snack favored in the region) and a huge man-powered Ferris wheel to be ridden. When the sun sets behind the Arabian Sea, Chowpatty Beach turns into a carnivalesque scene with astrology readings, plays, monkey shows, and yoga demonstrations happening right on the sand.

Fjords in Norway

Norway scenery

Norway usual landscape

Norway country

Norway is an excellent vacation destination for eco-friendly travelers for this very reason. Its gorgeous landscapes and environmentally focused vacation and activity options makes Norway an ecotourism favorite. Perhaps what people most commonly think of when they think about Norway ecotourism are the Fjords.

Norway’s fjords are long and narrow inlets carved throughout its western valleys. The gorgeous scenery alongside the thousands of fjords in Norway include untouched nature, green hillsides, mountains, glaciers, waterfalls, rivers, extensive wildlife and lakes. As perfect as the fjords are for quiet kayaking or relaxing boat tours they are equally as perfect for some of the greatest adventure tours in Scandinavia. As such, tourists and green travelers flock to Norway each summer for summer skiing, river rafting and cruises within the inlets of the Norwegian countryside. Because of how famous the beauty within Norway’s fjords has become, the country has taken an active role in preserving it for future generations. It has done so well in fact, that the World Heritage Convention ranked Norway’s “West Fjords” as one of the best preserved sites within its list of 830 other ecotourism destinations around the world. Norwegians it seems are adamant about conserving the beauty of their countryside and managing its natural resources correctly. For ecotourism efforts in this regard and the cultural sensitivity to traditional farms and cultures near and around its many Fjords

Bryggen, Bergen another of Norway’s ecotourism destinations is also high on the World Heritage Conventions list of well-preserved eco-destinations. Bryggen is a row of medieval timber houses known for their beauty and how well they blend in within the fjords nearby and the Norwegian hillside. Although less popular than the variety of activity offered by the fjords, it is yet another example of how Norway has remained close to green travel ideals.

Additionally Norway’s major cities offer a variety of green options for visitors. Bike tours, and inexpensive bike rentals are popular in Oslo with an enormous number of parks, museums, boutiques, restaurants, cafes, pubs, organic food fairs and historical sites accessible through bikes and pedestrian paths. City efforts to reduce emissions and make green travel easier for visitors and residents makes Norway a premier green city.

The Beauty of the natural world

Each sees the beauty of the natural world in their own way. Some love the sight, sound and feel of the sea, whilst others are drawn to wild-flower meadows or deep, tangled forests. Although it was a hard choice, I have selected my top 5 beautiful countries, each from a different continent.

Chile

The unspoilt beauty of Chile speaks for itself in this photograph, with volcanoes, desert and lake all contributing to its unique feel, although this scene does not reflect the country’s other offerings of rich forests and fjords, isles and inlets.

Canada

On the border between Canada and America is the Niagara falls, one of the powerful waterfalls in the world. It is simply impossible to be taken aback by its beauty and you can almost hear its roar from the photo.
