Sardina island coast

Soft dusk cloaks pastel-hued Castelsardo, a fortified hilltown on the northwest coast of Sardinia. Still little known by most Americans, Sardinia’s northern coast is a corner of the Mediterranean adored by Italians and in-the-know Europeans

Honolulu, Hawaii

Once an idyllic retreat for 19th-century Hawaiian royalty, Honolulu’s Waikiki Beach is now chockablock with resorts, some of them historic like the 1901 Moana Surfrider Hotel. The long, rolling breaks are ideal for novice surfers, but most beachgoers here are happy basking in the temperate, turquoise blue Pacific and killer views of the Diamond Head crater.

France..

Some 35 beaches—some private, some public—stretch uninterrupted along Nice's coastline between the Rauba Capeu Quay and the airport, along the famous Promenade des Anglais, which fronts La Baie des Anges. Don't forget your flip-flops, however, as la plage is covered with small, smooth pebbles called galets. The beau monde sunbathe at private beaches, where a day's access costs about 16 euros and often includes a chaise lounge; food, towel, parasol, and chilled rosé are extra.

Dog Rock, Albany, Australia

Albany

The oldest permanently settled town in WA, before Perth and Fremantle, Albany is a characterful and historic town on the south coast. It was the first deep-water port on the south coast and was the departure point for many ANZACs who went to Europe to fight in World War One. The city boasts some beautiful old architecture, a dog-shaped rock, spectacular Middleton Beach and even an old whaling station, now a museum. It is also the home of the HMAS Perth wreck that was deliberately sunk as a recreational dive site in King George Sound.
