Beach Life
Let's explore some beach and island destinations. Kaputas beach, Turkey: "If you could paint a picture of the perfect, untouched Mediterranean beach, Kaputas would be it. This small stretch of golden sand lies at the bottom of a steep, rocky gorge with endless shades of turquoise lapping at its shores." I struggle with how to present thoughtful travel in terms of beaches. They are threatened with rising tides, over-crowding and trash. But they are our primary destination. Most are prepared for regional guests. Stretch your imagination and consider a range of weeks at the beach. I've not been to an urban beach. We like solitude, unless we have family with us. I've included some that few folks will ever visit. With miles of shore, there's plenty of beach to go around.
