Gibson87 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 You could come to Iowa. We have gas stations, cornfields, a mostly abandoned shopping mall and Walmart In all seriousness, maybe try somewhere in Scandinavia. I've never been but it's a beautiful region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norway is great in just so many ways, so many, many ways, but we can't guarantee sunshine and warm waters.

Gracii Guns Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 @janrichmondWe went to Malta this year. Ghadira Bay is beautifully sandy. You can travel by bus anywhere on the island for €3. You can get fairly upmarket accommodation quite reasonably too. The only thing I'll warn you about is the pavements are very uneven, so don't be walking around looking at your phone! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Nova Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Other than the well known historic cities/sites - Italy has over 3,000 miles of beaches. It rarely rains in Southern Italy during the months of July and August. Most of the popular beach towns (even the smaller ones) have hotels, hostels, apartments and even luxury camping sites that won't break the bank. You'll eat well and if you get bored of the beaches, you can easily take a day trip to the mountains or a historic site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beaches are very important, have to be sand and safe for swimming for kids. Any you can recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any you can recommend? I've been mostly to the east coast beaches - along the Adriatic. But anything south of Rimini is pretty nice and safe for swimming. Most of them have "establishments" with umbrellas, restaurants on the beach and life guard stands. Typically, the further south you go, the "bluer" the water. Rimini: San Benedetto Del Tronto Beach: (About 2 hours south of Rimini) Puglia region: (About 4 hours south of San Benedetto) Then there's the popular Almafi coast: West coast near Naples. And there's also Sardinia (I've never been there but I heard it's beautiful): Edited September 10, 2022 by Ace Nova 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew nothing about the country but your pics looked great so I did some Youtubing and now I'm sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
