Kahanamoku Beach in Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii

Kahanamoku Beach has been named the 6th best beach in America by Dr. Beach for 2010. This is a beach that we honored in our surfing beach area because it is named after Duke Paoa Kahanamoku who was an Olympic swimmer Gold Medal winner and who many call the “Father of Modern Surfing.” There is a beach named in his honor near the Ala Wai boat harbor (see the Google Map below) and the Hilton Hawaiian Village catamaran pier. There is also a very cool statue of Duke and a live video feed direct from Hawaii which you can watch.

Residing on the southeastern end of the island and partially capped with a row of scenic cliffs, Ditch Plains is an ocean facing beach (instead of facing the sound). One of the most family-friendly beaches in the country, this up-and-coming hot spot offers all the big-beach fun of Florida and California without the large crowds or high prices. The main attraction is the 60-mile-long area known as the Grand Strand, where kids will have their run of amusement parks, mini-golf courses, water slides, and kooky museums. Split is a port and Croatia’s second largest city situated in central Dalmatia. It is a major transit point to Dalmatian islands and other places on the coast, but also tourist and excursionists destination.

Beaches in Greece

by Dave Jackson

All the ardent beach lovers are likely to be confronted with a baffling task after visiting beaches in Greece - that of deciding which one is best. You may wish to swim in the clear deep-blue water or just laze around on the sandy beaches; each beach has something unique to offer. Kolymbia is one of the nicest beaches in Greece, perfectly suiting people looking for a well-organized spot, quiet, but still with a modern atmosphere. Kolimbia lays within a small cove, on the eastern coast of the Rhodes island, just 24 km away from its capital, the city of Rodos. This beach developed rapidly, due to its proximity to the well-known Epta Piges (seven springs), and today Kolymbia is one of the most popular family beaches is Rhodes. Just east of the camping beach you will actually find one of only 3 officially recognised naturist beaches in Greece.
