Yes, you've got that right...Tennessee Beach... high cliffs... one of them has a big hole through it... I think I found it sort of tropical because of the stone formations and the colour of the water. I didn't find the water at all cold even though I was there in October...although I can't say I saw anyone else paddling around in the water... But then you've got to remember that I'm a Canajun, and up here, we're kind of nutso and will go swimming in our frigid rivers in mid-May when it would make your lips turn purple in a couple of minutes... Can't waste good "swimmin' weather' when your winters are 5 months long... (-:

But you're right... Atlantic beaches with long stretches of white sand and maran grass and dunes... or the big mud flats on the Bay of Fundy. The sand like a mirror stretching out to meet the waves... great place to watch the sun coming up... but warmer?? Guess it depends on where. Up on Michaud Beach on Cape Breton Island, your legs would probably feel numb after wading for just a couple of minutes, but people swim there. Fabulous beach... must be close to 2 miles of white sand in a long curving bay... lots of sand dollars and other interesting things to look at...

Hmmm..... I'm suddenly feeling the need for a salt breeze fix comin' on. Better change the subject...

Maybe part of it, is just the direction it faces. At the sea line. For the sunrise, the moonrise. You can't even SEE a moonrise over the ocean out here.

(I only said part. :o)

Saw a moonrise, over the ocean, at Kailua. Wow. I thought.

"This is like Tahiti."

The reason, was that the moon was to the East. Not setting; rising.

Full.

Wow.

You know, excluding harbors, geology, culture, and anything else. I hear the water is warmer on the Atlantic.

<<I remember the Atlantic as warmer. >>

I noticed that on the Weather Channel yesterday. They showed the water temperatures along both coasts and the Atlantic ran about 20 degrees warmer on the same latitude.
