What are the best beaches in northern new jersey? I live in Bergen county in northern NJ and I'm planning to hit up some beaches in a few weeks. The only beach I've ever went to here is Sandy Hook, which is fine but I was wondering if there are any better beaches I am missing out on? I'd like a beach with a minimum of spiky shells or rocks and things, not TOO cold (although all NJ beaches are cold!) and some fun things to do in the area, like a boardwalk with nice restaurants and shops.

How are the beaches in northern Massachussetts? I'm thinking about going to college in Wenham, Mass, about 25 minutes away from Boston. Are there any waves at the beaches around here?

Beaches aren't the main reason I'm thinking about going to this college, but I'm curious. Thanks!
What kind of beaches and swells are best for learning to surf? I want to learn to surf, and am unsure which beach to go to.

Does anyone know where the beaches in Cozumel are in relation to the piers? We are going on a cruise to Cozumel in December. I remember that there were beaches close to the pier last time I went, but I don't remember if it was within walking distance. We are wanting to spend some time shopping, maybe go back to the ship for lunch, and then spend the afternoon at the beach. Does anyone know if the beach is within walking distance, or how long it takes to get to a beach if it is not in walking distance. I would appreciate any information. I have found tons of beaches on on the internet, but I don't know where they are at in relation to the pier. Oh yeah, we are traveling on the Carnival Glory

What are the beaches in New Zealand like and how much is temporary housing near them? I'm planning a trip down to New Zealand on a working holiday visa. The primary reason for my trip is surfing but that's obviously not the only thing I will be doing. I hear the north island is better for surfing but the beaches are rocky and less forgiving than the south island. I also have no idea where I'll be staying or if I'll be able to afford any kind of apartment or room. If you could shine a light on any of the subjects it would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know if I can find a taxi coming back from any of these beaches or will I need to pre-book a return? Does one of these beaches have a better chance of finding transportation than the others?

I've been to Point Pleasant before and enjoyed it but wondered if there are any specific beaches that are motorcycle friendly. Ok........so maybe I should clarify my questions since some people took the "taking the sport bike to the beach thing literally". I'm not actually taking my bike ON the beach, i'm taking it TO the beach, meaning imma ride around the beach community hitting up bars and different locations. I hope this clarifies the question.

Why are beaches and water around the equator so much more attractive than other cooler places? Blue green clear waters ... sand like powdered sugar, beautifully colored marine life. Cold dark waters... slimy dark fish, sea weed, beaches with skipping stones on them , not pleasant . IS it the heat, the sun, what is it that makes warm climate beaches better than beaches found in say England, or Pacific Northwest ? Whether I go in the dead of summer or during winter they are still the same though . I wanted to know what caused the different characteristics of the beaches .

We are all in mid/late 20s and want something with great beaches and a really fun nightlife and somewhere that is easy to get around (we would love to walk to the bars, so nothing too spread out).

We'd like to take a day or weekend trip to a beach in Florida (we live in Kissimmee), and I'd like to know what beaches have the most to offer for a family (our son is 3).

Please tell me all you can about whatever beach you recommend, including activities in the area, best places to stay, what the parking is like, how crowded, etc. I'm originally from south Jersey, so my idea of a weekend at the shore is based on Wildwood and Ocean City NJ, with crowded beaches and the fabulous boardwalks. I'd like to find some new favorites here in Florida where we can start a family tradition of visiting often!

We will be visiting Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, and Tuscany. While we want to enjoy the culture, we also want to get some sun down on the beaches.

We were planning for the summer, but with temperatures nearing 40°C, we think it may be too hot.

They're not tomatoes.
What public beaches on Cape Cod allow alcohol? I'm considering an evening/night barbecue on the beach for a bachelor party. As you might expect there will be alcohol. While looking for fire permit information I started stumbling on to "no alcohol" rules for each beach I check.

Which ones? Thanks in advance!

What are some beautiful, quiet beaches in Thailand? I'm planning an 8 day trip through Thailand. My main goal is to hang out on beautiful beaches, sleep in comfortable but cheap bungalows on or near the beach, and avoid rude and obnoxious foreigners. Is it true that in February it is better to be on the west side of the south peninsula? I know Phuket is the tourist hotspot, but is it jam-packed with jerks and over-priced accommodations? I'm also interested in some snorkeling and light hiking. I'll appreciate any recommendations!

Something sheltered from a lot of wind, or where the sunset doesn't blaze directly in your eyes as you look out toward the water would be nice too. Thanks for your help.
What beaches are open past sunset on Long Island? I don't just mean the boardwalk or concession areas either. Where can I go on Long Island and chill by the ocean/sound from 8pm-12am during the summer without breaking any rules or raising the suspicions of security? I know Jones Beach closes its beaches after sunset, but are there any state/county/town beaches that allow you to hang out there even without a lifeguard or staffing?

Where is the best place out of Europe to holiday in May for good weather, nice beaches and things to do? Am looking to go away for 3 weeks in May and really can't decide what I want to do or where I want to go. My dream destination was India but apparently it is incredibly hot over there during May, and too much for us Brits! Have travelled Thailand and Vietnam in the past and loved the relaxed vibe and beautiful beaches in Thailand, as well as all the interesting things to do in Vietnam. As we are away for 3 weeks, it is possible that we can do a stop off somewhere. Maybe 1 week in one country, and 2 weeks in another. Or just 3 weeks in different parts of 1 country. Have had a look at a few options, but struggling to find the right balance of what I want. Have so far considered Laos, Borneo, Fiji, Sri Lanka and Maldives. Definately want to get out of Europe and like the idea of Asia again. Want good weather, gorgeous beaches, and tourist sites or wildlife. Also, suggestions on what to do and where to go in suggested destinations would be appreciated!
Can you build a bonfire on any beaches in Maui? I'm getting married there in June and after our reception my fiance and I would love to just hang out at the beach and have a bonfire. Is this possible? If so which beaches allow this and how do we go about it? Thank you!
