Florence
Florence is a coastal city in Oregon located where the Siuslaw River meets the Pacific Ocean. It is known for its dramatic coastal scenery, extensive sand dunes, and working waterfront.
Torquay
Torquay, located on England’s southwest coast in Devon, is often referred to as the gateway to the English Riviera. With origins as a small fishing village, it expanded rapidly in the 19th century as a seaside resort, attracting visitors with its mild climate, sandy beaches, and scenic coastline.
Scarborough
Blanketed from end to end in luxuriant greenery and brightly colored flowers, this enchanted island is scalloped with beautiful beaches. There are sandy coves beside coral reefs, and alabaster cresents below tiny trails, leading to pretty waterfalls or plantation ruins. Best of all is the Main Ridge Rain Forest Trail, where jungle-thick ferns and giant bamboo grasses flourish under a canopy of foliage 60-feet high.
Puerto Penasco
Puerto Peñasco, also known as Rocky Point, rests along the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez in northern Sonora, Mexico. Along its shoreline, Sandy Beach draws visitors with long stretches of walkable sand and calm water, while Playa Hermosa and Playa Mirador offer quieter spots where tide pools appear as the sea pulls back. Boat rides to Bird Island, also known as Isla San Jorge, provide a rare chance to see large colonies of sea lions resting on rocky ledges.
Campo Grande
Campo Grande is the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul in central-western Brazil and an important urban gateway to the southern Pantanal and destinations such as Bonito. The city is often known as Cidade Morena, a reference to the reddish soil found across the region. Its broad avenues, parks, and low-density neighborhoods reflect its location on the edge of the Brazilian interior, where urban life meets ranching country and cerrado landscapes.
