The DMS Wants to Know!


Monday's Riddle was a walk on the beach, and Lizzy's review of Olive’s Ocean by Kevin Henkes cast us into mysterious waters. Thursday on Top of the Heap we told you about a remote beach on a far away island, and Friday, Margo brought out The Real Mother Goose to share a few of her favorite rhymes. Today, we want to hear from you!

 The DMS wants to know: 
If you could spend a day on any beach in the world, which one would you choose? 

 We told you ours. Now, let's hear yours!

    The beach in Portugal. It's beautiful there, and they have pastries to die for...

    That's hard. My first reaction is to pick a place by where I grew up on Long Island because I don't get to go there as often. But I should pick something new and exotic instead, right?

      Theresa- No need to pick anywhere exotic. Sometimes the best places are the ones close to our heart. :) ~L

    Stone Harbor, NJ, which was definitely Stronger than the Storm. I have gone there every summer for years and years. I never get tired of it.

    Yay Terence - great choice! Mine is the Transkei Wild Coast (also South Africa) - Port St John's 3rd Beach in particular - now the Silaka Nature Reserve - I grew up there and it is paradise on earth!

    I love the beach off the Yucatan Peninsula. Water warm. Fish colorful. Then I'm also in love with the those beaches in Nicaragua. Nobody's ever there, so you have miles of beach to yourself. Santa Cruz in CA. is great, but that water is darned cold. I just wade and look at the waves there.

      Lee- Lots of great beaches! It is nice to look at the water- but it is cold in lots of CA! I haven't been to the other beaches you mentioned- but they do sound nice. :) ~L

    Oh good question! And it's a toughie. I'd love to see the beaches near Nas in the comment above me since she lives in Fiji.
    But I'll pick Kailua Beach on Oahu cuz it's my fave U.S. beach so far.

    Ocean City, New Jersey. We go there when we vacation at the beach. I love it there. But I would also like to see Lake Erie... :)

    Well. I would actually like to go back to the beach in Dubai :) The sand burned like hell, but the ocean had 40C degrees. Best warmth for me. <3

    I think I'd pick an Hawaiian beach. There are so many to choose from all over the world, but I love the warmth and the swaying waves of island beaches.
