MIKE JONES, stuck on a sand bar on the frigid Atlantic
Ocean, claims his home of Bermuda has better beaches than the American Paradise,
the Number One Cruise ship destination, the Number One Wedding Destination in
the U.S., the proud holder of two world class top ten beaches, the location for
countless movies, television shows, commercials and Sports Illustrated Swim Suit
Editions, the land that greeted Columbus and stopped him from sailing further
west, the one, the only, the all-time Beautiful Beach Champion...the Virgin
Islands!
Yaayyyyy!  Yayyyy! Yaayyyyy!
Here we shall hurl beach bombs at each other. Here we will throw sand in each
other's eyes, dunk each other's heads under the water and fire coconuts back and
forth. Here, the loser will collapse exhausted into fluffy white sand, staring
unfocusedly up at a rich blue sky while a model leans over to perform CPR.
WAIT! That should be the winner's prize.
OK. That can be hashed out later. You, the Jurgita members, decide. As beach
scenes fly, you tell us which you prefer and why.
For now...a preemptive strike. Wham! Take that, Mike!   Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

Sydney infact, most of the East Australian Coast has it nailed for a full on
mixture of quaint Mediterrainean Style alcoves, Hawaii style Big surf, and
VIRGIN style Islets and tropical oasis'.
Australia - Worlds biggest Island.
Cala Compte in Ibiza desevres a mention though... as Riely said when we got of
the glass bottomed boat and rounded the rocks:
"How F*%King beautiful is this!?!?!?!"
Indeed it was and is.
Phi Phi in Thailand, of "the beach" fame, also deserves a nomination.
Just looking through some random sites - man there are some places to visit out
there... |

 ID: 199345 Posts: 391 | Date: 2008-01-05 12:27 Ok lets get a couple of things straight. Are we talking photos taken by you and
me or by anyone. I totally agree that with all your experience that you are far
more likely to pull off the better image. And are we talking about St Thomas US
VI or all 3 of your islands. I'm thinking St Thomas only since the others are
not easily accessible without an hours travel by boat or plane at a cost of
about $50+.
btw The travel channel has already started us off. Link. Of all the beaches in the Caribbean region they
recommend Horseshoe Bay Bermuda and Trunk Bay and St John Bay US VI (both on St
John though, non in St Thomas) So now I assume you are going to insist we
include St John too.
Here is one that I took. That's my niece and nephew in the pic. Oh and all the
other people, well there aren't any. This is Warwick Long Bay famous mostly for
its pink sand.
Finally, none of these images have had any edits other than maybe cropping |

here. |

let the beautiful model put you off. |

ID: 199345 Posts: 391 | Date: 2008-01-05 07:16 Honeymoon beach in VI was ok but there were a lot of stones and it was pretty
short. It looked much better when there was a topless model there. |

Then there is the world famous horseshoe bay. I took this in mid afternoon at
the height of the summer. Luckily for us residents, the tourism industry is in
decline, Bermuda is too expensive for the average Joe to visit, so our beaches
tend not to get very crowded. |

ID: 199345 Posts: 391 | Date: 2008-01-05 07:27 How about John Smith's Bay. I took this during a 15 minute helicopter ride that
cost $400. |

one of our best and nor is the pic very good. But it is 5 minutes walk from my
house !!! |
