    Been to quite a few of them and more but still think that the north east coast beaches could compete with the best of them if not for the bloody weather. Nice little post though.

    Lovely.

    I do like Valletta as well, went there in a heatwave.

    I'm surprised Iceland (well the capital but i can't remember how you spell it) isn't in there actually.

    Lived in Aussie for a few years, biggest let down beach wise for me was Bondi, I've seen much better in the UK, on the odd day when the sun was out like ! Live on the Great Lakes now though but beaches are mostly crap around fresh water.

    Copacabana has turned into a right sh*t hole from being one of the worldīs iconic beaches. Ipanema, which is the next bay, is OK though - so long as you donīt get stabbed before you can get to the water.

    Seems that both have been commercialized and are full of street-sellers throwing peanuts and hats on people. I quite liked both, though you're that the iconism has faded.

    Not surprised that Sunderland lost but quite surprised that Coventry won.

    I thought that Stoke with their pottery history or Swansea would of won it.
