Victoria Beach Tower: It was built in 1926 as an enclosed staircase to the beach for William E. Brown, a senator from Los Angeles. This area can be accessed only during low tide.
Makapuʻu Beach is a popular body-surfing beach at the extreme eastern end of the Island of Oʻahu in the Hawaiian Islands.
After a short hike through the jungle, we were rewarded with a nearly deserted beach. Tunnels Beach, on the North Shore of Kauai, is reknowned for its spectacular scenery, great snorkeling (you can see the reefs just beyond the beach) and lack of crowds... Fine by me.
My daughter couldn't contain herself, so she sprinted ahead of us. You can see her in the bottom right of the photo.
Went out right after a thunder storm passed through. Wish I could catch the lightning in the dark clouds.

Our Lunch Stop at Biarritz.. and it was raining.. Lucky only showers! Day 13 of our Cosmos tour, October 12, 2012 France on our way to Bilbao in Spain.
Biarritz is a city on the Bay of Biscay, on the Atlantic coast in the Pyrénées Atlantiques department in southwestern France. It is a luxurious seaside town and is popular with tourists and surfers.
Biarritz has long made its fortune from the sea: as a whaling settlement from the twelfth century onwards, in the 18th century doctors recommended that the ocean at Biarritz had therapeutic properties, inspiring patients to make pilgrimages to the beach for alleged cures for their ailments.
Biarritz became more renowned in 1854 when Empress Eugenie (the wife of Napoleon III) built a palace on the beach (now the Hôtel du Palais). The British royal family such as Queen Victoria and Edward VII were frequent visitors as well as other European royalty such as Alfonso XIII of Spain.
Biarritz's casino (opened 10 August 1901) and beaches make the town a notable tourist centre for Europeans, and East Coast North Americans. The city has also become a prime destination for surfers from around the world, developing a nightlife and surf based culture.
At the end of World War II in Europe, the U.S. Army's Information and Educational Branch was ordered to establish an overseas university campus for demobilized American service men and women in the French resort town of Biarritz. Under General Samuel L. McCroskey, the hotels and casinos of Biarritz were converted into quarters, labs and class spaces for U.S. service personnel. The University opened 10 August 1945 and approximately 10,000 students attended an 8 week term. This campus was set up to provide a transition between army life and subsequent attendance at a university in the USA, and therefore students attended for just one term. After three successful terms the G.I. University closed in March 1946.
