世界上最独特的海滩？ The world's most exclusive beach?

“我爱你”沙滩，桑给巴尔，坦桑尼亚

Nakupenda 海滩自然保护区位于桑给巴尔西海岸外的一个小沙岛上。这个沙洲被印度洋碧绿的海水所环绕，是游客沐浴阳光和享受金色沙滩的热门目的地。在海浪之下，海洋生物创造了一个充满活力的海底世界，非常适合浮潜。坦桑尼亚的岛屿是奔巴角鸮和非洲鱼雕等一系列野生动物的家园。在 Nakupenda 以北，您可以在 Changuu 岛上遇到一个乌龟保护区，而他们的海龟表亲则在周围水域游泳。

Nakupenda Beach Nature Reserve, Zanzibar, Tanzania

Off the west coast of Zanzibar, the Nakupenda Beach Nature Reserve sits on a small, sandy island. Surrounded by the Indian Ocean, this sand bar is a popular destination with tourists looking to soak up the sun's rays on its white sands. Plentiful marine life here creates a vibrant underwater world that is perfect for snorkeling. The islands of Tanzania are home to an array of wildlife like the Pemba scops owl and the African fish eagle. To the north of Nakupenda, there is a giant tortoise sanctuary on Changuu Island, while their sea turtle cousins swim in the surrounding waters.

挑选你的乐园 Pick your paradise

蒂莫尼港海滩，希腊

蒂莫尼港海滩位于希腊科孚岛的西北部海岸，是一个具有自然魅力的迷人目的地。从历史悠久的阿菲奥纳斯村出发，通过风景优美的徒步旅行路线或乘船前往，这个隐藏着的如宝石般的海岛拥有两个令人惊叹的海湾，形成了独特的双重海滩体验。蒂莫尼港拥有晶莹剔透的绿松石水域和引人注目的悬崖，呈现出如画的海岸全景。在海滩周围，郁郁葱葱的橄榄树和柏树为这里增添了迷人的氛围。尽管像科孚岛这样的希腊岛屿似乎是永恒的、古老的，但它们在地球的历史上相对较新。一个主要的理论是，大约在530万年前，一场大洪水从大西洋涌入非洲和欧洲之间，这一事件被称为赞克尔期洪水。湖泊变成了海洋，以前的山顶变成了岛屿。

Porto Timoni beach, Greece

Porto Timoni beach, in Corfu, Greece, is a hidden gem reached either by boat, or by hiking from the historic village of Afionas. Those who make the journey are rewarded with two stunning coves, offering a unique double-beach experience. With clear turquoise waters and dramatic cliffs, Porto Timoni presents a picturesque coastal panorama. Surrounding the beach, lush olive groves and cypress trees add to its charm. Greek islands like Corfu may seem timeless and ancient but they are relatively new in the history of Earth. A leading theory is that around 5.3 million years ago, a great flood poured in between Africa and Europe from the Atlantic Ocean, an event called the Zanclean flood. Lakes became oceans and what were previously mountaintops became islands.

墨西哥的隐秘海滩 Secluded sands in Mexico

埃莫海滩，玛丽埃塔斯群岛，墨西哥

这张绝美的照片是在埃莫海滩拍摄的，这里又被称为“隐秘海滩”，位于墨西哥巴亚尔塔港西北处的偏远海岛，这里以其纯净的美景和独特的地貌而闻名。这处海滩只能通过一个自然侵蚀形成的隧道到达。沙滩和周围的岩壁组成了一个仰望天空的天窗，碧蓝的天空、绿松石色的海水、长满鲜花的崖壁相互映衬，景色独一无二。埃莫海滩又称“爱情海滩”，已经是一个热门的旅游目的地，但是为了保护这里的自然风景和生态环境，当地限制了游客数量。

Playa del Amor, Marietas Islands, Mexico

This gorgeous shot was taken at Playa del Amor—aka Hidden Beach—a remote destination off the coast of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, known for its pristine beauty. To get to it, visitors need to take a boat toward the mouth of Banderas Bay at the base of the Marietas Islands. Once there, they swim through a tunnel at low tide to reach the beach. The walls hide a sandy cove, where the turquoise waters contrast with flora-laden cliffs that perfectly frame the blue sky overhead. Playa del Amor (Lovers' Beach) is popular among tourists, but the number of visitors is limited to preserve its natural beauty and ecosystem.

在艺术天堂追逐夏天 Chasing summer in the art world

迈阿密海滩巴塞尔艺术展

每年12月，艺术世界的中心不是在纽约、东京或伦敦，而是在一个以宽阔的沙滩、古巴咖啡馆和刚果节奏而闻名的小镇。迈阿密巴塞尔艺术博览会（Art Basel Miami Beach）于今天结束了为期三天的展览，是在瑞士巴塞尔（该艺术节于1970年开始）、香港和巴黎举办的国际艺术博览会的美国站。该活动已有20年的历史，是北美最全面的当代艺术博览会，吸引了数千名艺术家、经销商、收藏家、欣赏者，以及寻求乐趣的游客，参加一年一度的创意盛会。

Art Basel Miami Beach

Every December the center of the art world convenes not in New York, Tokyo, or London, but in a town known more for its wide sandy beaches, café Cubano, and conga rhythms. Art Basel Miami Beach, which wraps up its three-day run today, is the American leg of an international art fair also staged in Basel, Switzerland (where the festival started in 1970), Hong Kong, and Paris. The event, now 20 years old, is the most comprehensive contemporary art fair in North America, attracting thousands of artists, dealers, collectors, appreciators, and just fun-seeking tourists for this annual burst of creativity steps from the sand.

回到过去 Stepping back in time

侏罗纪海岸世界遗产地，英格兰

回溯1.99亿年，前往英国多塞特的侏罗纪海岸世界遗产地。这幅令人惊叹的化石展示图被称为“氨岩路面”，数千块化石被埋藏在蒙茅斯海滩西端的石灰岩岩架中。虽然菊石看起来很像蜗牛壳，但它们是已灭绝海洋生物的化石，与当今的章鱼或鱿鱼关系更为密切。英国自然历史博物馆（British’s Natural History Museum）指出，由于菊石的数量和大小，这个充满化石的岩架在世界上是独一无二的：化石直径高达27英寸。如果你想看看，时间就是低潮时岩壁出现的一切，附近的大岩石中也有更多的菊石。

今天是国家化石日，在这一天，我们庆祝着这个迷人的灭绝动植物世界。这并非巧合，它发生在地球科学周期间：我们可以从这个可见、可触摸的过去遗产中更多地了解我们的星球和所有生物。

Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, England

Travel back 199 million years with a trip to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site in Dorset, England. This stunning fossil display is known as the Ammonite Pavement, and thousands of these fossils are embedded in a limestone ledge at the west end of Monmouth Beach. Although the ammonites look rather like snail shells, these are fossils of extinct sea creatures that are more closely related to today's octopus or squid. Britain's Natural History Museum notes that the fossil-filled ledge is unique in the world because of the sheer number and size of the ammonites: The fossils reach up to 27 inches in diameter. If you want to check them out, timing is everything—the ledge emerges at low tide, and there are more ammonites in large rocks nearby, too.

Today is National Fossil Day, when we celebrate the fascinating world of extinct creatures and plants. It's no coincidence that it falls during Earth Science Week: We can learn more about our planet and all living things from this visible, touchable legacy of our past.

印度的里维埃拉 The Riviera of India

Arambol Beach, Goa, India

Known for its immense, densely populated cities, India also has a seemingly endless coastline. And no part of it is more languid and lovely than Arambol, in the small and special state of Goa on the southwestern coast. Arambol is a popular holiday town with the vibe of a sleepy fishing village—which it was once was. Now visitors from around the world drawn to its tropical climate, rainforest valleys, historic architecture, sandy beaches, blue waters, and swaying coconut palms bring a new energy to Arambol.

Goa is distinct from much of India as it was colonized by Portugal while Great Britain ruled the rest. The Portuguese Empire conquered Goa in the early 1500s and ruled it until 1961, when it was annexed by India. The influence of the Portuguese can be seen in Goa's Catholic churches and convents, as well as in the name of the state's largest city: Vasco da Gama, after the explorer who once governed Goa.

If history isn't your thing, Arambol is famous for a drum circle and flea market held on the beach a few hours before sunset. It's just as much a beach party as a market. Craftspeople sell handmade wares while musicians join impromptu performances. There's no better way to end your day in Goa, land of sand and spice and sun.

阿兰波海滩，果阿，印度

印度以其巨大而人口稠密的城市而闻名，其海岸线似乎无穷无尽。在西南海岸的小而特殊的果阿州，没有一个地方比Arambol更慵懒和可爱。Arambol是一个受欢迎的度假小镇，有着一个沉睡的渔村的氛围，它曾经是一个渔村。现在，来自世界各地的游客被其热带气候、雨林山谷、历史建筑、沙滩、蓝色水域和摇曳的椰子树所吸引，为Arambol带来了新的活力。

果阿不同于印度的大部分地区，因为它曾被葡萄牙殖民，而英国统治其余地区。15世纪初，葡萄牙帝国征服了果阿，并统治了它，直到1961年被印度吞并。葡萄牙人的影响可以在果阿的天主教教堂和修道院中看到，也可以在该国最大城市瓦斯科·达伽马（Vasco da Gama）的名字中看到，瓦斯科·达·伽马是曾经统治果阿的探险家。

如果你不喜欢历史，那幺Arambol以日落前几个小时在海滩上举行的鼓圈和跳蚤市场而闻名。这是一个海滩派对，也是一个市场。工匠们出售手工制品，音乐家们则参加即兴表演。在果阿，没有更好的方式来结束你的一天，这是一个充满沙子、香料和阳光的地方。

这个神奇的海滩值得一游 This magical beach is worth the hike

Seitan Limania beach, Crete

Crete is the largest and most populous of all the Greek islands, and also the farthest from the mainland (in fact, it's just about halfway to Turkey). This big little island is small enough to drive across in a few hours but full of wonders from mountain ranges to gorges to beautiful beaches. Take this jewel box of turquoise water near the port city of Chania for example. 'Set on the easternmost of three peninsulas that stick out like horns from the northwestern shoreline of Crete, Seitan Limania is one of the most photographed beaches on the island.

Seitan Limania is 'beautiful to behold from a distance but driving up close via the narrow switchback roads takes some nerve. And once you get to the parking lot, the rocky hike down is for only the most surefooted of beachgoers. On your way down, you'll likely meet some of the goats that populate the area. 'The narrow cove is flanked by steep rock walls that zig one way, then zag the other. When you reach the beach, you'll find yourself on one of the most unique spots on any coast—and a selfie here at Seitan Limania is hard to beat for bragging rights.

塞坦利马尼亚海滩，克里特岛

克里特岛是所有希腊岛屿中最大、人口最多的岛屿，也是离大陆最远的岛屿（事实上，它距离土耳其只有一半）。这个大大小小的岛屿很小，可以在几个小时内驾车穿过，但充满了从山脉到峡谷到美丽海滩的奇观。以港口城市查尼亚附近的绿松石水珠宝盒为例塞坦利马尼亚位于克里特岛西北海岸线三个半岛的最东端，这些半岛像角一样突出，是岛上拍照最多的海滩之一。

Seitan Limania“从远处看很美，但在狭窄的弯道上近距离开车需要一些勇气。”。一旦你到了停车场，只有最踏实的海滩游客才可以进行岩石徒步旅行。在你下山的路上，你很可能会遇到一些山羊，它们栖息在这个地区狭窄的海湾两侧是陡峭的岩壁，这些岩壁一路弯曲，另一路弯曲。当你到达海滩时，你会发现自己是任何海岸上最独特的景点之一，在Seitan Limania的自拍是很难被吹嘘的。

假日的气息

太平洋的波涛

Sand, sun, and sk8ers

Walk the busy boardwalk of Venice Beach, in Los Angeles, and you'll see more sailing past than distant yachts—like an endless stream of skateboarders whizzing by within inches, always seeming to dodge you and your snow cone at the last second. Wanna bet they're headed to this world-famous skatepark right on the beach?

First poured in 2009 and serving locals, tourists, and pros alike ever since, Venice Skatepark's three bowls are usually brimming with skilled skaters—and visitors crowding the railings hoping to spy sick tricks. It's an appropriate setting for a top-notch skate spot: Bustling SoCal beaches like Venice were the birthplace of skateboarding, invented by bored surfers who wanted to cruise the land on days when waves were weak.

沙子、阳光和滑雪道

走在洛杉矶威尼斯海滩繁忙的木板路上，你会看到比远处的游艇更多的帆船驶过，就像无数的滑板运动员在几英寸之内呼啸而过，总是在最后一秒闪避你和你的雪球。想打赌他们会去海滩上这个世界著名的滑板公园吗？

威尼斯滑板公园的三个碗从2009年开始，为当地人、游客和专业人士提供服务。从那以后，威尼斯滑板公园的三个碗里通常挤满了熟练的滑板手和游客，他们挤满了栏杆，希望窥探恶心的把戏。这是一个适合顶级滑板场地的环境：像威尼斯这样熙熙攘攘的索卡尔海滩是滑板运动的发源地，滑板运动是无聊的冲浪者发明的，他们想在海浪弱的日子在陆地上冲浪。
