Former "colored-only" beach

Towards the end of WWII a decision was made to compromise race restrictions on recreation by designating a “colored-only” beach on Virginia Key. Local politicians negotiated the establishment of the “Virginia Key Beach, a Dade County Park for the exclusive use of Negroes,” (today, the Historic Virginia Key Beach Park). It opened on August 1, 1945.

There are several urban myths about the selection of Virginia Key by county officials, each with a kernel of truth – but there was an historic connection of at least several decades’ standing. A 1918 survey map of the “Abandoned Military Reservation” on Virginia Key located a “Negro Dancing Pavilion” on the island’s southeastern shore of the “colored-only” beach. From 1945 to 1947, Miami’s Blacks traveled to the beach exclusively by boat – public and private. The opening of the Rickenbacker Causeway in 1947 connected Virginia Key and Key Biscayne with the mainland and vehicular travel began.

The new Park enjoyed instant popularity. For a time, county government honored the “separate but equal” status of Virginia Key Beach with its white counterpart, Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. The original temporary buildings were replaced by permanent construction, a miniature railroad carried beachgoers around the park, and a seaside merry-go-round whirled riders of all ages. Still, Crandon Park was over 800 acres with two miles of beachfront and Virginia Key 82 acres with a half-mile of beach. ]]> Former "colored-only" beach

The Banzai Pipeline, or simply "Pipeline" or "Pipe", is a surf reef break located off Ehukai Beach Park in Pupukea of O`ahu's North Shore. A reef break is an area in the ocean where waves crash once they reach the shallows of a reef. Pipeline is notorious and famous for its huge waves breaking in shallow water just above its sharp and cavernous reef forming large, hollow and thick curls of water (a.k.a., tubes or barrels) that surfers can surf inside of and hopefully escape from using expert tube riding abilities. There are at least three reefs at Pipeline in progressively deeper water further out to sea that activate at various power levels applied by ocean swells.]]> Surfing the Bonzai Pipeline

The Giant's Causeway is an area of about 40,000 interlocking basalt columns, the result of an ancient volcanic eruption. It is located on the north-east coast of Northern Ireland, about 3 kilometres (2 miles) north of the town of Bushmills. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986, and a National Nature Reserve in 1987 (by the Department of the Environment for Northern Ireland). In a 2005 poll of Radio Times readers, the Giant's Causeway was named as the fourth greatest natural wonder in the United Kingdom. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea. Most of the columns are hexagonal, although there are also some with four, five, seven and eight sides. The tallest are about 12 metres (36 ft) high, and the solidified lava in the cliffs is 28 metres thick in places.
The Giant's Causeway is today owned and managed by the National Trust; it is the most popular tourist attraction in Northern Ireland.

There is a most remarkable cathedral, St. Pierre, opposite the Town Hall, dating from the fifteenth century, which it is said suffered severely in a great gale in 1604, which blew down its spire and many of its statues. It has never been restored, and its huge doorways, its high exterior balconies, its narrow pierced windows, evidently for bowmen, all render it in appearance a vast mediæval fortress, which it undoubtedly was. Its interior is as remarkable, and contains many altars, statues, tombs, and in its nine chapels are great paintings, notably one by Dierick Bouts, "The Martyrdom of St. Erasmus."]]> St. Pierre Cathedral

October 19, 2005 - MGM Mirage will begin tearing down the 654-room property, which will be leveled to make way for the planned CityCenter, a $5 billion hotel and condominium complex expected to open by the end of 2009.

The Coney Island-themed Boardwalk will not be imploded; it will be demolished piece by piece in a process expected to take up to five months.

With the retreat of Stone Point, Horsey Island has become increasingly vulnerable to wave attack. In 1988 a barrage breakwater of sunken barges was put in position. Since then, in a near-desperate attempt to ‘hold the line’ nearly half a million cubic metres of material dredged from the Harwich deep water channel has been deposited to the north and south of the Walton Backwaters entrance and onto the vulnerable northeast corner of Horsey Island (see map above) during the past fifteen years (source: Environment Agency 2005). Due to natural wave action, much of this material had simply been carried back out to sea!]]> Barges used as a breakwater

In 1987 Gordon Roberts discovered an unusual trail of footprints on an exposed patch of silt on the Sefton coast. His curiosity aroused, he began to take notes, then pictures, then plaster casts and careful measurements. Soon he found that the prints were thousands of years old and were of tracks of deer, extinct wild cattle, large birds and people - in particular children.

Alice Roberts meets Gordon to investigate what these footprints tell us about the people and communities that inhabited our coastline. Along with a team of experts, they uncover life 5,000 years ago to help paint a picture of the people and the local environment to reveal more about the life of our ancestors.]]> Sefton Sands

Gadani Beach is the location of a thriving ship breaking industry. Ships to be broken are often run aground on the beach under their own power, and gradually cut up. As the weight of the ship lessens, it is dragged further onto the beach until completely scrapped. In common with many other breakers in the region, scrapping ships at Gadani Beach uses large amounts of local cheap labour with minimal mechanical assistance.

The American periodical “Washington Post Magazine” chose it as one of ten more beautiful beaches of the planet in 1994. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jericoacoara-beach-most-beautiful-of-brazil/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jericoacoara-beach-most-beautiful-of-brazil/ Wed, 03 Jan 2007 18:48:38 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/jericoacoara-beach-most-beautiful-of-brazil/ -2.79502600 -40.51817100 <![CDATA[Madagascar beach]]> Madagascar beach

WWII ballistic testing range
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

During the Second World War experimental work concentrated on bomb ballistics and firing trials.

Between 1938 and 1959 a majority of the firing trials were concentrated in this area. The firing trials were mainly concerned with determining the vulnerability of aircraft and aircraft components to attack by various projectiles. Whole aircraft or individual parts such as fuel tanks, oxygen tanks or running engines were subjected to carefully controlled and recorded simulations of attack.

A principal area of work involved improving the lethality of Allied ammunition and improving the protection of Allied aircraft against German ammunition. A wide range of aircraft including four- engine bombers would be lined up here undergoing trials.

To determine vulnerability the aircraft were shot at with .303 rifles from all angles, a single shot at a time, with each bullet hole marked and recorded after every shot. After the war work continued on machine gun ammunition, rockets and other projectiles, on the vulnerability of aircraft to attack and the development of techniques to record projectiles in flight and duplicate various effects experimentally.

This work continued until the early 1960s and was latterly very largely concerned with the aerodynamics and ballistics of the first nuclear weapons. ]]> WWII ballistic testing range

Thomas Rowe, in failing health, migrates to Florida and begins his dream of building a "pink castle". Against his broker's recommendations, Rowe purchases 80 acres on what is today St. Pete Beach, for $100,000...

The land was accessible only by a frail, wooden toll bridge owned by Mr. McAdoo, who 'operated it on a whim'. Instead of relying on the bridge, Rowe uses small barges to transport building materials. Well-known architect from Indianapolis, Henry Dupont, accepts the commission and moves his firm down to St. Petersburg. Carlton Beard is hired as the head contractor, charged with taking Rowe's vision of a 'great hotel like Waikiki Beach's Royal Hawaiian' and turning it into a reality.

Thomas Rowe is quoted in the Tourist News, January 9th, 1926, as saying "I am not looking for any profit and my only purpose in building the hotel is to give something substantial to the state and to the island."

Rowe chooses the name "Don Ce-Sar" for his hotel as a nod to the main character in the English opera Maritana, Don Caesar de Bazan.]]> Don CeSar Beach Resort

Blackgang Chine is the location of a natural chine (a coastal ravine) in the soft Cretaceous cliffs near Ventnor at the southern tip of the Isle of Wight, England. Unstable terrain due to the underlying Gault Clay strata has resulted in a succession of huge landslips, notably in the 1920s, giving the area a very rugged and spectacular appearance quite atypical of southeast England.]]> Blackgang Chine

Itacoatiara
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]

Considerada a mais bela praia da região oceânica de Niterói, Itacoatiara é cercada por morros arborizados e picos que se elevam do mar até altitudes que superam os 400 metros. Seu canto esquerdo apresenta um relevo rochoso que é popularmente conhecido como "costão".





Na praia, à direita do "costão", está a pedra do "pampo", nome herdado do Itacoatiara Pampo Clube. Essa pedra divide a praia de Itacoatiara (o praião, uma faixa contínua de areia de cerca de 700 m) do recanto da "prainha", de águas mais propícias para o banho de mar.





Seu litoral possibilita a formação de correntes marinhas que privilegiam a prática do surf e do bodyboard como em poucos lugares do Estado, sendo comum a realização de campeonatos e competições. Em 1993, ao cobrir a etapa local de um campeonato de “Big-Riders” (surfistas de ondas grandes), o programa Globo Esporte teve a oportunidade de gravar o que chamou de "as maiores ondas surfadas no Brasil já televisionadas". Um outro esporte praticado no local, é o peculiar "surf de montanha".





Existem diversos pontos favoráveis ao mergulho amador e profissional. Um dos pontos mais disputados, em suas proximidades, é o da Enseada do Bananal, só acessível através de embarcações ou, então, por uma trilha.





É possível comer um bom sanduíche em um dos seis quiosques espalhados ao longo da orla que é coberta por uma vegetação de restinga.]]> Itacoatiara
