"The Emerald Mediterranean"

Glorious, isn't it? You've just GOT to love that color. And with the froths of white amid the blue-- ohhhhhh, man-- it's irresistible. 

But even if you neglect color, you can't deny the texture in the photo below. It looks like brown sugar, right? But it isn't*! It's sand. Brown-sugar-sand. What was crazy is that not only did the sand look like brown sugar, it felt like it too. You could pack it just as easily as pressing brown sugar into measuring cups to use for cookies. The whole beach was like this! Really! Gosh, it was fun. 

*Believe me, I checked just to be sure. Hahaha
