Bare Island

The island has certainly changed since those tranquil days. In the 1870s the authorities of New South Wales had the view that the Russians were likely to invade Australia. Therefore, in 1877 two British fortification experts, Sir Peter Scratchley and William Jervois were sent to Australia as a result of a request from the Colony of New South Wales. They were given the task of designing and co-ordinating the defence of Sydney and they planned a series of forts and gun batteries to protect against attack. Bare Island was planned as the sole defence of Botany Bay. The fortifications on the island were built during the period 1881 to 1889 under the direction of the Colonial Architect, James Barnet. The barracks were completed in 1891. It became apparent that the fort and barracks had been subject to substandard workmanship and this led not only to the resignation of James Barnet, it led to a Board of Inquiry and then to Australia's first Royal Commission.

Joined to the mainland by a small timber bridge, Bare Island is perfect for either day or night diving in almost all weather. In even moderate seas you can safely dive in almost any spot and in very heavy seas you can usually dive the protected (right) side of the island. Only in huge seas (say over five metres average) can you not get a dive at Bare Island. There are many different dives can be done around the island itself, as well as along the shore on either side of the bridge. These are listed below with a short description.
When diving here, beware of small boats and jet skis which regularly speed under the bridge, taking no notice of dive flags or the ban on jet skis. When ascending at the end of a dive anywhere near Bare Island, make sure you listen before leaving the bottom. Best bet is to not ascend at all, even if you have lost your buddy. Swim back to shore before ascending.

Harbour Island

Harbour Island Bahamas 
Harbour Island Bahamas is located off the northeast coast of Eleuthera Island. The largest city in Harbour Island Bahamas is Dunmore Town, and the island still maintains much of the old time charm of the Bahamas that has been obscured by resorts and casinos on larger islands like Paradise or New Providence. That isn't to say, however, that Harbour Islands Bahamas doesn't have some excellent resorts of its own. The island also features the famous three mile stretch of pink sand beach, which is the perfect place for swimming, diving, and snorkeling.
Harbour Island is one of the oldest settlements in the Bahamas, and to reach you will need to either take a boat or plane from the island's neighbor, Eleuthera Island. As one of the oldest settlements, there are some excellent historical sites that are worth seeing. A walk through Dunmore Town will take only about 30 minutes, but the relaxed atmosphere of the town and the old buildings will make it a pleasant stroll. Along the way, you can check out Loyalist Cottage (so named for the loyalist who built it in 1797 when he left America after the Revolutionary War to hold his allegiance to the crown), St. John's church and the Wesley Methodist church. Both buildings are quite old and still in use.
Your Harbour Island vacation can also include a number of beach activities. The famous pink sand beach Bahamas is considered by some to be the best beach in the Bahamas. The pink sand beach Bahamas stretches out for 3 miles, and the cove is protected by a reef barrier that creates a gentle place for swimming and snorkeling. The pink sand beach Bahamas is flanked by hotels and resorts, but nevertheless it remains a beautiful place to spend a day at the beach.
In addition to beachcombing, you may want to include scuba diving in your Harbour Island vacation. There are a number of diving choices near Harbour Island, but the most popular is the Current Cut Dive. This is considered to be one of the most exiting dives in the world, due to the fact that divers are pulled along in quickly moving current right along with the fish for almost a mile in less then 10 minutes. To book this dive you can speak with any hotel concierge once you've arrived, or mention the dive to your travel agent when planning your Harbour Island vacation.


Shopping and dining on the island are both pleasurable experiences. The island has none of the sprawling monoliths that dominate some of the busier islands. Instead, there is an excellent straw market with handmade goods and usually a nice selection of fresh fruit and homemade food. Restaurants are equally unassuming and yet provide excellent local cuisine. A few modest bars can also be found in Dunmore Town. To reach Harbour Island, you can take a catamaran from Nassau, or fly into North Eleuthera and take a water ferry from there. Taking the flight will put you in Harbour Island about 30 minutes sooner than the catamaran. 

Hull Island

Hull Bay St Thomas 
 
Hull Bay St Thomas is one of those relatively unknown beaches on the islands that few known about save for the locals who cherish it. Located on the island’s north shore, Hull Bay is scenic and fairly quiet with a calm surf and jagged bay that is known as a great surfing spot, the best on St Thomas, in fact. The white sand beach is the most obvious and attractive element of the backdrop, lined by grape trees offering visitors shade to lounge in. The beach has long been used by local fisherman as a place to dry nets and land catches. Several times per year there are local fishing tournaments held here. There is also a small local bar with live music and food.
Hull Bay is also known among surfers to be a great spot for surfing with good wave quality for the experienced. Swells come in from the north, northwest, and northeast, and the wind blows in both from the west, south, southwest and southeast. The waves are considered fast, hollow, and powerful while the bottom is reef coral , which is sharp and dangerous if you’re not aware. With such an ocean bottom, snorkeling is also one of the popular things to do at Hull bay St Thomas.
The area around Hull Bay is ideally set-up for small groups and not so much crowds; there are several places to park (especially on weekdays and outside of peak season when parking near the water is possible), an al fresco bar and restaurant is located within easy distance, and there are also a few options for restrooms close by.

There are a dozen or so vacation rentals available around Hull Bay that can make a good alternative to the island’s resorts and hotels.




Hawaii Island


Hawaii is a state of the United States. Hawaii was discovered by James Cook, a British explorer on January 10, 1778. Native of the Hawaiian Islands is a Polynesian tribes. King Kamehameha I who was born in 1758, was a great king who once ruled over the Hawaiian Islands around 1810. Kamehameha dynasty continued by his descendants until Kamehameha V​​, who died on December 11, 1872, which is the last successor Kamehameha dynasty.

Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego

Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego


Where: Argentina and Chile

Several centuries ago, the only inhabitants of the southern extremity of South America were the native Yahgan Indians. To survive in the inhospitable climate of this land, the Yahgans made ample use of fire. The campfires continuously burning here were so numerous and so bright that when the first Europeans to explore the region saw them from the sea, they called the whole place Tierra del Fuego ("Land of Fire"). Today, the name Tierra del Fuego applies to the group of islands that make up the southern tips of both Argentina and Chile. Isla Grande -- as its name suggests -- is the largest landmass in the archipelago, with territories belonging to both those countries.

The word "southernmost" is proudly applied to many attributes of Isla Grande: It's the southernmost part of the Patagonia region (the Patagonia ecotourism base town of Punta Arenas is just across the Strait of Magellan from the island) and claims to have the "southernmost city in the world" in Ushuaia, Argentina (Puerto Williams in Isla Navarino contests that claim). Ushuaia, a former penal colony, is the main embarkation point for ship expeditions to the Southern Ocean sites of Antarctica , the Falklands , and South Georgia . The principal attraction of the town itself is the Museo del Fin del Mundo (Maipú 175; tel. 54/2901/421-863), with interesting exhibits on the indigenous peoples and nature of Tierra del Fuego and fascinating navigation artifacts and records. Besides those passengers who spend a day here en route to the Drake Passage and the Antarctic region, Ushuaia and Isla Grande don't get much tourism. The 48,000-sq.-km (18,533-sq.-mile) island's terrain is mostly mountainous, and there are some oil and natural gas deposits in the northern part of the island.

Not far from Isla Grande, though it's actually a separate small island in the Tierra del Fuego group, is the real southernmost tip of South America and one of the most fabled sites in the story of seafaring: Cape Horn (Cabo de Hornos). Before the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914, rounding "the Horn" was the only way for ships to get between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, and its hostile waters were -- and still are -- notorious for the challenges they posed to sailors. Strong winds and currents, enormous waves, and even icebergs sent many a seaman to his watery grave.

History

Earliest human settlement occurred more than 10,000 years ago. The Yaghan people were some of the earliest known humans settling in Tierra del Fuego, with certain recognizable archeological sites at locations such as Navarino Island within the islands of Tierra del Fuego.
The name Tierra del Fuego derives from Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who was the first European to visit these lands in 1520. He believed he was seeing the many fires (fuego in Spanish) of the Amerindians, which were visible from the sea and that the "Indians" were waiting in the forests to ambush his armada. These were fires lit by the Yamana Indians who lived in the northern part of the island, to ward off the low temperatures in the area. Originally called the "Land of Smoke," it was later changed to the more exciting "Land of Fire."
Four native Fuegians, including "Jemmy Button" (Orundellico), were brought from Tierra del Fuego by Robert Fitzroy on his first voyage with the HMS Beagle in 1830. They were taken to meet the King and Queen in London and were to an extent celebrities. The surviving three returned to Tierra del Fuego with the Beagle with Charles Darwin, who made extensive notes about his visit to the islands.
In 1881 it was divided between Argentina and Chile, having previously been claimed by both countries in its entirety.


Climate

The climate in this region is very inhospitable. It is a subpolar oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfc) with short, cool summers and long, wet, moderate winters: the northeast is characterized by strong winds and little precipitation, in the south and west it is very windy, foggy, and wet for most of the year, and there are very few days without rain, slush, hail or snow. The permanent snow-line begins at 700 m (2,300 ft) above sea level. Isla de los Estados, east of Ushuaia, receives of rain. Rainfall is heavier in the west, a year. Temperatures are steady throughout the year: in Ushuaia they hardly surpass in summers and average in winters. Snowfall can occur in summer. The cold and wet summers help preserve the ancient glaciers. The southernmost islands possess subantarctic climate typical of tundra that makes the growth of trees impossible. Some areas in the interior have a polar climate. Regions in the world with similar climates to southern Tierra del Fuego are: Aleutian islands, Iceland, Alaska Peninsula and Faroe Islands.

Flora

Only 30% of the islands have forests, which are classified as Magellanic subpolar; the northeast is made up by steppe and cool semidesert.
There are six species of tree found in Tierra del Fuego: Canelo or Winter's Bark (Drimys winteri), Maytenus magellanica, Pilgerodendron uviferum the southernmost conifer in the world, and three kinds of Southern Beech; Nothofagus Antarctica, Nothofagus pumilio and the evergreen Nothofagus betuloides. Very delicious fruits grow in open spaces in these forests, such as beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis var. chiloensis forma chiloensis) and calafate (Berberis buxifolia), which were and are collected respectively by Indians and countrymen. These forests are unique in the world for having developed in a climate with such cold summers. Tree cover extends very close to the southernmost tip of South America. Winds are so strong that trees in wind-exposed areas grow twisted by the force of winds, and people call the trees "flag-trees" for the shape that they need to take in the fight with the wind. Tree vegetation extends as far south as the Isla de los Estados, Navarino Island and the north of Hoste Island. At altitudes above, dwarf nothofagus communities are found. Going further south, Wollaston Islands and the south of Hoste Island are covered by subantarctic tundra.
Forests from Tierra del Fuego have expanded beyond local importance; they have been a source of trees that have been planted abroad in places with practically the same climate but which were originally devoid of trees like Faroe Islands and nearby archipelagos. Most species were gathered from the coldest places in Tierra del Fuego, sites mainly with tundra borders. This effort resulted in positive changes, as the heavy winds and cool summers in the Faroe Islands did not allow the growth of trees from other regions in the world. The imported trees are used ornamentally, as curtains against wind, and for fighting erosion caused by storms and grazing in the Faroe Islands.

Economy

The main industries are oil, natural gas, sheep farming and ecotourism. On the Argentine side there are several electronic companies established. Tierra del Fuego is also home to the small brewing company Cervecería Fueguina, which produces three beers under the Beagle brand name.





Lamu Island


If it’s your first time traveling to Africa, do the obvious: Go on a safari. And if, after you’ve seen the lions, rhinos, and elephants, the special history and culture of the continent gets under your skin, consider a different, nonzoological type of African destination the next time around. For many, mostly European habitués, that destination is the island of Lamu. Just 2 degrees south of the Equator, off the east coast of Kenya, Lamu is a place that seems stuck in time. For centuries, it was a bustling Indian Ocean port of call and an important link in the spice trade, and that atmosphere is totally palpable here today. Lamu is like an exotic stage set that also happens to have amazing beaches.
The streets of Lamu are quiet, cool, and car-free, lined with thick-walled white stone buildings, their arches and decorative cutouts evoking the centuries of Muslim influence here: Lamu was founded by Arab traders in the 1400s. Virtually every house has a roofed veranda on the top floor. The entire island has one proper town—the busy Lamu Town, which, as the oldest and best-preserved Swahili settlement in East Africa, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Monuments here include the turreted Lamu Fort and Riyadha Mosque (both from the 19th c.), but the most interesting sights are the much more ancient, nameless traditional houses, some of which date back to Lamu Town’s 14th-century foundations. Elsewhere on the island, there are a handful of lesser villages; one of the most well known for visitors is Shela. Here, guesthouses line gorgeous golden sandy beaches where traditional dhows and brightly colored fishing boats with names like Beyonce loll in the surf. Dolphins swim in the waters offshore, and you’ll probably meet a few when you’re out for a dip. There isn’t a single automobile on the island; instead, you’re shuttled around by boat, donkey, or scooter when you aren’t using your own two feet.


There may be donkey droppings in the streets and Swahili spoken in the markets, but Lamu tourism is an exclusive affair. Some of the most famous families in the world have holiday property here, and for all the island’s African authenticity, the cuisine on Lamu is surprisingly inflected by haute-European culinary trends. With its beautiful, simple architecture (most is Swahili, from the 19th c.), gorgeous people (a mix of African and Arab ethnicities), and rich heritage, relaxing Lamu is a magnet for well-heeled travelers looking for something with more cultural cache than the been-there, done-that south of France.
What makes Lamu so attractive—that it’s completely exotic and romantic, without the blight of extreme poverty that plagues so much of Africa—is also what makes vacationing here a surreal and perhaps even guilt-ridden experience. Going for drinks at the friendly and fabulous colonial-style Peponi Hotel (where everybody meets at some point while on Lamu), you might well rub elbows with princes (or Prince himself), and revel in the absurdity of finding such glamour here, a place whose economy hinged for centuries on the slave trade, while just across the water is an entire continent struggling to meet basic human needs.
Getting to Lamu involves flying first to Nairobi, and from Nairobi, catching a small plane to Manda Island. (For a lot more money, you can also fly to Lamu itself, where there’s an airstrip served by small charter planes from Nairobi.) Because Lamu isn’t easy to reach, and because its rhythms take some time to get to know, it’s the kind of place you should plan to visit for at least a week.




Gorgona Island


Whale off Gorgona Island

Gorgona, Colombia: Welcome to the Jungle

It hasn’t taken long for nature to regain complete control of Gorgona Island. From the 1950s to the 1980s, this landmass in the Pacific was a maximum security prison — Colombia’s Alcatraz — but the facility was closed and declared a natural national park in 1985; the jail buildings are now overgrown with dense vegetation, complete with monkeys swinging from vine to vine. Gorgona is one of those places where the natural environment is almost comically inhospitable to humans. Visitors who come ashore at Gorgona today are strictly supervised, limited to groups of 80 at a time, and forbidden from wandering too far away from the coastline, for fear of encountering deadly critters. Gorgona shelters a wealth of endemic plant and animal species in its rainforests, including the small (and endangered) blue lizard of Gorgona. Gorgona also has some of the finest sandy beaches in Colombia, backed by palm trees and a thick curtain of green, letting you know that the creepy-crawly jungle is never far away on this island.

The Singing Island

Basin Head was given a nomination by CBC viewers as one of the most intriguing
natural sites in the country.
“Walking along the beautiful white sand produces an interesting sound… akin to singing, or some would say, squeaking,” the CBC wrote on its website. “It's a phenomenon that scientists still don't completely understand.”


The singing beach may be caused by quartz sand – or something more mystical. Either way, the singing sands are one of numerous draws that bring visitors on PEI vacations and renting cottages in the provinces. PEI has more than 800 kms – or approximately 500 miles – of the warmest beaches north of the Carolinas. With more than 90 sandy retreats through the province, each is aesthetically unique, with its own characteristics and appeal, and each year tens of thousands come to slip off their shoes and walk for hours, or to take a swim in the pristine waters.
The province’s beaches have won raves from all over the world. The New York Times recently said the beaches in PEI are far “more inviting for swimming than its northerly latitude would suggest.” That means water temperatures reaching around 70 degrees – great for a refreshing dip on a warm summer day.




The British Broadcasting Corp. also recently gushed about the quality of the beaches at Cavendish, calling them, “a perfect symbol of the best of what the island province has to offer. It is beautiful. It's peaceful. It's clean. It's safe. It's soothing in ways you can't imagine; in ways you couldn't have imagined you needed soothing.”
The broadcaster continued: “There is nothing wild about Prince Edward Island or its famous beach. No one has ever been eaten while playing in the surf; and there is still enough of the mighty Saint Lawrence River in the seawater that your skin isn’t turned to parchment by the brine. It is a serenely beautiful place. The sunsets are not to be believed, and are never to be forgotten.”
What the BBC and the CBC have caught on to is something Canadians have long recognized: the beaches located throughout the province, and often in PEI national parks, have been a factor that draws visitors back time and again.
“The beaches are so nice, just close your eyes and imagine a very hot day and feel the refreshing wind blowing gently over your skin,” said Marie, a tourist from Bromont, Que. “That is what I call a natural spa.”
Others dream of returning. “PEI is the most beautiful, clean province we have seen, and the beaches are something us in Alberta only see in pictures,” says Lori from Edmonton. Lori says she’ll return for another PEI vacation soon. Such is the draw of PEI’s beautiful beaches. And one thing is certain – she won’t be alone.
