Beaches
Rented Black Hawk Down the other night, in which a soldier says of the Red Sea beaches near Mogadishu, "The beach is so beautiful, makes you feel like it'd be a good place to travel to, if it weren't here."
What are the three most beautiful beaches?

By the way, great movie. I believe that it was filmed in Morrocco.

NO WONDER! I watched it with my roommate, thinking it was filmed in Somalia, and I remember telling him, "Mogadishu looks just like Casablanca." I guess that's because it WAS Casablanca...

My #2 choice has to be Burleigh Heads
My #3 is Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island (near where we concluded our honeymoon). There is no better white silica sand beach anywhere in the world. Just a little hard to get to, and to spend any tome there.

I think it really depends on each individual person. I might like a beach better because of the experiences I have had there. However, I see shows on tv all the time that talk about the best beaches in the world. Here's a link to one of them...

Whitehaven Beach looks gorgeous! The more I troll around FT, the more I can see myself getting on a plane and traveling the 26 hours or so to Australia/New Zealand.</font>

Make the effort and spend the time to get down here and experience the wonders of some of the best beaches around.
