All this talk of beaches brings to mind a statement made by one
of my business partners to his new bride. She was raised in Rhode Island
and upon visiting the beach for the first time in his native Texas
remarked how much she missed the beaches of home. His reply..."Just put
some rocks in your shoes and some ice cubes in your suit and you'll feel
right at home." I think the marriage went downhill from there.
I spent a few weeks one summer on the coast of Maine and while
the beaches weren't much for lying around they do make for great
photography. On the other hand the beaches of my native SC are great for
lying around but somewhat less photogenic (gray sand, gray turbid
water). Guess I've been looking at them too long.

Nah. It's all relative. I grew up in the south, where beaches were
very wide, very soft and blindingly bright. There are more rocks at
the mouth of New Harbor than on the entire coast of both Carolinas.
Besides, everyone knows the "real" beaches in Maine are the creation
of the Army Corpse of Engineers, who truck in the sand at night and
remove the boulders that grew late in the day, when boulders grow.
