15 Beaches That Everyone Should Visit

I've always loved the ocean; the sound of the waves crashing against the shore and the smell of the water floating to surround me as my feet sink into the warm sand. But since I live in the mountains in New York, I don't get to see it that often. In recent months, I have come across pictures of some beaches that I definitely plan to visit when I have a chance.

1. Pfeiffer Beach, Big Sur, California

2. Cavendish Beach, Prince Edward Island, Canada

3. Black Sand Beach, Vik, Iceland

4. Rockaway Beach, Pacifica, California

5. Balos, Crete, Greece


6. Playa Negra, Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica

7. Porto Covo, Portugal

8. Pink Sands Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas

9. Angaga Islands, Maldives

10. Muriwai Black Sand Beach, Aukland, New Zealand

11. Whatipu Beach, Aukland, New Zealand

12. Hyams Beach, New South Wales, Australia

13. Kaihalulu, Maui, Hawaii

14. Papakōlea Beach, Hawaii


15. Ramla Bay, Gozo, Malta


The main reason I want to visit all of these beaches is because I want to see all the different colored sands. I'm fascinated by the different colors caused by various situations, such as high iron content, olivine crystals, calcium carbonate, quartz and manganese deposits, and even volcanic activity. These beaches are all on my list of places to visit, only to be close to the ocean again and get to see the many different colored sands around the world.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
