“North America, a Beach Destination!”

In the rest of the world we are not generally known for our beaches and as a beach destination. Except for the beaches of Florida, Hawaii and the southern part of California, we are known for skyscrapers, industry, corn fields and the Grand Canyon. But we are a beach destination. From Cape Cod near Boston with Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket Islands, to the southern tip of Florida there is one continuous beach. The Gulf of Mexico coast from Brownsville in Texas to Key West in Florida has mostly wonderful beaches. So, the choice is miles and miles of empty, romantic beaches or beaches with all facilities that resort towns have to offer.

Canadians from the Eastern Provinces have discovered the sun drenched beaches of New Jersey and the Carolinas.

Bostonians use “their” Cape Cod as the summer recreation playground. From fancy to basic, from “Kennedy” exclusive to “MacDonald” common, this area offers it all.

New Yorkers stream to the beaches of New Jersey and Long Island from the fancy Hamptons with its million dollar mansions to Jones Beach, accessible by train from Manhattan. There is space for millions of sun worshippers and still enough space to find lonely, empty stretches of shores.

The coasts of Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia are a beachcomber and fishermen’s paradise. Whether it is the lonely beauty of the Outer Banks or the hustle and bustle of beach towns such as Myrtle Beach these superb shores attract thousand of Americans in summer! The highly developed tourism infrastructure adds to the value of these areas. If one had too much sun, there is always Charleston, Savannah, Norfolk or Atlantic City to visit!

The superb beaches south of Corpus Christi on the Gulf of Mexico are worth a visit, even in winter! East of New Orleans to the coast near Tallahassee, are some of the finest beaches of the Gulf. From exclusive and fancy to very affordable, all tourism services are represented. Many Americans have discovered these shores and enjoy a day at the beach and a night in a casino.

Enough said! Next time your client complains about polluted and crowded beaches, tell them that you know beaches that are pure, clean and affordable in America.

See you at the beach!

Sincerely, B. Fischer
