BEAUTIFUL ISLAND

Yosemite Falls

Yosemite Falls is the highest measured waterfall in North America. Located in Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada of California, it is a major attraction in the park, especially in late spring when the water flow is at its peak.

The total 2,425 feet (739 m) from the top of the upper falls to the base of the lower falls qualifies Yosemite Falls as the sixth highest waterfall in the world, though with the recent discovery of Gocta Cataracts, it appears on some lists as seventh.

Fulmer Falls

Fulmer Falls is the second waterfall located in the George W. Childs Recreation Site in Dingmans Ferry, Pike County, Pennsylvania, United States of America. The falls are downstream from Factory Falls and upstream from Deer Leap Falls on the Dingmans Creek. At 17 meters (55 ft), it is the largest of the three falls.

Toronto

Toronto is the largest city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario. It is located in Southern Ontario on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario. A relatively modern city, Toronto's history dates back to the late 18th century, when its land was first purchased by the British Crown from the Mississaugas of the New Credit. The settlement was later established as the Town of York and proclaimed as the new capital of Upper Canada by its lieutenant governor, John Graves Simcoe. In 1834, York was incorporated as a city and renamed to its present name. The city was ransacked in the Battle of York during the War of 1812 and damaged in two great fires in 1849 and in 1904. Since its incorporation, Toronto has repeatedly expanded its borders through amalgamation with surrounding municipalities, most recently in 1998.

Lake Louise

Lake Louise is a hamlet in Alberta, Canada within Improvement District No. 9 Banff (Banff National Park).

Canadian rocky mountains

The contiguous national parks of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho, as well as the Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks, studded with mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and limestone caves, form a striking mountain landscape. The Burgess Shale fossil site, well known for its fossil remains of soft-bodied marine animals, is also found there.

Sandbanks Beach

Sandbanks Beach is undoubtedly the BEST beach on the South Coast .. some would say in Britain ! A holder of the European Blue Flag for a record 20 years, it is a beach you can visit in total safety and be sure you and your family will have a good time.

Sandbanks beach is of the finest quality with fine golden sand. The beach meets all of the European standards and in 1994 was the only beach to be awarded 100% by the Tidy Britain Group.

The water is clean and safe, although it may sometimes be cool ! The beach with its fine, golden sand slowly and gradually slopes away, ensuring it is safe for even the smallest of children. There are Lifeguards on duty ( 1 May - 30 Sept.) and there is also a First Aid post if you should have an accident.

There is a large car park at Sandbanks and also on road parking. The charges made in the car parks are quite high although you are parking right on the beach so you don’t have far to carry all your beach goodies. As you would expect when the weather is good, the car parks fill up very quickly.

Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine

Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine is one of two municipalities forming the urban agglomeration of Îles-de-la-Madeleine in Quebec, Canada. It is part of the Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine region and the population is 12,291 as of the Canada 2011 Census.

As part of a municipal reorganization across Quebec, the seven communities of the Magdalen Islands amalgamated to form the municipality of Les Îles-de-la-Madeleine on January 1, 2002. However, after a referendum in 2004 the community of Grosse-Île decided to split from the municipality, effective January 1, 2006. Although Cap-aux-Meules likewise voted to split in the same referendum, it did not actually do so.
