Cocoa Beach: Watch out for Loggerhead Turtles!

Cocoa Beach, found at 28°19′52″N 80°36′47″W, is along Central Florida's subtropical Atlantic Coast.  Cocoa's tidal range is about two and a half feet. 

Cocoa is groomed by a tractor-towed beach rake.  The machine removes cigarette butts and small litter from the sandy shore.  However the beach has unique considerations with respect to raking due to loggerhead turtle nesting that takes there.  A recent Florida Today article commented on the rake.  http://www.floridatoday.com/article/20090124/NEWS01/901240317/1006

Oh yeah, and Cocoa is home to Ron Jon Surf Shop.

Casey Pollard   Hanalei Bay Beach is located in Kauai, Hawaii.  It is one of the ten best beaches in Hawaii to visit.   It is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clean, white sand.  The latitiude is 22degrees12'41.28" North and the longitude is 159degrees 29'53.83"West.  The tide range is heavily affected by weather, but on average it is 0.51 feet at low tide (sunrise) and 1.84  feet at high tide (sunset). Also the wave height is 7-8 ft (this also fluxtuates depending on weather). Related Article: http://www.kauaiexplorer.com/kauai_beaches/hanalei_bay.php

Bondi beach is located in Sydney Australia and is well known for its great surf, big waves, and large crowds. It is a modern and trendy coastal resort which makes it a popular place for people to visit. The longitute and latitude are 33degrees 53' 12.51" S and 141degrees 15' 50.84" E. The tide range from low to high can be anywhere from about .40m to 1.6 m, but it varies from day to day. It is a wave-dominated beach with meso-,macro-, and mega- tides. Sydney is ull o Permian-triassic sediment but more specifically Bondi Beach contains sedimentary breccia injected with basalt.
Recently, Bondi beach has been in the news because of recent shark attacks. The beach was previously closed when a 33 year old man was bit. The beach has reopened now but people are still in danger of a shark attack.

The Quillayute River, WA is located on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington, US.  The river enters the Pacific Ocean at the beach of La Push.  La Push is home to the Quileute Native American tribe, who may be one of the oldest tribes of the Pacific Northwest. The Quileute's history goes back to the Ice Age. The descendents of this tribe are the majority of the people inhabiting La Push today. Their beaches are famous for their excellent ocean fishing and are surrounded by a thick forest that is home to many different types of wildlife.  The surf is deemed as average but not much exploration in this area has been done.   La Push is more of a historical, barely touched beach than a vacation or surf spot.

Matiatia Bay, New Zealand (36.7833° S, 174.9833° E)
 

           Located at approximately 36 degrees South and 174 degrees east lays Matiatia Bay.  This bay is located to the west on the northern island (Waiheke Island) of New Zealand. New Zealand can be considered roughly the same size as Colorado, and has a very temperate climate, but with sharp regional contrasts. New Zealand is very mountainous, and has few coastal plains. At low tide, Matiatia Bay tide level has been as low as  .63 meters and at high tide it has been as high as 2.57 meters.  Its wave temperature approximately ranges from 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit and has won some renown as a sort of “lovers retreat”.  The northern island sediment is mostly sand with some broken shell and fine silt. It also has a small component of gravel less than 80 cm beneath.

About:

Close to the hustle and bustle of the popular Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach resorts, Fenwick Island is a beach town located on a peninsula in Southern Delaware. It had been settled for a long time, but wasn't charted until 1953 because residents were worried that nearby Ocean City, Maryland would expand their development pressures on the little town. Fenwick Island is largely undeveloped to this day, and has been made into a state park.

Sunset Beach, on the north shore is considered one of the best beaches in
Hawaii. It is perfect for people to get away to but also has awesome waves for
surfers. In the winter the waves get even bigger, which is why a large number of
international competitions for surfing have been held here. It is considered one
of the best surfing beaches in the world. In the winter though, it can be very
dangerous for an inexperienced surfer to attempt these waves because of how
big they can get.

Dr. Trembanis,

I have successfully posted my blog, however, I was unable to attach my picture of my beach to the blog. I am attaching the picture to this e-mail (along with my writeup about my beach), and if there is a way that you could assist me to add my picture to my blog I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you in class tomorrow!

This popular beach is approximately a kilometer long. Typically during the weekends in the summer, this beach attracts roughly 40,000 visitors. One of the many attractions of this gorgeous beach is the excellent surfing conditions. The waves range from calm, quiet waves to very large, surfable waves. However, just days ago at Bondi beach a surfer was attacked by a shark for the first time in 58 years, resulting in the beach being temporarily closed.
At either ends of the beach are two rock pools. Also, there is a six kilometer coastal walk that allows for incredible views of the ocean. In addition, this beach includes lively restaurants and nightlife.
