Sea Swimming
I have a problem with the sea: it has spoiled me. I have lived beside some of the world’s most beautiful swimming coastlines, from Bahía de las Águilas in the Dominican Republic and Providenciales to Boracay and Raja Ampat, so my bar for a swim is high. When I give a place this tag, every moment of it is pure pleasure: the way in, the swim itself, and the return to dry land.
