I was at a beach the other day where there were stones and rocks instead of sand and it was uncomfortable to sit or lie using my towel. What about a beach towel that has a thin inflatable area inside. When inflated it provides a soft cushion for such situations.

Did you read on the news that a British couple who had sex on a public beach in Dubai was arrested, charged and found guilty for having illicit relations and showing public indecency? They got fined $367 for it and escaped jail. There you go. The fine sets minimum price for the permit. It will start at $367 and you'll add to it the price for escaping jail. I bet the market for such permits to foreigners and locals is huge in the Middle East. It can also become very lucrative. They only thing is to choose beaches that Somali pirates don't use. Otherwise your permit won't help you escape the pirates joining your act And holding you hostage for ransom!

I've read this story about 40 containers that were washed ashore near Devon, England from a stricken cargo ship and I found it worth sharing. In some of these containers were a lot of expensive, ready to ride BMW motorcycles! The interesting part is that according to international maritime law it is perfectly legal to salvage property from a ship wreckage. So people stormed to the beach before the police arrived and drove off on 50 free new BMW motorbikes!!! Police are now trying to get them back but so far it seems the "thieves" had every right to clean the beach. (read more)

7:20 p.m. - 8:05 p.m., Greece

I had the most memorable evening swim complemented by a very touching and beautiful gesture. A love note on the beach meant for me.

I arrived at the beach on a beautiful sunset around 7:20pm. The place was empty and calm. I could only see two girls a few meters to my right lying on the beach facing the sunset and apparently taking looks at me as I made my way into the water. (read more)

What if women's boobs could be adjusted by remote control? Inflate/deflate depending on the situation. Wanna run? Deflate them. A trip to the beach or out on an important date? Inflate! Very practical idea to make women's boobs the right size for every occasion.

If someone offered you $10,000 to wear Borat's lime green "mankini" swimsuit for a day on a CROWDED beach, would you do it? Apart from wearing the swimsuit, you won't be allowed to dress in his character, eg wear a wig and moustache, sunglasses. You won't be allowed to tell anyone why you're wearing it other than to say that you like wearing it. (read more)

Sunscreen in open area swimming pools is usually banned because the oil or cream will leak into the water. So what about a new type of water-repellent sun-screen that sticks to the skin and never leaks into the water? When you think about how much chemical sun-screen is leaked into sea water every year from people that go to the beach to swim, you then appreciate its eco-friendly use outside the swimming pool as well (read more)

I was thinking lately about pollution and the tons of rubbish that are left out of the dumbs, mainly because we are soooooo insensitive and inconsiderate...Anyway...the only solution, because even if we become environmentally sensitive and protect nature of our rubbish, it'd STILL be too much to handle...So, I thought of a better world...A dream world...A world where we could ALL throw our garbage out of the windows or the balconies without getting afraid of messing up other people's balconies, clothes or heads! And all this because the garbage would...not fall down...but instead they would lead to the space!!! Can you imagine if there was a way to do this???How wonderful would be to take a walk on the beach,the park, the woods without looking at rubbish??? (read more)

They call them organized beaches in Greece, "Organized" obviously being an euphemism for stealing your money, an act of organized charity you are made to feel grateful for. Just to enter the premises and sit under an umbrella you pay 40 Euros!! That's Asteras in Vouliagmeni. You hope your 40 Euros buys you something of substance, like coffee, drinks, sunscreen, magazines or whatever will add some comfort to your "organized beach experience"? Forget about it. The only thing your 40 Euros will get you is pretentious posing, thin Attica air and the promise of seeing Vandi or other Greek celebs only Greeks who pay 40 Euros for the umbrella entry know. No thanks! I rather look at myself in the mirror and since I'm a REAL celebrity pay a normal 5 Euro price for umbrella and coffee which is what all those cheap celebs pay anyway in return for luring the crowds to their pretentious "organized" dupe.

I just read about a fatal accident that happened with a tourist that paid to swim among sharks. Many companies lately offer clients the opportunity for uncaged encounters with tiger sharks and great hammerheads, particular species which are known to Attack humans! They basically throw fish and meat into the water to attract a group of sharks and they then dive into the water to get very close to them. This is a dangerous activity. (read more)
