Beaches are not only great for lying on and doing water sports, and in fact one of the best ways of enjoying them is a classic beach walk. Here at iWantSun. Co. Uk, we’ve been searching the globe to find you the world’s best and most glorious beach walks, and here’s our pick of the top.
The Footpath of the Gods, Amalfi Coast, Italy
The name says it all really and you truly do feel up there to walking along this wonderful mountain coastal path, which offers some of the most striking views on the planet. The path begins at town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast. The whole walk will take you approximately four and a half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths, past sheer cliffs and shining blue bays.
Sydney’s Great Coastal Walk, Australia
Sydney’s coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the world. Here you have national parks, historic sites, steep cliffs, sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place. Sydney’s Great Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an incredible seven days to complete. However, if you’re not up to doing the full walk, then there are many different parts of the walk that you can do right in the city. Walking from the city’s famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve of Bronte Beach takes just an hour, which takes in some top scenery.
Great Ocean Walk, Australia
The Great Ocean Walk stretches 104 km along Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road, located on the southern coast of Australia, from the resort town Apollo Bay to the magnificent Twelve Apostles. The Twelve Apostles are the area’s famous stone landmarks which stand out like giants from the sea. The walk passes through a range of landscapes and sights, from national parks, famous surfing spots and deserted beaches, to wild coastlines, cascading waterfalls, lush forests, historic lighthouses and ghostly shipwrecks. Day walks and shorter three-hour walks such as the Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.

Mum,it’s me.Hopefully,this Mothering Sunday you will get to hear those three words.I will,of course,try to phone you.I hope we will be able to speak for the allowed 10 minutes.But I suspect many inmates will be using the phone,so if I don’t call and if we don’t speak,then this is what I would have said:
It’s not your fault that I am here.I know that deep in your heart you have questioned whether my current circumstance is somehow your fault,if the reckless stupidity of my past is somehow a failure on your part.It is not.Only one person is to blame,only one person should hurt — me.You have always taught me that when the room goes dark,you can wait for the lights to be switched back on or you can search in the dark and turn the light on yourself.You are my light.You always have been and always will be.There is nobody I admire more,nobody I have strived harder to please in my life,which is why my current failure hurts me so much.
I am so sorry that I will not be there to see you,but I want you to know that now,as always,you are here with me.In my darkest hours,and in the coldest loneliness of my past few months,my mind has so often wandered to the past,to when it was you and me — and I have been able to smile.Yours is the strength that I draw upon.
A parent’s job is to make sure that they pass on the best of themselves to their children.You have done that.It is the inner you in me that will get me through this.
I have failed you so epically,but you have never failed me.If I think back to the tears I shed when Dad left,all those years ago,I see you through their misty glaze.You holding me and you telling me we’d be OK,and we will be.We are and always will be the best team.
Childhood heroes such as footballers,actors and rock stars are clichéd.If the job’s done right,a child’s heroes should be their parents — you are mine.The strength you showed after the divorce from Dad to find your biological parents,to go to university and get your teaching qualifications,to begin your life again,is the strength that I draw on now.It is the belief in myself,it is the belief you have in me,that tells me that once I am released I can and will rebuild my life.I will make you proud again.I will make you happy to have me as your son.Yours is the will that gets me through every day.
I don’t believe you can judge a person for the mistakes they make,as we all make them,but you can judge them for what they do afterwards.And after this,when it is all over,you will still have a son with the same hopes and dreams.They have not diminished.If you can dream it,then you have to believe it can happen — right?
So this Mothering Sunday,please think back to that morning in the 80s,the first Mother’s Day without Dad,when a six year old me got up early and made breakfast for you.Do you remember it?Could you ever forget?A slice of bread a doorstep thick and a wedge of cheese equally dense.You didn’t have to eat it,but you did,chewing every dry mouthful.I know now why you forced yourself — because it had been made with love.Well,things don’t change this year — this letter is that bread and cheese (it sure has plenty of the cheese!).
I love you so much.I am sorry I have let you down,but you have taught me that we will always pick ourselves up and become better than we were before.Thank you for everything and this year,more than ever:
Happy Mothering Sunday.
Love,your son
