we never see the sun in Scotland so sandy beaches would be wasted on us. rocky shores are fun to explore when you're a kid at least

We have loads of great white sand beaches!



It's just they're not terribly warm. So if you like watersports like surfing, windsurfer etc then they're amazing. If you like sunbathing? Less so.

I’ve heard that on some English beaches you can ride donkeys

In the 90s my uncle got chatting to a donkey ride owner and ended up lodging a donkey in his garden shed over winter. It was a small garden behind a terraced house, but in fairness it had already been home to a large Billy goat, several dogs, and three of my cousins at different times so the neighbours were used to it.

The owner actually stuck to his word and picked it up in spring, which wasn't at all a sure thing in pre-mobile days, and spared my uncle from having to dispose of a donkey somehow.

Beaches tend to have waves, else they'd be called a lake.

Weird they let him off easy because Madison, WI is consistently ranked as one of the best cycling cities in the country.

Also, the guy who did it was white and that path leads to a black neighborhood.
