People are looking for clean water and clean sand. Then, people, I think, are also looking for beach-type weather. Sunny beaches with warm water. So Canadian beaches won't make it, except that I've been up to New Brunswick and went swimming there, and it was as warm as some Virginia beaches.
He doesn't get into the Great Lakes or other freshwater beaches. Too unlike ocean beaches, on the whole, Dr. Beach feels. The currents and waves are different, they don't have tides or (usually) rip currents in fresh water, and, oh yeah, no jellyfish or sharks. He hasn't rated the Caribbean yet, but hopes to some day.

As people become aware fish is this really amazing source of healthy protein, they're going to start asking more questions about where it comes from," says Taras Grescoe, the Montreal-based author of a devastating new expose called Bottomfeeder: How To Eat Ethically In A World of Vanishing Seafood.
"There's a trend of depletion of species and fish stocks that needs to be reversed, and if we don't, we're endangering the world seafood supply.
"Basically, you're the agent of doom at the table, ruining people's dinners," the Montrealer says, relating how people don't want to hear how their popcorn shrimp comes from pesticide-saturated ponds that give rashes to Indian aquaculture workers.

There's an increasingly popular attraction in Riviera Maya that doesn't involve swimsuits, sunscreen, or waterfall massages.
