Countries where there are oceans. Where better to relax by the ocean
I'm a happy man. Not everyone gets to look at the ocean from its two shores, and for a couple of months. Just a few days ago, I was standing on the shores of the Pacific Ocean and eating red caviar. I'll get to California in two months, and I'll be looking at the Pacific Ocean in the same way. Unless I'm going to chew on a burger.
The ocean was very cold, I was even afraid to come close to it. But he is mesmerizing, he is much stronger than the sea. Maybe I got into my head illusions about the greatness of the ocean, or maybe not. See and judge for yourself.
1. Black ocean sand mixed with white snow. Creamy chocolate ice cream. 
2. Dream job or stubbornness of a fool? A tractor drives along the deserted and deserted coast and shovels snow into the ocean, and then quickly, quickly backs up, escaping from the surf. Why is he doing this?

PS: In two months, when I reach the shores of California, I will write the exact same post about my
After hard working days, I want to give up everything and wave over the horizon. Silence. Water. Rest on the ocean. Hammock under palm trees, cocktails and sunset. So where to go?

The nearest ocean is in Portugal
Portugal seems to be specially invented for those who love warmth, luxury, and the ocean. And so that all this was not far from flying. And so that in addition to the resorts themselves, there were also normal human settlements in which normal local residents live, and not just tourists and hotel staff. So that you can walk along the narrow streets, go to a local pub, drink good local wine ...
Portuguese resorts are designed for gourmets. People who are so used to luxury that they simply do not notice it. Therefore, on the one hand, they just need a jacuzzi with a parabolic antenna sticking out of every corner of the hotel, and on the other, since luxury for them is a natural environment, they like to escape from it for a few hours. Plunge into the life of places that, it seems, have not been touched by time. Hear the ringing of bells calling for morning mass, mingle with the crowd of locals entering the church. Walk to the harbor, watch the fishermen pull their catch out of boats onto land, maybe even exchange a few words with them, clap their tongue approvingly, expressing admiration for a particularly large tuna fish. And without giving a damn about the abundant buffet, bursting with many delicious dishes in anticipation of your only connoisseur, have breakfast with a portion of fried sardines bought from a local merchant. To overpay him a little in excess of the requested amount, so that he too has the same good mood in the morning as you do. On a morning like this, nothing tastes better than this simple Portuguese food.
After that, it's time to return to the hotel, pull on your shorts and go to the beach, to the ocean. Plunge into the Atlantic, warm your mortal body in the sun. Approach the pier and whistle to the crew of the yacht rented the day before that you are ready to sail.
The fact that Portugal is the outskirts of the continent has its own charm. In it, as in any province (and Portugal is often called the province of Europe), one rests much better than in the centers of civilization. Moreover, the benefits of civilization created there do not disturb the unhurried rhythm of life in the boondocks. Although, in the literal sense of the word, you cannot call Portugal a backwater. The country is ancient. Here and there, there is a medieval church or a Moorish fortress. Climbing deep into any town, it is as if you find yourself in the Middle Ages with numerous artisan shops.
The Algarve resort is much less ancient than the surrounding towns and villages. Back in the sixties, a foreign tourist here looked like an outlandish bird, it is not clear for what purpose it flew into the ocean. The Algarve has been under construction in recent decades, making it one of the most modern in Europe. In recent years, it has gained fame as one of the world's tourist centers.
The Algarve has been little developed by Russian tourists. More precisely, not mastered at all. Unlike their neighbors the Spaniards, the Portuguese were not seriously interested in the Russian market for a long time. And only two years ago they realized it. Portugal began to prepare for the arrival of the Russians.
To begin with, the hotel staff began to intensively teach the Russian language. Local travel agencies began to urgently acquire a staff of translators from Russian. Having studied the tastes of our tourists a little, some hotels even began to build their own casinos. So we can say that for this season the Algarve is in every sense ready for the expected landing of Russian tourists. And from June 13, Aeroflot's A-310 will start flying here weekly. On this plane, the travel agency "Academservice" offers to go on vacation to Portugal.
Although the Algarve is a rather expensive resort, Academservice offers tours starting at $ 599 including flights, hotel, transfers, insurance and breakfast. More breakfast in a Portuguese hotel is not needed. Of course, if you want, the tour price will also include lunch and dinner at the hotel. But I repeat, there is no particular sense in this, because it is cheaper to eat on the side. Plus, then you will have every opportunity to appreciate all the delights of Portuguese cuisine.
First, it is very cheap. Secondly, it is very abundant. And for lovers of fish and "seafood" Portugal is the very place where you need to come to gorge on seafood for the year ahead. Fish dishes are especially delicious in the Algarve. Here they invented their own way of cooking it. The fish, along with onions, tomatoes and bell peppers, are placed in a hermetically sealed thin copper pan. And it is stewed without adding any fat. The dish just melts in your mouth. Even if you are not a fanatical fish lover, you should definitely try it.
If you prefer active relaxation to lying on the beach between meals, then know: this is very welcome in the Algarve. There are many tennis courts and golf courses for you (by the way, if you have not yet mastered this aristocratic game, you will be taught it in one of the local golf clubs). For those who like to shed those extra pounds and pump muscles closer to the water, there are all kinds of sea sports offered. Inveterate fishermen, as well as those who just dream of really fishing once in a lifetime, can go deep-sea fishing. And romantics can rent a yacht. With or without a crew.
And of course, they took care of small children here too. Special playgrounds and water parks have been built for them. About older children too: there are many discos in the Algarve, both in hotels and outside them. By the way, not only teenagers and couples in love dance at discos, but also German tourists of quite advanced age. No wonder - age is not a hindrance to dancing. It is unnecessary to talk about bars. By itself: where the enlightened Europeans have a rest, bars are built on the basis of "two establishments for one soul of a vacationer." Casinos have already been mentioned - they were built, they are building and will be built. There are plenty of places for everyone to spend their hard earned dollars. As usual in good casinos, besides gambling tables and slot machines, there are catwalks here. On which every night a variety of shows are arranged to entertain the darlings of fortune.
There is also room for those who like to drink a glass of good Portuguese port while watching the dances of pretty Portuguese women, without mixing these two pleasures with materialistic interests - that is, they do not like going to the casino. And you don't even have to go far: many hotels host entertainment programs every night.
After dancing and swimming, you can devote some time to cultural leisure. Academservice offers about ten excursions along the Algarve coast. If you went to Portugal, so to speak, by gravity, then excursions in Russian would cost you a pretty penny. Although local guides have begun to master the Russian language, only a few have mastered enough to conduct excursions. The partner of Academservice has such guides. And since "Academservice" has many groups, the cost of the excursion is not high. Those who wish can be sent on an excursion to the capital of Portugal, Lisbon, and even to the Spanish Seville (Portugal, like Spain, is part of the Schengen area, so a separate visa is not required to visit Seville). And, of course, there are excursions with visits to wine cellars, and there, of course, tasting. Portugal is one of the centers of winemaking. In addition to excellent fortified wines, with which many people quite rightly associate the country in the first place, very tasty dry wines are produced here.
Sea (that is, ocean) cruises in the Algarve are also organized at the proper level. As it should be - with a survey of rocks, caves, swimming and dining on the ocean. There is even a cruise on the Guadiana River, which runs the border between Portugal and Spain.
And after Lisbon, golf, fishing and cruises, you should lie in the shade under an almond tree and dream about how you will come to these blessed lands next year.
The Atlantic Ocean is considered one of the largest and most voluminous in size, namely the second largest after the Pacific Ocean. This ocean is the most explored and developed when compared with other water areas. Its location is as follows: from the east it is framed by the shores of North and South America, and in the west its borders end in Europe and Africa. In the South, it passes into the Southern Ocean. And on the north side it borders on Greenland. The ocean differs in that there are very few islands in it, and the relief of its bottom is all mottled and has a complex structure. The coastline is broken.
Characteristics of the Atlantic Ocean
If we talk about the area of \u200b\u200bthe ocean, then it covers 91.66 million square meters. km. We can say that part of its territory is not the ocean itself, but the existing seas and bays. The volume of the ocean is 329.66 million square meters. km, and its average depth is 3736 m. Where the Puerto Rico trench is located, it is considered the deepest ocean depth, which is 8742 m. There are two currents - North and South.
Atlantic Ocean from the north side
The ocean border from the north is marked in some places by ridges located under water. In this hemisphere, the Atlantic is framed by a jagged coastline. A small northern part of it is connected to the Arctic Ocean by several narrow straits. Davis Strait is located in the northeast and connects the ocean with the Baffin Sea, which is also considered to be part of the Arctic Ocean. Closer to the center is the Danish Strait, which is less wide than the Davis. Between Norway and Iceland, closer to the northeast is the Norwegian Sea.
In the southwest of the North Current is the Gulf of Mexico, which is connected by the Florida Strait. And also the Caribbean Sea. Many bays can be noted here, such as Barnegat, Delaware, Hudson Bay and others. It is in the north side of the ocean that you can see the largest and largest islands, which are famous for their fame. These are Puerto Rico, world famous Cuba and Haiti, as well as the British Isles and Newfoundland. Towards the east, small groups of islands can be found. These are the Canary Islands, Azores and Cape Verde. Closer to the west - the Bahamas, Lesser Antilles.
South Atlantic Ocean
Some geographers believe that the southern part is the entire area up to Antarctica. Someone defines the border at Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope of two continents. The coastline in the south Atlantic Ocean is not as indented as in the north, and there are no seas. There is one large bay near Africa - the Guinean bay. The farthest point in the south is Tierra del Fuego, which is flanked by small islands in large numbers. Also, you cannot find large islands here, but there are separate islands, like about. Ascension, St. Helena, Tristan ─ da Cunha. In the extreme south, you can find the South Islands, Bouvet, Falkland Islands and others.
As for the current in the south of the ocean, here all systems flow counterclockwise. Near the east of Brazil, the South Passat Current forks. One branch goes north, flows near the northern coast of South America, filling the Caribbean. And the second is considered southern, very warm, moves near Brazil and soon connects with the Antarctic current, then goes to the east. Partially separates and turns into the Benguela Current, which is distinguished by its cold waters.
Atlantic Ocean attractions
The Belize Barrier Reef has a very special underwater cave. They called it the Blue Hole. It is very deep, and inside it there is a whole series of caves, which are connected by tunnels. The cave reaches 120 m in depth and is considered unique in its kind.
There is no person who does not know about the Bermuda Triangle. But it is located in the Atlantic Ocean and excites the imagination of many superstitious travelers. Bermuda shorts beckon with their mystery, but at the same time they frighten with the unknown.
It is in the Atlantic that you can see an unusual sea that has no shores. And all because it is located in the middle of a body of water, and its boundaries cannot be framed by land, only currents show the boundaries of this sea. This is the only sea in the world that has such unique data and is called the Sargasso Sea.
