Red Sea Guide
The exotic Red Sea, its sparkling waters packed with tropical fish, is a scuba paradise. The amazing Red Sea Guide has a complete index of dive locations, as well as hundreds of links to dive operators, schools, resorts, travel agents, local maps and more. The popular diving safaris, where groups camp on the beach at night and dive during the day, sounds perfect to us.

Comprehensive details on pristine Honduran beaches and the travel links (choose "Lodging" for a few discoveries) are the main events at this site.

Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
Charming, but slightly amateurish offering (although they are re-tooling in 1999) from Pembrokeshire Coast National Park in the United Kingdom, an area of stunning natural scenery. Explore beach and trail info, then jump over to some of the local links. Don't miss the "Beaches Gallery" for some breathtaking photos of the Welsh coastline.
