Wilderness Beach in the second spot
Wilderness on the Garden Route is a popular holiday resort. Markedly, it started as far back as the late 1800s with a little stone farmhouse. The resort lies 15 km east of George, between the Kaaimans River and the Goukamma Nature Reserve.
Wilderness is renowned for its vast stretches of beach, its peace, and also the absence of wild, stormy seas. The long stretch of beach embraces the mouths of the Touw and Kaaimans Rivers.
Moroccan beach in top spot caters to disabled people
Particularly interesting about Dalia Beach in Morocco, is its initiative to allow people with disabilities that would usually hinder them from enjoying the waters, to be able to move in and out of the water.
There are rows of wheelchairs and a team of volunteers on the beach who drive wheelchairs on a ramp designed to help people with disabilities move in and out of the water, thus enabling people with special needs the opportunity to be part of those enjoying the ocean.
Once in the water, the wheelchair floats, and the volunteers surround swimmers to maintain their safety, as reported by Asharq Al-Awsat.
