Welcome to Beach Reddit!

Here is an example of my work, a thyme leaf magnified 40x

I want to do a series of photos of microscopic views of sand from all over the world. I need tiny samples, something that you can fit in a standard envelope. Just a pinch of grains in a sealable ziplock sandwich baggie (or smaller). Of course, please let me know what beach the sand came from.

I'll be happy to give you credit however you want it and, of course, I'll be posting a gallery when I'm done. If you're interested, send a sample to:

Thanks!

Was wondering if anyone had tips for putting on sunscreen on your back when at the beach alone, I frequent a lake beach near my home and I got a bad back burn between my shoulders! Thought I got the area with a spray sunscreen but I did not. Any advice on how to make sure I get it on my back to prevent sunburn? I really don’t want to ask a stranger lol

Please help me decide. Will be travelling to Boracay this June with my spouse and 2 kids (3 and 8yrs old). Which is better to stay at? Sunvilla Beachfront Hotel in S1 or Marzon Beach resort in s3?
