SUN PROTECTION


You may have thought it is totally unnecessary to maintain your body and get that bronzed look until you hit the beach. When you did, all that you got were stares not because you were looking so hot, but because your skin was sickly white. How does one get the tan the right way without affecting our skin or health?



Well the answer to this is not simple and no amount of exposure to sun can actually be good for skin unless it is not for just a few minutes. You need to make sure that you apply sun block evenly so that your chances of being burned is reduced.

Guys usually do not apply sunscreen and that makes things really bad. You must apply sunscreen on all parts of the body and if you decide to sunbathe naked, you must apply sun block everywhere evenly. Make sure the sunscreen is SPF 15 and above.



The consequences of not applying sun block every 30 minutes could be premature ageing of skin, wrinkling, skin cancer and others. Guys, in order to look sexy and hunky like the ones here must take care of their bodies, consume vitamins, apply body lotions and sunscreens and make sure over exposure to sun is avoided.



If you follow these procedures, you would have the sexiest looking male body ever. You would get all the guys and girls you want and would be the bronzed star of the beach.



2020 WOMAN BEACH TRENDS:

 ONE PIECE SWIMSUITS

 FOR SUMMER !!




If this summer’s prevailing woman swimwear trends tell us anything, it’s that the more out of the box your suit is, the better (tan lines be damned). Thankfully the options for the spring/ summer 2018 swimwear trends include one and two pieces with an expansion of imaginative styling. The rise of the one piece is in full force as well, and each of the designs is stunning with options to flatter everyone.
Love it or not, but one piece swimsuits are here for this summer 2018! I want to draw your attention to some trendy beach styles and select your one and only piece. Some of you might say this kind of swimwear is made for those ladies who don't wanna show their abs, but who gives a damn? That's a perfect swimsuit for wearing this year, as many brands offer us amazing, sexy designs. One piece is back in vogue with some fabulous updates and details. One stylist said me once: the less you show more sexier and sophisticated you are.



Stars already love these fearless looks, from cut-out one-pieces to one-shoulder tops . And that’s not all — scroll through to shop the top seven swim trends now to look really cool all summer.





This look both covers up and reveals just enough, making it one of the sexiest looks of the season. The most popular come in the form of side cut-outs like Sofia Vergara’s palm print suit and center cut-outs, which show off the top of your abs.

Don't know why, but it seems to me one piece styles are much sexier than bikinis. Remember, I mentioned that some say one-pieces are made for those who don't do sports, but what about legs? No matter what, one-piece swimsuits require killer legs, which means you have to do sports, kind of paradox. You might ask, why so many women felt in love with one-pieces? It's obvious- this look is versatile, it comes in awesome designs, colors and prints. You might say this staple is not for having sunbaths on the beaches? Well, you can use it for doing sports, going to spas, etc.



High-waisted two pieces have been hailed as a vintage godsend among the summer 2018 swimwear trends. This trend has been building steam and gaining ground more reliably for the past few years than any other. High fashion options have been shown but it never really took off and picked up to official trend status until last year and thankfully this will continue to be a summer 2018 swimsuit trend.



2020 MEN'S

 BEACHWEAR

 TRENDS

Men's Speedo is back and tighter than ever !


The long swim shorts of the 'nineties were longer than any since the turn of the last century, so it seems only natural that they would go the other direction eventually, seeing as men are unlikely to wear mid-calf length swimwear, for reasons of practicality. Plus, men's legs are sexy.

Are you tired of boys in board shorts? You want to see or show more skin on the beach? Well you maybe in luck! The Speedo maybe making a coming back to a beach near you!
The reasons we say this is because the London Telegraph is reporting that there is a 400% increase in people searching for “Speedo” on the net.

This could be a sign that the swim briefs are making a come back. In the States, outside of competitive swimming the market was primarily gay and it was always a small percentage of the market. The general population never really wore them, not like in other countries

American culture is under the delusion that the female form is more aesthetic, while men are shamed into wearing baggy board shorts to cover the “I-don’t-want-to-see-that” parts, also known as the male bulge. My firm opinion is that this double standard needs to end. Comparing the male and female form is like comparing apples and oranges. If you think the female body is just ‘inherently’ more aesthetic, think again. You were raised to think that culturally. Does the female form exhibit angles, sharp lines, and strength? Not really—these are attributes of the male form and are wholly aesthetic in their own right. Who perpetuates this misguided double standard on male-female body aesthetics? Again, I believe there is both a minor and major component to this question.

 The minor component lies with women. I’ve read some blogs and listened to some women state they’re either/both “intimidated” by the male bulge or complain they’d rather it is “left to the imagination” what’s between a guy’s legs. Well duh! Of course they’re going to think that way. If young girls grow up in a culture that shuns the male bulge, they’ll naturally inherit that ‘intimidation’ or aversion to it. In other words, girls are not hardwired from birth with a distaste for the male bulge. Our society teaches them to think that way.

When we see young men wearing board shorts extending past the knee, we see a male who is ashamed of his body. Do we dare ask: is he ashamed of his penis too? Probably. But beyond this, we see a male who lacks confidence. Don’t be inhibited to choose swimsuits that, yes, embrace your male bulge. Don’t let wussy people shame you into doing otherwise. 

Europe, Brazil and Australia have all worn speedo regardless of sexual orientation. I think the maIn problem here in the states is they were deemed “gay.” So the general population never fully embraced them.

The Speedo is making a huge come back. Overall, 74% of beachgoers worldwide reported finding bathing suits like the Speedo to be "acceptable." This figure was highest in France (91%),  Italy (87%), Germany, austria (94%) and spain 91%);

It may harder for americans to believe that, in these same countries, sporting your classic board shorts on a trendy beach nowadays would be considered a tasteless choice. Where it's particularly unpopular is Norway, where only 40 percent approve, followed by the US (57 %) and Japan (60%).

If you plan on holidaying in Spain , Italy or France, Speedos are de rigueur. We always praise dressing for the occasion, and in this case, the location is key.

 It appears that the Speedo, in its proper geographical context, leaves little room for questioning.  Meanwhile, the survey results show a growing acceptance towards body-hugging Speedos around the world: This year, nearly three-quarters (74%) of beachgoers said that Speedo-style swimsuits for men are acceptable -- up from 65% last year.

 

Exactly what is it that makes the Speedo such a desirable swimwear option for guys in these countries? You might be surprised:
Speedos allow for a greater range of motion: Swimmers credit the Speedo for allowing greater movement in the water versus carrying the additional weight of a bulky trunk. 


Speedos offer a better tan line: A farmer’s tan on your legs is not the hottest look. Trunks that fall past the knee create awkward tan lines and do not allow for full tanning coverage.

Speedos dry faster: Speedos dry much faster than trunks because they use less fabric and are often made of quick-drying nylon. 

Why are Americans so averse to men wearing speedos?

 

America's puritanical background is the reason. I would say the discomfort comes from the fact that, more often than not, you can see the full-on outline of a man’s genitals when he wears a speedo.

 

 It is a fact that some Speedos reveal the size and shape of the guy's penis in certain lights, even to the point of being able to detect whether he is circumsized or not. 

 You can’t see that in bikini bottoms for a woman, just due to the fact that women don’t have visible external genitalia. It’s all pretty compact. My guess about why no one is fazed when women dress in little clothing is because they’re aren’t really showing much off. Bikinis are padded; they hide the breasts as well as anything. Bikini bottoms don’t really show much. It’s all pretty covered. Europeans tend to be more secure with their body image and with showing skin in public.

 

Obesity rates for some countries are also lower so tight-fitting swimwear might be more flattering on a larger part of European citizens, although this situation certainly seems on the way out if you see current trends. 

Beach PORTOROSE








Gulf of Trieste - Portorose (28 km. from Trieste) is known as  ‘glitzy’ coastal town, with palm trees, pricey hotels and fancy cars parked on the streets.

Portorose has it’s own man-made beach. Not the best beach in the world, but it’s good enough to lie your towel down on a lounger and soak up some sun.

Croatia Travel Blog: The largest peninsula in the Adriatic, Istria is shaped like a triangle, the lower two sides of which have a coastline. Here are the best beaches in Istria that you simply have to check out this summer.

THE BEACHES OF ISTRIA

 Istria is also beautiful and absolutely worth a visit all year round. However, because of its beautiful beaches and the crystal clear sea one could say that in summer it gets even more beautiful and attractive for tourists from all over the world.

If it’s an all-over suntan, total self-acceptance, or for just a quick skinny dip with a friend, a nudist beach might be what you are looking for this coming summer.
When it comes to lounging on the beach in the buff, turns out that Germans and Austrians are the most comfortable with their birthday suits, according to a worldwide survey of beachgoing habits around the world. In fact, Germans emerged the most likely to have spent a day sunbathing nude for the third year in a row in Expedia's 2014 Flip Flop Report. New this year, Austrians tied with their German peers: amongst both groups, nearly one in three (28%) respondents reported having spent a day sunbathing buck naked.

Some people are a bit disappointed with the fact that the eastern part of the Gulf of Trieste  doesn't abounds in sandy beaches, but you will often hear same people later saying that this is maybe even better because this is the reason sea water is so clean and crystal clear. 

And when we say crystal clear, we really mean it.




From the end of April to the beginning of October the triestine Riviera offers more then 6 months to enjoy under the sun.

> TRIESTE WEATHER AND CLIMATE



Marina Julia (Monfalcone)

Where Mediterranean Sea meets Central Europe

The coast along the Gulf of Trieste is well known for the sandy beaches from Bibione to Marina Julia on the western half and for the  indentedness and variety of the Coast between Duino and Punta Salvore to the east,  characterized through stones and rocks. Very soon You will become aware of the beauty and the charm of the Istrian coast which has a lush submarine life and where every beach is different and certainly represents something worth exploring.

Lignano Riviera

Lignano Riviera Thermal Park

The coast from Trieste to Istria attracts visitors with cliffs and magnificent panoramic views. Besides the unique cities of Venice and Trieste you can already see the Alps on the horizon – therefore at the Adriatic Sea you can expect one of the most diverse holiday destinations in Southern Europe .

Portorose, San Bernardino ( 28 km. from Trieste)


Eastern Adriatic is for a reason referred as the cleanest Mediterranean sea.The eastern Adriatic deepens from the clear shallows to jade green and cobalt colours of the deeper waters. Not many people can determine the color of the Adriatic sea. Sometimes it's dark blue, sometimes greenish-blue. The fact is that the sea, depending on the time of day and the angle of the sun's rays overflows into a thousands nuances. However, it is always beautiful and unique.
Bring, or buy when you get there, a pair of plastic water shoes. Maybe it doesn't look the best, but it will help you moving around the rocky and pebbly beaches or getting in or out of the water. In many places, especially isolated beaches, you will find sea-urchins, which is another good reason to have some sort of a foot wear. But be glad when you see sea-urchins, it means the water is absolutely clean because they live only in especially clean waters.




Marina di Aurisina/Nabrezina -  Beach Le Ginestre 9 km. from Trieste

The coast around Duino and the Riviera Triestina differs markedly from the long sandy beaches of  the Gulf of Venice. White limestone cliffs fall steeply into the sea and there only a few real beaches. Even more beautiful are the narrow coastal roads which run from Trieste to Duino. Duino itself has a beautiful little port with some restaurants and a small pebble beach and the small town is surrounded by a picturesque cliff. High up on the cliffs stands the magnificent Castello di Duino, which is owned by the Thurn and Taxis family.



Sistiana/Sesljan Beach La Caravella 13 km. from Trieste

We strongly advise you to become familiar with the beach and the depth of the sea at this spot prior to junping into it: the shimmering of the sea and the changes of high and low tide can be misleading so that jumps into shallow spots can sometimes result in heavy injuries.



Portoroz/Portorose - San Bernardino

 


The indentedness of the coast and the variety of the undersea result in a very lush sea flora and fauna so that divers, professionals as well as non professionals, will certainly enjoy it. The bringing up of shell remnants or strange stones is a frequent pastime and such things are the dearest souvenirs which will always remind you of your summer holiday at the Adriatic Sea. At this point, we would also like to advise you not to bring up living organisms or any kind of protected sea species, since you would jeopardize the submarine eco-system. Please, also be careful and do not swim out too far into the open sea while diving and do not dive without a signal balloon which shows your location to fishing-and speedboats.


Portorose, Grand Hotel Kempinski



Miramare ( 4 km. from Trieste ) Marine Reserve

 

Free beaches

A free beach - spiaggia libera - is usually signposted. It generally consists of a narrow stretch of beach close to the nearest road access, and is identifiable by the absence of beach infrastructure, (regimented sunbeds etc.) and by the presence of clusters of sunbathers lying on towels. There may be a bar nearby, or a stall selling cold drinks. Some free beaches are provided with showers and public toilets.

 



Porec/Parenzo, Laguna Verde / Zelena Laguna (69 km. from Trieste)



Pula/Pola, Beach Ambrella  110 km. from Trieste

Swimming in upper adriatic

Swimming is a very popular activity and a way to cool down on a hot summer's day. Busy and private beaches generally have lifeguards dressed in red, and signs indicating safe depths. Some beaches have dangerous currents, and every year Italy has a significant number of deaths from drowning. The presence of other swimmers isn't enough to guarantee the safety of the water. Make sure you understand any signs displayed, and ask for advice if you have any doubts.

Tides are not very high, nor can the waves be compared to those of the UK's rugged Atlantic beaches. There are, however, other threats lurking in the waters. Recently vast quantities of algae led to beaches being closed along western coast. Jellyfish are common, and their stings can be painful.

Decency

Normal european standards of dress do not apply on the beach, although full nudity is kept for dedicated beaches which are generally unofficial and remote. However, as soon as you leave the beach, you should cover up. Swimming costumes, bikini tops and bare-chested men will give offence once you're away from the beach.

Pay for comfort

For a comfortable beach stay, visitors could do as most Italians do, and hire a sunbed (lettino) and parasol (ombrellone). Seaside hotels often have a private beach, sometimes across a road from the hotel. Others may have arrangements with local private beaches. Note that even as a hotel guest you might still be expected to pay extra for the beach facilities: check in advance if it's not clear. Some beach huts and sunbeds are hired.e

Hot weather

If you've experienced a Mediterranean summer, you'll already appreciate that the heat in Italy goes beyond anything experienced in northern Europe.If you're not used to hot climates, it's important to change your thinking. Coming from England, I used to maximise my time spent outdoors, thinking "I mustn't waste the sunshine". But then I learned that it might be sunny every day for months, and my goal became to avoid the heat, not seek it out. Southern european heat isn't mildly thrilling, like the British version. Here it is often inconvenient, can put vulnerable people at risk, and should be taken seriously.


For a 14 kilometers (from Duino to Miramare) Trieste coast is made of rocks jutting out over the sea ("falesie"); at their foot, beyond the Sistiana bay, there are some suggestive bays isolated from the traffic of mass tourists.

Portopiccolo in Sistiana  - 10 km. from Trieste

 

The Kvarner/Quarnero beaches ( 65-75 km. from Trieste ) are also picturesque and various, there are sandy, small-pebbled and rocks beaches.


Strandcafè in Abbazia/Opatija , 69 km. from Trieste




Abbazia

 

Most beaches are of the "swim at your own risk" variety, and if you ask the locals at your location they would be happy to point you towards the best waters.

The sun can be relentless between 12 noon and 4 in the afternoon, so the best time to swim anywhere is between 9-11 AM and 4-8 PM. The sea is usually very calm in the morning hours, and as a rule the afternoon breeze brings some waves of varying sizes and intensity.ity.

 


Pula/Pola, Beach Hawai ( Verudella) 110 km. from Trieste

Hawaii Beach is located in the tourist resort Verudela Beach in the cove below the hotel Park. It is a pebble beach and it has a gradual entrance into the sea. The sea border line has been set into the sea. The beach is perfect for families with small children who can with no worries have fun in the shallow water. The adrenaline will find a place for themselves in the nearest vicinity - the high cliffs from where you can dive into the sea.

KEEP CLEAN !

Bring out everything that you bring in, especially trash. It is important to leave sites as clean or cleaner than you found it for the next person. This especially applies for isolated beaches, so if you don't take out your trash, the area will be spoiled, since no municipality is likely to do it. Also, strip cigarette butts from the ground. No one likes sunbathing in an ashtray. Respect and protect the wildlife.
