Amazing Pools Around the World
Every true-to-the-core, seashore-loving beachcomber is always drawn to the water. That means when it isn’t possible to be at the ocean, one of the next best options is the pool. Here are a few of my favorites!
Some are located in view of the ocean, giving you the best of both worlds at once. Others are nowhere near the seashore, but you still enjoy the luxury of crystal clear water and glorious sunshine, hopefully with your closest companions.
Wherever the location, all of these pools have interesting features that make them a step above the ordinary. So grab your sunscreen, take your phone or tablet out to the backyard with you, and pretend you’re basking in the sunshine next to one of these amazing pools.
I hope you enjoy drooling over them as much as I do!
