From: Anonymous Collector

Hotel, Beach and Cabana Club - San Juan, Puerto Rico

 

The hotel was built in 1961. The Internet says "La Concha" was closed and sold in 2004. However, it seems it still operates in a changed/new version.

Hel Peninsula

Country: Poland
from: penpal

Hel Peninsula, Poland is the place where you can find clean, sandy beaches, Baltic Sea, fishermen, and a perfect spot for summer holidays. I used to go there from time to time as well.

Posted in Puck (a town in Kashubia, Poland). The place got its town rights in 1348.

Alvor, Portugal

Country: Portugal
from: penpal 

I was surprised when I got the postcard, surprised that the pen-pal was able to travel to Portugal in the times of COVID. Later, I learned that she had managed to go there (no virus in that area then) and come back home in November 2020, a few days before it became impossible, and the border was closed. Good, that she could enjoy her holidays and did not get grounded there.

 

 

Alvor is a seaside place and a fishing village in the very South of Portugal.

Władysławowo, Poland

Country: Poland
from: penpal

 

A very pleasant place by the open-sea, with sandy beaches, usually crowded in the summer. You could buy there fresh fish straight from a fisherman's boat.

Sopot

Country: Poland
from: Polish Lady Abroad

Sopot, situated by the Baltic Sea (actually the Baltic Bay), together with Gdynia and Gdansk it is part of so-called the Tricity. Sopot has the longest wooden pier in Europe. Every year the pier is partially demolished by the sea in the winter and renovated in the spring.

Sopot is a small city but it is very popular among tourists who enjoy its unique atmosphere, sandy beach and the opera built in the woods (among others).

If you still have not been there, the city is worth visiting. From Sopot, you can go by commuter train to Gdansk (not far) and to Gdynia as well.
