Beaches & Adventure Insider

Lauren Tjaden

Hang gliding is my passion, and in 2006, I helped the U.S. Women's Hang Gliding Team win silver in the World Championships. An author, ultimate adventure lover, beach bunny and sand snob, I've visited almost every beach in Florida and can't wait to explore more. Join me as I flip-flop across the Sunshine State, sharing the softest sand, sweetest shores and a boatload of adventure.



Melbourne Beach Medicine Movie

August 17, 2010

Related Tags: Beaches, Melbourne

Isak Dinesen quoted that the cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea.


I can say without any hesitation whatsoever that of those three, the sea is the medicine I’d choose to inject a little fun, romance or relaxation into my life. After all, it’s pretty hard to feel glum or stressed when a sight like this greets you in the morning.


Check out the little flick I took of laid-back Melbourne Beach a week ago and you’ll see what I mean!
