Huge crowds flock to local beaches
SAN DIEGO - Huge crowds flocked to local beaches on Saturday to enjoy the warm, sunny weather.
Kayakers near the La Jolla Cove took in the scenery while taking advantage of calm waters.
Dozens of others waded near the water's edge at the cove or crowded on the sand across at La Jolla Shores.
San Diego lifeguards tell 10News that Saturday's crowds were large for this time of year. Fortunately, calm waves have kept rescues to a minimum.
"The beach has been really busy today with the crowds and a lot of people in the water because the water has warmed up," said lifeguard Sgt. Troy Keach. "We're lucky the surf is kind of small so it's more preventive lifeguarding and we're not making a lot of rescues, but we've got a lot of activity out here."
10News did catch one rescue by SeaWorld sea life experts. A 300-pound sea lion stranded near Boomers at La Jolla Cove will now head to SeaWorld to be rehabilitated.
"We got a call from lifeguards that there was a stranded adult male California sea lion in distress and so we came down here to assess the situation found out that he did indeed look sick and we just rescued him," said Heather Ruce, who is with SeaWorld San Diego. "We're going to take him back to SeaWorld, we're going to rehabilitate him and then return him to the wild."

Brown algae can still bring odors to North Shore beaches
For more than 100 years, beachgoers in Lynn and Nahant called it the smell. It came from a rare algae that settled and decomposed on local beaches. For decades, scientists were puzzled about how to eliminate the odor. Finally, in 2008, the Department of Conservation and Recreation decided to send out work crews with front-end loaders to scoop up the algae every morning from April to November.
That plan worked for five years. But last July, the odor returned for about six weeks when the brown algae, known as Pilayella littoralis , was allowed to cake up on Nahant and Lynn beach. As it decomposed in sand under the hot sun, the algae, which can rise up like a bronze carpet on hundreds of yards of sand, released a sulfide odor akin to the smell of rotten eggs.
DCR Commissioner Edward M. Lambert Jr. said he is confident that the smell will be contained this summer. He attributed last years reoccurence to a change in staff that led to a 10-day gap in algae removal.
We had lost one position, Lambert said. It was a retirement, and it happened to coincide with someone who was out on vacation at the same time. And the staff got behind.
By late August, DCR crews had caught up with the algae bloom, removing thousands of pounds of algae each week. Lambert said the state spends $150,000 each year on removal.
Robert Tucker, president of the Friends of Lynn & Nahant Beach, called last summers odor a hiccup, but said it was an example of how the algae can change the areas quality of life if not contained. He said the lobby of his oceanfront apartment building smelled for several days.
You cant play Russian roulette with it, Tucker said. You have to get it daily.
Last summers smell reminded many of the decades when the odor was taken for granted by those who live by the sea. Bathers stayed away from the water and sand. Drivers closed their windows, and residents did the same. Some, like Suzanne Ryan, occasionally held their breath.
It was pretty bad, said Ryan, a Lynn resident who walks regularly along Lynn Beach. I had my Mom with me, who is 89, and she was just aghast at the smell. It was making her nauseous.
Brian Quade of Swampscott considers the algae an afterthought when he rides his bike along the beach. I realize its algae, and its a natural thing, but it just stinks, he said.

Wikileaks says Goa beaches were targets for Lashkar in 2008
The cable, dated February 2008, was drafted by David T. Hopper, then consul general at the US consulate in Chennai
News | by IANS
GOA, INDIA: Goa's beaches were in the cross hairs of suspected Lashkar-e-Taiba terror suspect Nasir Raizuddin, being tried for the 2008 Bangalore serial blasts, WikiLeaks has claimed citing a recently declassified US diplomatic cable.
The cable, dated February 2008, was drafted by David T. Hopper, then consul general at the US consulate in Chennai. Hopper quotes top police officials about other areas identified by Riazuddin before his arrest in Karnataka.
According to Hopper, Raziuddin told the police that along with accomplices from the banned Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), he had identified sites across the country for a series of bomb blasts.
And "beaches in Goa frequented by foreigners" were one of those specifically identified as targets, according to the diplomatic communique.
Goa has been put on high alert since the 26/11 terror strikes in Mumbai, mainly because the state's beaches attract over 2.6 million tourists annually, of whom half a million are foreign nationals. The sizeable number of Israeli tourists to the state is another reason why security agencies believe Goa is on the terror radar.
The Goa government has, however, consistently denied receiving any specific intelligence inputs of a potential terror strike.
Among other targets on Raziuddin's list were the Andhra Pradesh Police headquarters, and Infosys campuses in Bangalore and Mangalore, says the confidential cable numbered 08CHENNAI55.
Then Karnataka additional director general of police Shankar Bidari, superintendent of police of Davangare district in Karnataka Ravendra Prasad, and state home secretary Vatsala Watsa have been quoted in the cable. Hopper also said that the Karnataka Police had shared intelligence with US officials.

Dirty Beaches' Discomfiting Soundtrack Drenches 'Waterpark' in First-World Dread
New LP 'Drifters/Love Is the Devil' arrives on May 21
NOWNESShave launched an open call for their Shorts on Sunday series which premieres experimental work from emerging filmmakers and paired the announcement withWaterpark, the directorial debut fromcinematographer Evan Prosofsky, whose previous credits include music videos by Grizzly Bear, Bat For Lashes, Grimes, and Toro y Moi. The nearly 17-minute short offers a meditative look at World Waterpark, one of the world's largest indoor water attractions (which also happens to be located inside the largest shopping mall in North America: Alberta, Canada's West Edmonton Mall), and features a score composed byexperimental soundman Alex Zhang Hungtai, a.k.a. Dirty Beaches.
Prosofsky's Waterpark drifts at a slow pace more lazy river inner-tube lounge than high-speed water slide death-drop and Dirty Beaches' blinking, ambient soundtrack lends the piece an alien quality; something as common as mundane as watching a girl eat French fries at a mall food court suddenly feels like a clinical look at convenience and consumerism in the lonesome, crowded West.

Cleaning up Chicago’s wide, romantic beaches
Volunteers for an Adopt-A-Beach program are headed to Chicago-area beaches to clean up trash and debris starting this weekend.
And those beaches are bigger than usual this year due to record-low water levels over the winter. After hitting an all-time low in January, Lake Michigan is creeping back up, but U.S. Army Corps of Engineers projections show the lake could still dip below its 1965 low water records without a lot of rain.
That said, its been raining a decent amount this week, which has a different potential consequence for beach sweepers: combined sewer overflow and runoff can mean more trash along the shoreline.
Louise Kulaga, an eighth-grade science teacher at Gurrie Middle School in LaGrange, is taking a group of middle-schoolers to clean up 12th Street Beach and North Avenue Beach this spring. Cleanups involve picking up trash, recycling, conducting basic sampling and testing for bacteria in the water. Shallow waters along the shore could lead to higher bacteria counts this summer.
Kulaga says the low water means a wider beach, but not necessarily more trash. That depends on weather conditions, and how recently theres been a beach party. In past years, she and her students have already seen a lot.
Theres always some little bit of drug paraphernalia here and there, she said. And diapers. The back seats of a car. A totem pole, a piece of a totem pole.
But thats not even the best of it. A couple years ago they found a green wine bottle with a message in it. Kulaga convinced the principal, who was out with the group, to be the one to read the message to the kids. She was a little worried about what it might say. But it turned out to be rated PG, PG-13 at worst.
It was a little dramatic, it was about someone breaking up with a boyfriend or a girlfriend, we couldnt quite tell, she said. And they were purging their feelings into Lake Michigan.
Teams of volunteers will start combing Chicagos wide, romantic beaches this weekend; anyone interested can join in public cleanups through the Great Lakes Alliance.

Beyond Seminyak: the beaches of Canggu
An excess of people in Kuta and Seminyak can put off some of the tourists who come to the island for a less festive experience rather than the great party atmosphere offered by those areas. Fortunately, visitors looking for quiet only have to embark on a short journey beyond Seminyak to find a long, quieter line of sandy beaches.
The name Canggu actually refers to a group of villages located in northwest Seminyak, which is administratively part of Badung regency. However, since the beaches are located near the villages, people simply started to call them the Canggu beaches.
Despite having smaller crowds, this coastal village cannot in any way be considered a hidden gem nor would you have go off the beaten track to get to the beach. The infrastructure has already been built. In fact, Canggu is a favorite place for expatriates to settle down on the island; you can find plenty of foreigners who have been or soon will be living on the island for a few years here.
Getting to the Canggu area is really easy when driving from Seminyak. You can take the main route by going to Jl. Raya Canggu. This road is the backbone of the area, and every beach available in Canggu is just one left turn away. Alternatively, go to Jl. Batubelig in Seminyak and go all the way west until you find a three-way intersection with a big sign for the Akasha Hotel before taking a left turn to a smaller road that will lead you to the beaches.
Berawa Beach will likely be the first beach that you will discover if you drive down from Seminyak. While beach chairs are available, there is an instantly noticeable lack of commercial activities in the form of stalls and hawkers. Swimming in the area is good fun if you like playing in the surf because strong waves are a common thing at this beach. Its sand bottom is adequately deep. Combine that with the strong waves and you will have great fun being tossed and turned. But it isnt as scary as it might sound: Children can have fun here, too. Lifeguards are available as long as you stay in the red-yellow flag zone.
While Berawa is also a good place to surf, you will find more people riding the waves at Batu Bolong Beach. From Jl. Raya Canggu, you will see a green road sign that leads to the place. The beach itself is quite similar to Berawa, but you will see more surfers floating on their boards far out at sea waiting for the big breaks to ride on.
In the middle of the road between Jl. Raya Canggu and Batu Bolong Beach, you will find a small intersection with a road leading to Echo Beach. Along with Batu Bolong Beach, Echo Beach is one of the beaches in Canggu with the most visitors, possibly because this area is the most developed, made evident by wall-to-wall villas and construction.
Fancy beachside restaurants are available for you to have a meal with great view of the sea. On the weekends, the place has become much more like its southern counterparts by hosting loud parties.
Luckily, for those that wish for a quiet beach, Canggu still has some tricks up its sleeve. Beaches that are further out to the west are relatively quiet, such as Pererenan Beach. If you are going for a beach-a-thon by visiting the all the beaches in Canggu starting from the afternoon, then Pererenan Beach will give you a nice grand finale with its sunset view.
Walking along the coastline of Canggus beaches this week, I felt a calming afternoon breeze and saw the sun on the horizon turning a dark orange. Children ran towards their parents after a day of playing in the waves and sand.

Concerns over dead birds on beaches
14 April 2013 Last updated at 11:15 ET
Dead birds have been washed up on beaches in Devon and Cornwall, the RSPCA has said.
It said it had received reports of birds being washed up at Port Wrinkle and Whitsand in Cornwall, as well as Wembury and Heybrook Bay in Devon.
More than 100 birds were found dead on one section of beach between Downderry and Seaton, in south-east Cornwall, on Sunday morning.
Dog walkers have been told to keep their pets away.
BBC reporter Jane Chandler said RSPCA staff were "taking away sackfuls of dead birds" between Downderry and Seaton.
Dead and alive birds were also reported covered in an oily substance on a beach at Bantham in south Devon.
The deaths follow those of scores of other birds covered in a "sticky substance" being washed up on the south coasts of the counties in the past week.
More than 90 birds covered in the substance, mostly guillemots, washed up between Mevagissey in Cornwall to Kingsbridge in Devon.
The RSPCA said its West Hatch wildlife centre in Taunton, Somerset, was still looking after more than 60 birds.

Tripologist: island beaches full of south-eastern promise
Batu Ferringhi beach in Malaysia. Photo: Alamy
We are flying to Germany and want a stopover for five to eight days, preferably in south-east Asia, ideally not far from a beach and beautiful nature. We have three children (ages five, nine and 10). We'd prefer no additional flights and definitely no car hire. If possible, no big resorts either. - T. Allen, Footscray, Vic.
Nowhere dovetails perfectly with your requirements, but a couple of places come close. Penang is a one-stop flight from Melbourne via Kuala Lumpur, and you can stay out at the beach at Batu Ferringhi. There's a national park with walking trails just a little further up the coast, and you can get to some of the more remote parts of the park by boat.
There are lots of food stalls along the beach, so if you like Malaysian food, and especially the nonya cooking that is a hybrid of Malay and Chinese, you have plenty of opportunity. On the downside, most of the places to stay are large resorts. I stayed a couple of years ago at Lone Pine hotel (lonepinehotel.com). The price is reasonable and this might suit you well.
The other candidate is Phuket. This is also a one-stop flight from Melbourne, this time via Bangkok. There's not too much in the way of unmolested nature in close proximity, and all the resorts are big. If this sounds possible, the place to look for accommodation might be around Rawai or Kata beaches rather than Patong. Of the two, Penang would be my choice.

What is your advice regarding the best round-the-world tickets for travel to Britain, starting and finishing in Brisbane but travelling back via Canada to take in some skiing? Travel to start mid-December and returning in mid-January. - C. Amey, Casino.
If you are planning to stop in just Britain and Canada, a round-the-world ticket might not be best. The two leading airline partnerships, Star Alliance (staralliance.com) and One World (oneworld.com) offer their own RTW tickets but fares are not always good value, particularly if you make just a few stops.
Using One World's RTW booking tool for the dates indicated with stops in London and Vancouver en route back to Brisbane, I get $5054. Using Momondo (momondo.com) for the same stops on the same dates, all up I get $3242 flying with the cheapest carriers. I'd book by sector with the airline offering the best price/timing combination.
