Here in Wales we are blessed with some of the world's most beautiful beaches on our doorstep.
From sandy shores to rugged coastline, there's no better place to be.
Unfortunately we are unable to make the most of them at the moment as we must stay home to stay safe as part of the coronavirus lockdown rules (unless, of course, you are lucky enough to live right by one of them and are therefore able to take a socially-distanced stroll as part of your daily government-sanctioned exercise).
But it doesn't mean you cannot start dreaming about the beaches you want to visit once lockdown is over.
Here we've picked 35 of our favourites - no easy feat - but they are truly outstanding.
But please remember to stay home and stay safe for now and enjoy flicking through these images until we are allowed to visit the beaches again in the future.
