Marielyst
Marielyst is a small town and seaside resort some south of Nykøbing on the Danish island of Falster. Its long sandy beach has led to an extensive summer house development with some 6,000 holiday homes. As of 2022, it has a population of 726. Geography Marielyst is situated on the Baltic coast of Falster. At the end of the last ice age some 12,000 years ago, the melting ice left an long mound of clay, sand, and rocks extending from Idestrup to Gedser. Initially there were three islands, Langø, Bøtø, and Bøtø Fang, but these were later silted up.

Seaside Resort
A seaside resort is a town, village, or hotel that serves as a vacation resort and is located on a coast. Sometimes the concept includes an aspect of official accreditation based on the satisfaction of certain requirements, such as in the German ''Seebad''. Where a beach is the primary focus for tourists, it may be called a beach resort. History Seaside resorts have existed since antiquity. In Roman times, the town of Baiae, by the Tyrrhenian Sea in Italy, was a resort for those who were sufficiently prosperous. Barcola in northern Italy, with its Roman luxury villas, is considered a special example of ancient leisure culture by the sea. Mersea Island, in Essex, England was a seaside holiday destination for wealthy Romans living in Colchester. The development of the beach as a popular leisure resort from the mid-19th century was the first manifestation of what is now the global tourist industry. The first seaside resorts were opened in the 18th century for the ari ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
