Tropical beach? No, Sardinia Bay on a late winter day

Now here is one to rub salt into some of my friends in the northern hemisphere that often comment on how a warm winters day over here is on par, if not better, than their summer days.  Walking along Sardinia Bay on a stunning late winters morning with the water looking like its should be somewhere on a tropical island.  Only problem is that the water isn't quite swimable yet.  It did look very inviting though.
