One Long Beach

Title – One Long Beach
Date – September 2002
Location - Christmas Island - Kiribati

This is a sight that most beach lovers dream about when they close their eyes; a long isolated white sand beach sloping gently down into bright light blue shallows and a fringing reef keeping the waves at bay. To find the best locations in the world where you can be undisturbed for days can involve an extensive journey, but the rewards are certainly worth the effort.

But with isolation comes a threat. Here on Christmas Island in the South Pacific the threat is minimal because the culture, isolation and size of the island would make it relatively easy to identify any assailant, but in many other parts of the world travelling to somewhere so remote can place you at some risk.

Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop helps individuals develop their skills to enable them to act in a responsible and safe manner during their travel experience. Beyond The Blue specialises in low-impact personal safety techniques that are easy to learn, easy to remember and effective.
