New Zealand beaches
New Zealand has an exceptionally long coastline compared to the size of the country (over
15,000 km) which makes it almost the same size as the mainland USA's coastline. Even
though New Zealand is only about the same size as Colorado, the large coastline is possible
because it is extremely iregular and indented. New Zealand's coastline is packed with deep
coves, bays, intricate harbours, long sounds, and steep fiords. Its territorial waters stretch from
the sub-tropical through to the sub-antarctic.
Both islands tend to have better swimming beaches on their eastern coasts and the further
north you go. The west coasts of both islands are quite rugged with cliffs and more unsettled

Straitland
international trade routes for Vikings. Long
struggle of power with foreign intruders has left
ancient strongholds in Valjala, Lihula and
Soontagana. The churches in Muhu, Valjala, Mustjala, Karja and Kihelkonna are honorable and
elderly because Straitland was the one to bring Christianity to Estonia. The castle of Kuressaare is
still standing proudly, but in Lihula only ruins can be seen. The patterns of national dresses and the
churches bring memories of secret sign cultures of Medieval Times. Good knowledge of singing
and facility of speech of the people of Straitland have given Estonia a big number of writers and
poets.
Character of the landscape
The area of Straitland contains Pärnumaa county and some of the islands such as Saaremaa, Muhu,
Kihnu, Ruhnu and Abruka
