Every Friday, Google Moderators highlight the best posts they found to celebrate the amazing discoveries Local Guides like you are sharing on Connect. These are posts detailing past experiences that we hope will serve as entertainment and inspiration for your future bucket list. This week: loving the ocean, exploring rock formations, and more.
@AngieYC : Local Guide @indahnuria is a diving enthusiast who loves the sea and ocean. She recently shared a great post, “For the Love of the Ocean,” in honor of World Ocean Day. Although the global celebration was on June 8, Indah feels that every day is Ocean Day for her. In the post, she shares her experience with the ocean from early childhood in Indonesia to adulthood in different countries. She teaches her children to love and protect the ocean, too! But Indah is worried about the future. That’s why she takes part in many awareness initiatives and gives us simple tips on how to keep the waters clean. Find out what they are in her post.
@InaS : My favorite post this week is “A day out to Whitstable” by @HeyitsNicho . In it, the Local Guide tells us about a one-day trip to Whitstable, a seaside town in southern England. The smell of the sea, the bright sunshine, and a lovely boat ride made this a fun day out. They discovered great places to have a drink and grab delicious fish and chips to enjoy by the sea. Whitstable seems like a colorful town to explore—and it flies the rainbow flag, too! So, if you’re looking for quick getaway ideas for your bucket list, don’t miss @HeyitsNicho’s post. There’s a lot to see.
@BorrisS : I found @user_not_found 's post “El Torcal de Antequera: Un mar de formas erosionadas en la roca…” delightful. It’s about the Local Guide’s visit to the El Torcal de Antequera natural reserve in Spain. The place is famous for its limestone rocks and their curious shapes, and we can see how beautiful they are in Maria’s amazing photos. Some formations have names like “The Sphinx” and “The Screw,” but they remind Maria of fantasy worlds and pancakes! Her post also includes facts about the area and the hiking trails it offers and helpful information about her camera settings. If you’re someone who loves rocky sceneries and photography, then this post is for you.

Another exciting set of Friday Favorites @AngieYC , thank you and congratulations of course to @indahnuria , @user_not_found and @HeyitsNicho ! What a beautiful place to dive Indah! Having been to Bali several times, I wish I had of known about Kelingking Beach on Penida Island. It looks and sounds amazing. I have to say Maria that the El Torcal de Antequera natural reserve is a place that I’d love to visit. Spain is so diverse and has so much to offer. The seaside town of Whitstable also sounds like a perfect place to visit and explore @HeyitsNicho , especially the castle there.
Muchas gracias @AdamGT !! El Torcal de Antequera es uno de los lugares mas fascinantes de España, aunque como bien dices, este es solo uno de todos los que se pueden encontrar en este bello país. Si algún día decides venir a visitarlo, no dudes en consultarme rutas y lugares de interés tanto natural como histórico o cultural.
Muchísimas gracias @AngieYC y @BorrisS por destacar mi post como favorito del viernes!!! muy feliz por coloborar en Connect y ayudar a encontrar tanto lugares espectaculares de mi país, como rutas fotográficas ideales para los que amamos la fotografía en general, y sobre todo la de viaje.
I’ve been to beautiful Spain a number of times and in fact spent several months there but I have never been toEl Torcal de Antequera. In fact, I didn’t know about it so you have definitely sparked my interest
First of all I would like to thanks @AngieYC for the post and I would also like to mention the awesome photos of Kelingking beach of Nusa Penida island captured by @indahnuria .
Hope someday i can visit this place too i love to see this kind of nature that our Almighty God given to us, we need to keep it clean and clear for the next generation
