I'm not going to lie here people. Frankly, I don't like the beach a ton. The sand that gets everywhere, the salt water, the salty air, the fat dudes in speedos their fat envelops all too quickly: it all bugs me. Then again, head to a site like I Love the Beach and even I can change my mind temporarily. They must head to those fancy European beaches where the chicks are hot and topless, because I don't see much like this in the USA where I go. This site boasts a lot of content, high-quality material, and all exclusive to boot. $25 will get you the door for a month, which is a little high but not too bad.
The goods:
- Large collection. Though most of the clips are pretty short, there are a ton of them to see here which is pretty amazing (especially considering it's all exclusive). Our last count put them at over 100 galleries, and over 650 videos if you can believe it. That's pretty sweet for such niche content.
- Mostly exclusive content. They have a few different shooters out and about in the world, and those guys are sending all their material here exclusively which is a nice deal. Most outdoors/beach content like this is from the same Mardi Gras parties from five years ago, so fresh material is awesome.
- Updates come 5x per week. On top of that, they're sometimes larger than expected with several additions each day. Large updates that come often, what a concept!
- Quality is better than expected. The video is a little choppy for me sometimes, like it's not smooth enough with a lower framerate or something (though I can't imagine anyone would actually lower a framerate). However, the quality itself is pretty good overall I'd say, especially for this incognito video shooting that goes on sometimes. They even added a few high-definition movies lately, which once they've had time to add more of will be awesome.
The bads:
- Content is split up in a lot of sections. They have different photographers, or types of content at least, including Eurobeach, SOFTB movies, Miami Beach Man, Beauties from the East, Euro Guru, and content from contributors. On top of that, some of them have both pics and videos (each in their own section), and an older videos and newer videos section as well. That helps them have so much content, but it's so split up on the site it's hard to get around.
- Some updates just vidcaps. I'd say the main content here is their video clips, so when some updates are just vidcaps, it's not nearly as fun of course. Thankfully this isn't the norm.
Conclusion:
Overall they've got quite a nice collection here. Of course you have to be ready to see some girls just posing on the beach naked from afar (or not even posing, sometimes they're just laying, smoking, talking, or coughing lol), but if you're into the content it's a great destination. The quality is pretty good, especially as they add more HDTV clips, there's a lot to see, they update often, it's all exclusive, and it's all very within the niche they promised.
