Photo: Fire Sky Pool & Beach

What is a beach doing in Scottsdale?  The Fire Sky Resort pool has an area with a sand beach, so children can build sand castles, under the protection of tall trees that shade the beach from the direct sun.

And with the ambiance of the beach at a resort, I don't think that sunbathers have to worry about people running past them kicking up sand, or throwing frisbees into people lounging around.  Things are more refined here.

And, of course, you can be served food and drinks from the Resort staff, not stand in line on a boardwalk for fried beach food.

This week we are showing photos of the animals and people of Tanzania on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site.   If you have not been on a photo safari, come take a look, as our posts will show some of what you would likely see and experience.
