Beaches are not only great for lying on and doing water sports，and in fact one of the best ways of enjoying them is a classic beach walk.Here at iWantSun.Co.Uk，we've been searching the globe to find you the world's best and most glorious beach walks，and here's our pick of the top.
The Footpath of the Gods，Amalfi Coast，Italy
The name says it all really and it is fantastic to walk along this wonderful mountain coastal path，which offers some of the most striking views on the planet.The path begins at the town of Bomerano to charming Positano along the UNESCO World Heritage area of the Amalfi Coast.The whole walk will take you approximately four and a half hours to complete and pass over narrow rocky paths，past sheer cliffs and shining blue bays.
Sydney's Great Coastal Walk，Australia
Sydney's coastline is one of the most beautiful and diverse in the world.Here you have national parks，historic sites，steep cliffs，sparkling beaches and quiet bays all in one place.Sydney's Great Walk runs all the way from Barrenjoey in the north to Royal National Park in the south and takes an incredible seven days to complete.However，if you're not up to doing the full walk，then there are many different parts of the walk that you can do right in the city.Walking from the city's famous Bondi Beach to the sweeping curve of Bronte Beach takes just an hour，which takes in some top sceneries.

If you're a sports fan，you have definitely heard the word “hat trick”．
Based on a definition given by the Oxford Dictionary，a hat trick is essentially an achievement，by either the offensive or defensive player in a game，who achieves a performance by completing three goals，within a give time or within the fixed rules，completing which would earn you a “hat trick”．This could be the scoring of three goals，in games like soccer or the taking of three strikes like in baseball.But certain restrictions must be followed.
The word was first used in 1858 in the game of cricket.Back in those days，the fans would hold a collection of proceeds(收入) for any player who performs extraordinarily in a game，and that collection is awarded to the player.So when a bowler named H．H.Stephenson took three wickets(板球中的三柱门) in a row with three successive balls，the observers bought a hat and gifted it to him along with one of the three balls，which later spread to other sports events like soccer and became a tradition.
So，we covered the “hat” bit.But what about the “trick”？Back in the 19th century，magicians performed the famous hat trick that included pulling rabbits and doves out of a top hat.That became known as the “HatTrick”．
Now let us see what meaning it took on in soccer (football).
