Pristine Beach

Pristine is a lovely adjective, so crisp and pure and sparkling, somehow there is the glint of cleanliness, freshness....

This is not a common word these days. It means: primitive, pure, untouched, unspoiled. Some synonyms for pristine are: immaculate, perfect, faultless, flawless, innocent, natural, spotless, pure, unblemished, unspoiled, wholesome.

Pristine comes to us from the Latin word for primitive.
