Okay, where is the terminal moraine? The place is cold enough to not have plants but warm enough to have calciferous beaches. Or the shelled animals grew before the last glaciation...hmm.
Sydney got electricity in 1904 but not known for marine life, nor healthy fish, nor white sand. Avalon isn't white. Bondi doesn't look like that... I guess I need to go find out if part of Australia was glaciated...
South Island New Zealand - glaciers, cool water, not much pollution be right back...

What does a house elf have to do with this place? Is it on the Swedish coast?

Guess Hoytedow is closest, while RHP have correctly assumed another thing; its often said that parts of this area remind many of NZ.

Moraine, 20.000 years, white beach, cold light, thats all Baltic. It´s not Gotland or Bornholm, I know.
Not enough trees to be on the southern coast of Sweden, not in Germany, to high the hills to be Danish or German. So, we have to go further north.
Electrified 1904....phuhh half of Europe was.
Even for the guys having Gurgle Äärrth, it will be hard to lookup the fjords, maybe we receive another hint?

A diplomatic mess...

Close, very close.

Name is derived from "bleka" which may be close to the word "flat" (as in "no waves"). What the natives consider to be "flat" is probably a relative opinion.... In my opinion....

Nooo, If you'd seen bathers there in the summertime you'd notice that the sound from the children/ swimmers were unusually high pitched...

ok, I think I've found it but maybe it's not fair, since I speak Norwegian?
Anyway, no problem to find it on the map.

Must be a difficult entrance in bad weather, shallow water out there?
