Fernweh for West Beach

West Beach, Isle of Berneray, Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

In German you have two opposed concepts. Heimweh and Fernweh. Heimweh means homesickness. Fernweh is the longing to be in a far away place. This is what I feel today. I would love to walk West Beach today. What is the word for Fernweh in English?
