If you've gone through all the lessons preceding this one, you will be thoroughly drilled on the difference between "the ... is" an "this ..." where ... stands for any noun.

Another possibility is "this is a very scenic coast"; I wish you had read (and taken to heart) my detailed comments about "pretty", quoting to you two very reputable dictionaries, the Oxford English-Arabic and the Hans Wehr Arabic-English. "Pretty" is close to the worst choice as a default for "jameel"
