Top 10 Beaches In The World
A sunny day on a beach can cure anything. If you’re having a bad and you need something fun in your life, then head straight to a beach. It will cure your depression and will act as a detox in your busy and intoxicated life. Basking in the sun on a beach is something that we all want. So here’s the list of the top 10 best beaches all around the world. So let the adventure begin.
While it may be one of the most popular beaches on the island, Horseshoe Bay has a hidden secret: Port Royal Cove, which has shallow water perfect for young kids, and dramatic rock formations that complement wonderfully soft, pink sand. Nearby Spiceland’s Equestrian Centre even offers trail rides down to the private cove, which is located in a part of South Shore Park in Southampton Parish.
Aussies and Kiwis have been surfing off Sri Lanka’s otherworldly south coast for years, but the word is starting to spread: This country may be the perfect vacation destination. Unawatuna has often considered one of the best sandy stretches on the island, located near the southern city of Galle. The water here is tranquil and warm, devoid of rocks and reefs on the ocean floor—great for families, not so great for surfers. A small road runs along the beach, with restaurants, cafes, and vendors selling jewelry.
Virgin Gorda is the third largest of the British Virgin Islands, with natural beauty covering virtually all of its 8.5 square miles. The island offers quiet beaches and coves and flora-filled national parks. Perhaps the prettiest (and most popular attraction), though, is the Baths, a seaside area where huge granite boulders form scenic saltwater pools and grottos.
Matira is perhaps the most famous of Tahiti’s beaches, and for good reason: The mile-long stretch of silky, powder-white sand slopes gently into a shallow emerald lagoon, and is backed by a thick curtain of palms and tropical foliage. A bonus? It’s one of the only public-access beaches in Bora Bora, so you won’t need to pay five-star resort prices to enjoy its beauty. Come early to stake out a spot.
Located on the western shore of the 75-square-mile island, the whole stretch of this 5.5 mile-long beach (arguably one of the loveliest stretches of sand in the world) is public property, making it easy to stroll from hotel to hotel regardless of where you book an overnight. All in one afternoon, you can grab lunch at an ocean-side restaurant, stumble into a volleyball game with locals, take Jet Skis out further down the beach, and top it off with some snorkeling in Cemetery Reef, known for its rocky formations prime for sea life habitat.
Undeniably one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean, if not the world, Trunk Bay sits in the northwestern corner of the Virgin Islands National Park (it was donated to the park service by Laurence S. Rockefeller more than 50 years ago). Calm, clear water and a 225-yard-long underwater trail for snorkeling are big draws, as are hiking trails up and into the surrounding greenery, filled with the ruins of historic sugar cane plantations.
Often considered to be Bali’s subdued neighbor, Lombok has tons of great beaches on both the main island and surrounding islands. But be sure to spend at least one day on Lombok proper before venturing offshore. Make the town of Kuta your home base, then venture out to nearby Seger Beach. It’s a strip of sand sheltered by a headland that offers epic views of the Indian Ocean. Quench your thirst with a cold Bintang or some coconut water from one of the makeshift warungs set up on the sand.
Voted one of the best islands in the U.S., Marco Island makes up part of Florida’s Paradise Coast, which has a tropical feel thanks to the mangroves and mangoes everywhere. The Gulf Coast island is the perfect place for a weekend getaway, with beautiful beaches and parks, tons of outdoor activities, and great hotels.
It’s nearly impossible to pick a favorite beach in the Maldives—what with over 1,200 to choose from—but we’re drawn to the North Malé Atoll, and Reethi Rah in particular. Eight perfect strands of the sand circle this larger-than-average island, each seemingly better than the next—and with only one resort here, it never feels crowded.
Otherwise known as “Sunset Beach,” North Island in Seychelles is where giant tortoises graze in the grass, the sea turns pink as the sun sets, and the West Beach Bar buzzes with the low hum of famous voices. Celebrities like George and Amal Clooney, and Prince William and Kate Middleton have honeymooned here, and if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for you.
