Beach destinations are the idyllic getaway from the daily grind for much of the world. A trip to the beach is the classic idea of a vacation for families, couples, and even singles. Something about lounging on the beach, soaking in the sun, and listening to the sound of the surf a worldwide appeal. The beach is the place to kick off your heels, dance all night, drink and eat a little too much. This is where you come to forget about it all and simply enjoy life.
Whether they’re blessed with blindingly bright white sands or located in the most idyllic setting imaginable; the world is truly home to a staggering array of beautiful beaches, each more breathtaking than the last. While some of them are to be found at the heart of world-famous cities, others are nestled away on tropical islands or tucked away deep inside national parks.
Whether they are backed by impressive rock formations, rugged cliffs, or gently swaying palm trees, these beautiful beaches really need to be seen to be believed.
It takes time to find a perfect destination to plan you trip. So, I have made it easy for you and made a list of Top 10 best beaches in world.
Here, they are as follows in descending order:
10. Navagio Beach
Navagio Beach, or Shipwreck Beach, is an exposed cove, sometimes referred to as "Smugglers Cove", on the coast of Zakynthos, in the Ionian Islands of Greece. Navagio Beach was originally known as Agios Georgios. Navagio is one of the most beautiful beaches in Greece. It is located on the north-west shore of the stunning Zakynthos Island (also known as Zante), an Ionian island, the third in length. Navagio Beach is ironically only accessible by boat. Skimming across the sparkling waters towards the secluded cove is an unforgettable experience; the scenery gets better and better as you approach. The gorgeous beach regularly features in travel magazines and is one of the most beautiful natural settings in the whole of Greece.
9. The Baths
The Baths is a beach area on the island of Virgin Gorda among the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. Encompassing the beaches and rocky shoreline at the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda, The Baths is a collection of massive granite boulders as large as 40 feet in diameter, with white sand beaches and secret rock pools. The sandy beaches are lined with tropical palms, adding to the dramatic effect.
8. Tapuaetai
Tapuaetai, or "One Foot Island", is one of 22 islands in the Aitutaki atoll of the Cook Islands. It is located on the southeastern perimeter of Aitutaki Lagoon immediately to the southwest of the larger island of Tekopua, seven kilometres to the east of the main island of Aitutaki. It offers the visitor some great views of the Aitutaki lagoon and depending on the tide one is able to walk on a sandbank a decent distance away from Tapuaetai. The beach was awarded “Australasia’s Leading Beach” at the World Travel Awards held in Sydney in June 2008.
7. Zlatni Rat
Zlatni Rat, often referred to as the Golden Cape or Golden Horn, is a spit of land located about 2 kilometres (1 mile) west from the harbour town of Bol on the southern coast of the Croatian island of Brač, in the region of Dalmatia. Regularly featured on the front of travel magazines around the globe, Zlatni Rat is one of Croatia's most popular tourist destinations due to its magnificent scenery and sparkling turquoise waters. In 2009, it was named as one of the top ten best beaches in the world by Lonely Planet.
6. Ölüdeniz
Ölüdeniz is a resort village on the southwest coast of Turkey. It’s known for the blue lagoon of Ölüdeniz Tabiat Parkı and the wide, white Belcekız Beach. Overlooking the village is Babadağ mountain from where paragliders take to the skies. The Lycian Way is a long-distance marked footpath starting in Ölüdeniz, and has coastal views. To the south, Butterfly Valley is a nature reserve with a secluded bay. An increasingly popular beach to visit as word spreads about its considerable charms. Meaning ‘dead sea,’ Oludeniz boasts some fantastic snorkeling and scuba diving due to its calm crystal clear waters and amazing marine life. While its long sandy beach is perfect for relaxing on, the gorgeous scenery all around it certainly warrants exploring. Ringed by beautiful mountains, the dazzling ‘Blue Lagoon’ for which Oludeniz is famed is a must-visit, while many people go paragliding to enjoy the view of the beach from above.
5. Trunk Bay
Trunk Bay is a National Park beach on St. John in the United States Virgin Islands. Rated as one the world’s most beautiful beaches by the National Geographic Society it attracts hordes of cruise ship passengers. Amenities on the beach include a snack bar, showers and restrooms, a lifeguard, and, most famously, an underwater trail for snorkeling its coral reef.
4. Maya Bay
Since having shot to fame in the 1999 film The Beach, Maya Bay in Thailand has been one of the most sought after beaches in the world. Such was its popularity, however, that Thai authorities had to shut the beach in 2018 and limit the number of visitors to 2,000 a day to help protect and preserve the environment. Surrounded and sheltered by towering limestone cliffs, Maya Bay’s white sand beach and inviting waters make for one of the most stunning settings imaginable. Located on the island of Ko Phi Phi Le, which lies in the Andaman Sea, Maya Bay is a treat to visit. Visitors can enjoy kayaking, snorkeling, and scuba diving around the bay.
3. Whitehaven Beach
Whitehaven Beach in Queensland, Australia, regularly features amongst the most attractive beaches in the world, and it is easy to see why. Boasting some of the purest sand on Earth, it stretches some seven kilometers, with brilliant turquoise waters lying alongside its secluded coves and lagoons. Due to its remote location in the Whitsunday Islands, the beach sees relatively few visitors. You can lounge on the sand, go kayaking, or enjoy a barbecue with barely another soul in sight. Only accessible by boat, helicopter, or seaplane, Whitehaven Beach lies right at the heart of the Great Barrier Reef.
2. Tulum
Lying on Mexico’s Caribbean coastline, Tulum is not only home to one of the country’s best-preserved Mayan ruins, but one of its best beaches too. It once served as the major port of the Mayan city of Coba. Tulum was built around 1200 AD when the Mayan civilization was already in decline and therefore lacks the elegance of some other famous sites. The tropical beach backdrop however makes this one of the most popular tourist destinations in mexico that is a heaven for the photographer or artist.
1. Anse Source D'Argent
While the Seychelles is famed for being an idyllic and luxurious beach destination, one name stands out from the crowd – Anse Source D’Argent. Located on La Digue island, it is one of the most photographed beaches in the world and featured in countless travel magazines. One of the world’s top beaches, Anse Source D’Argent contains a winning combination of large granite boulders studding the coastline, coupled with pink sand beaches and coconut palms. With the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lapping at its shores, pristine and untouched nature all around you, and exotic birds flying overhead, it really does make for an island paradise like no other.
