Top 10 Best Beaches in the world

0 comment

There’s something about the best beaches in the world that enlivens the senses. The briny scent of salt in the air, the calming murmur of waves, the gentle nip of sand whipped up by the soft breeze. A favorite beach is like a favorite poem. It is individual, important, and something that makes our hearts sing. Now more than ever we are dreaming of days spent wriggling our toes in the sand and wallowing in salty water.

Instead of the typical sandy spots dotted with sun umbrellas and gaggles of tourists. We’ve sought out spaces that you may have to venture a little further for, but that remains incredibly beautiful and very often crowd-free. From the most exquisite beaches in Europe to far-flung stretches in Asia, Africa, and more.

Here is the list of the best beaches in the world.

Fiji

Start the list of Best Beaches in the world with Fiji because of its turquoise waters, glittering sands, and luxe resorts, Fiji is similar to many other tropical getaways. Likewise, the set of 333 islands caters to lovebirds of all kinds. Plus, adventure seekers, like surfers and divers, appreciate the archipelago’s quality waves and coral reefs. But Fiji differs from other island destinations in its other worldliness.

Since it’s more than 1,300 miles from New Zealand’s North Island in the South Pacific Ocean, Fiji affords you the delectable feeling of seclusion. You’ll be as far from reality as possible when you’re sipping Fiji Bitter beer and watching the sun dip below the horizon. Fijian customs will make you feel a million miles away too: Ever tasted the dizzying kava drink? Or watched men defy fire and walk across scalding stones without burning their feet? If not, it’s about time you did.

Maundays Bay, Anguilla

It’s hard to debate this one. Anguilla is blessed with many stunning beaches, but Maundays Bay is an exception. On this skinny island’s southwesterly tip wins for crystal-clear water, a gradual slope, pristine sand, and a perfect half-moon arc.

Technically it is a public beach. But it is rarely crowded and populated predominantly by guests at the Belmond Cap Juluca recently reborn after a glorious heyday in the ’90s. Maundays is ideal for families with kids, as sightlines are uninterrupted, there are rarely any waves, and the beach is neatly bookended by two small breakwaters.

Maldives

Have You seen photos of the Maldives before? Picture-Perfect Private villas suspended over striking blue waters, alabaster white sand beaches and spectacular sunsets dipping into the horizon. The scenic beauty of the Maldives is something to behold, something you can’t quite understand until you’re there in person.

The island nation of the Maldives is popular with honeymooners looking for seclusion and adventurers looking to explore the depths of the sea on a scuba diving and snorkeling excursion. Travelers seeking relaxation can unwind at one of the island spas. All visitors should certainly spend a day exploring the Maldivian capital of Male.

The hotels in this region are also spectacular, ranging from underwater hotels to overwater private bungalows. However, getting to and staying in this tropical paradise requires patience and plentiful cash. Because there are no direct flights from the United States. Located between the Arabian and Laccadive seas, roughly 500 miles southwest of Sri Lanka, the Maldives is about as isolated as you can get and that’s just another one of its many allures.

Kiawah Island, SC

Kiawah Island, a mostly private, gated community, less than a hours drive from Charleston International Airport is a low country winner. It is about to receive nonstop flights to London this year. East and West Beach, combined, stretch for 10 miles along the Atlantic. Public beach access is at Beachwalker County Park at the island’s far southern end. The sand is flat, the water is shallow, there are lifeguards on duty, and you can rent beach chairs and umbrellas rentals.

Bora Bora

The small island of Bora Bora (just about 6 miles long and a little more than 2 miles wide) overflows with beauty. A dormant volcano rises up at its center and fans out into lush jungle before spilling into an aquamarine lagoon. In fact, author James Michener. Who wrote Tales of the South Pacific, called Bora Bora the most beautiful island in the world. The 18th-century British explorer James Cook even coined it as the Pearl of the Pacific. The very definition of a tropical getaway, blissful Bora Bora abounds with luxurious resorts, sunny skies, warm waters, and friendly locals.

And as you might’ve already guessed, the main industry on this petite island in French Polynesia and its swarm of tiny motu (islands) is tourism. To that end, you can snorkel, explore Vaitape (Bora Bora’s main port), hike Mount Otemanu, and more. But there’s a catch: Bora Bora is expensive – very expensive. In short, visit Bora Bora for natural beauty, visit for utter relaxation and visit if you have the money.

Trunk Bay, St. John, USVI

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.

St. John has had a long road to recovery from the hurricanes of 2017. But the good news is that the National Park is back in full bloom. Its beaches are in perfect shape, Cruz Bay is bustling with shops and restaurants. The Westin St. John Resort Villas is finally back in operation, offering accommodations from studios to three-bedroom villas.

Tahiti

One of the Best Beaches in the world Tahiti which has Miles of shoreline, dozens of resorts, French cuisine to die for. Tahiti has all the makings of a honeymoon destination. But beach bums often pass over Tahiti’s sands in favor of Bora Bora’s ivory shores. Despite its idyllic reputation and accessibility, Tahiti is more of an off-the-beaten-path stop than a romantic getaway.

However, that doesn’t mean Tahiti should be ignored. Leafy forests sit beside sandy shores, French crêpes are served alongside Tahitian Poisson cru (raw fish). If there ever was a place that embodies the beautiful duality of the French Polynesian archipelago, it’s Tahiti.

Here, the quirky, often chaotic atmosphere of the island’s capital, Papeete, rubs elbows with uncorrupted natural beauty. In fact, Tahiti the largest of French Polynesia’s 118 islands is often referred to as two separate islands despite them being joined by a tiny land bridge.

One of the archipelago’s most popular tourism spots. Sandwiched between the Big Island and the much tinier Molokai, that’s where you can find Maui. Many travelers base themselves along the coasts of South Maui or West Maui. Where the sands of Kaanapali Beach and the music from the Old Lahaina Luau are located.

Travel along the Road to Hana to experience East Maui’s scenic coastline, explore Haleakala the world’s largest dormant volcano – in the Upcountry and discover the former tribal battlegrounds of Central Maui’s Iao Valley State Park.

Gouverneur, St. Barts

Gouverneur is considered one of the best beaches in the world. it is located at the bottom of a steep and sparsely populated road which is remote and pristine. A small, well-maintained parking lot comes courtesy of the privately owned land (none other than Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich). Access to the sand is through a small, shady grove of trees a popular spot for picnics at the eastern end of the beach.

The farther west you walk, the fewer people you’ll find. Expect to encounter wild goats on occasion and keep a lookout for traces of buried treasure belonging to the notorious French pirate, Montbars ‘The Exterminator”.
