There are a huge number of wonderful picturesque seashores on our planet. Of course, it is simply impossible to visit each of them: hardly even the most avid travelers will have so much time and energy for such a task. However, there are at least 10 of the best beaches in the world that are definitely worth seeing with your own eyes.
No. 1 Anse Source d'Argent
Location: La Digue, Seychelles
If you type the query “Beautiful Beach” into any search engine, you will definitely come across photographs of this amazing place. Thanks to the incredible combination of smooth rounded rocks and beautiful white sand, Anse Source d'Argent beach has gained particular popularity among photographers of any skill level. Professional photographs of this beach are more reminiscent of 3D computer fantasies of an unfamiliar and beautiful planet than a real photograph.
Anse Source d'Argent is perfect for a complete seaside holiday: here you can swim, sunbathe under the hot tropical sun, and also take your own photographs of the famous coast.
An undoubted advantage is the fact that there are never high storm waves here. Thanks to its favorable location protected by a massive reef, the water here remains calm at any time of the year and in any weather. Please note that the beach is located on the territory of the L'Union Estate Reserve Park. When entering the reserve, you must purchase an entrance ticket worth one hundred rupees. Experienced travelers advise not to throw away the purchased tickets, since they can be used to access the beach an unlimited number of times.
#2 Hidden Beach
Location: Las Marietas Islands, Mexico
Holidays on this famous beach are popular not only because of the clear clear water and the snow-white sandy strip. Here you can get an unforgettable experience comparable to visiting an interesting water park or Disneyland. Imagine a picturesque sea lake at the bottom of a huge pit. It’s as if you find yourself in the mouth of a giant volcano, where instead of lava you are greeted by a warm and gentle sea. And to get to the beach, you need to take an exciting boat trip through a picturesque underground cave, half flooded with water.
Thanks to the status of a protected reserve, the Las Marietas Islands have preserved environmentally friendly natural resources. Encounters with dolphins, whales and giant stingrays are common here. However, you can only come to this wonderful corner for one day. There are no hotels, restaurants or clubs on the protected islands: any construction is prohibited by the Mexican government.
#3 7 Mile Beach
Location: Negril, Jamaica
The name of the famous 7 Mile beach is translated into Russian as “Seven Miles”. Indeed, a snow-white strip of sand stretches here along the Caribbean Sea for seven miles, that is, almost 11 kilometers. It’s hard to even imagine how one beach can be so huge and long. Seven Mile Beach is rightfully considered one of the longest and most beautiful seaside resorts on the planet, constantly ranking among the best beaches in the world. The coastline is surrounded on all sides by picturesque rocky cliffs.
Only on Seven Mile Beach can you find a unique combination of modern comfortable hotels and prestigious expensive restaurants with ancient Jamaican culture. Festivals of traditional local dances and songs are often held here.
#4 Maya Bay
Location: Phi Phi Island, Thailand
Maya Bay was included in the list of the best beaches in the world thanks to the Hollywood epic film “The Beach,” which was filmed in these picturesque places. Maya Bay is a sea bay hidden behind high cliffs. Thanks to this unusual location, travelers inside the bay are greeted by the incredibly cozy atmosphere of a miraculous pool. You can go to Maya Bay from the main pier of Phi Phi Island by boat. The best months to visit are considered to be the season from November to April, when there are no tropical downpours in Thailand, and the weather is clear and cloudless every day. When going to Maya Bay after watching “The Beach,” you shouldn’t expect that it will be as calm and quiet as in the movies. Every day the bay is visited by hundreds of tourists from all over the world. Thus, you can immerse yourself in a secluded atmosphere only in the early morning or late evening.
#5 Bells Beach
Location: Victoria, Australia
Bels Beach is primarily suitable for surf lovers. It is on this picturesque coast that the Rip Curl Pro, one of the most prestigious competitions in this exciting sport, has been held since 1961. Surfers gather here from the first days of March to the last weeks of August. It is during this period that high powerful waves are always available here.
№6 Maho
Location: Saint Martin Island, Caribbean
The unique Maho Beach is world famous for being located in close proximity to the airport landing strip. Millions of tourists from all over the globe come here every year to experience extreme sensations: what it’s like to be under the turbines of a jet plane. In addition to this unusual “attraction”, the beach is famous for its beautiful strip of sand and clear azure sea. Fans of a relaxing holiday on a tropical island paradise can visit neighboring resorts away from the airport. There is no constant roar of turbines, but you can enjoy the best sandy beaches in the world, such as Mullet Bay or Orient Beach. Since one half of the island belongs to the Netherlands and the other to France, the best way to get to the famous island is by flight with transfers in Amsterdam or Paris.
№7 China Beach
Location: Da Nang, Vietnam
Among the best beaches in the world, China Beach undoubtedly has to be present. This beach, located near the Vietnamese city of Danang, has become world famous thanks to the azure sea surface and very fine clean sand.

In addition, the best five-star hotels in Vietnam are located near China Beach.
№8 Paradise Beach
Location: Mykonos island, Greece
Paradise Beach on the island of Minokos is a wonderful place to relax on the Aegean Sea. This is where the famous Tropicana Beach Bar is located - one of the best beach bars in the world.
The name "Paradise Beach" translates as "Paradise Beach", and these are not empty words. The cleanest sea, distance from major highways and industrial enterprises, well-developed tourist infrastructure. Every month, incendiary crowded discos are held here, which are called “full-moon parties” - full moon parties.
No. 9 Papakolea
Location: Hawaiian Islands
Papakolea is one of the best beaches in the world due to its unusual and unique colors. Sea sand is mixed here with volcanic rocks.

Nowadays, thousands of tourists from different countries come to Papakolea Beach to admire the bizarre play of green and red shades of the famous coast.
#10 Clifton beaches
Location: Cape Town, South Africa
The African resort city of Cape Town is included in the top 10 best beaches in the world according to the international publication National Geographic.

The most enjoyable holiday at sea
Summer is getting closer, it's time to think about where to spend it. It was on the eve of the summer season that we compiled a rating of the best places for a beach holiday in Europe, Russia and exotic countries. Don't know where to go? Meet us!
Where should you not go?
- Leave aside the European resorts that offer holidays on the Black Sea. The service there, of course, is higher than domestic, but the sea is the same, and the pricing policy can easily be compared with the resorts of the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean.
- You should not go to those countries that seem unsafe to you: Thailand, India, Bangladesh. And if you decide to go there, choose your location and hotel carefully.
- To resorts where there is at least a hint of an unfriendly attitude towards Russians. Your holiday could turn into a nightmare, so read reviews carefully.
- To countries where you will have to overpay. Prefer Montenegro to holidays in Croatia, choose the Philippines instead of Thailand, and prefer Grenada to the Bahamas. There you will find everything the same, but much cheaper.

The most beautiful beaches in the world - photos and descriptions
In this article I would like to tell you about the most beautiful beaches in the world, as well as please you with good colorful photographs of these amazing places on our planet! So, all the most beautiful beaches have one thing in common - their dissimilarity from each other and enchanting tranquility, even if this beach is considered a fashionable resort.
Let's start with the beaches of our continent, and gradually move further.
Greece. Colorful beaches of Santorini island
Santorini is a resort known all over the world for its stunning sunsets! But people also come here to see the colorful beaches of this island. The beach holiday center - Kamari - is located on the eastern side of the island, there are black beaches! The beaches on this side of the island have black sand, which became so due to the action of the volcano. Amazing sight! By the way, for some reason the black beaches are the most popular here.
Red Beach is located near the town of Akrotiri. There is a huge dark red rock hanging over this beach and the beach is narrow. It depends on you, but I wouldn’t risk swimming there, you never know!
White beach in Santorini is located near the red one, you can go to it by rented boat. It looks much more attractive than red. By the way, not far from the white beach there is the Faros lighthouse, go to it if you like old secluded places.
Maltese island Gozo, orange beach
This beach has orange sand! Looking at it, you get the impression that the sun is always shining on this island. The nature of the island is volcanic, fine volcanic sediments mixed with orange limestone, and the result is a carrot-colored hue.
China red beach
Hundreds of tourists come to Liaoning Province in China every year, all in order to see the unusual red beach and sea. What makes the beach red is the special type of algae that lives here, which when they die, become crimson-red. You can see this red splendor only in autumn and only in a certain area where observation decks have been built especially for tourists. The area of this red beach is in a nature reserve, so people are only allowed to look at a small part.
Beach of the Cathedrals in Spain
In Galicia, 10 kilometers from the Spanish city of Ribadeo, there is an interesting place called “Holy Water Beach”, and tourists call it the Beach of the Cathedrals.
Here nature has created unique arches in the rocks up to 30 meters high, which become fully visible at low tide. The natural works of art created are somewhat reminiscent of Gothic-style cathedrals.
Under the influence of wind and salt water, the coastal rocks turned into huge monuments with labyrinths and recesses. Photographers and tourists love to go here.
Oludeniz Türkiye
The beach is really good, but what is also attractive is the well-kept area around it and all the services for tourists. Oludeniz is a secluded sandy cove in a blue lagoon. The unique shade of turquoise has made this beach very popular in Mediterranean resorts. Oludeniz is also considered one of the best places for paragliding, thanks to the beautiful views from above.
Zlatni Rat, Croatia
Zlatni Rat, translated as Golden Cape, is located near the town of Bol, on the southern coast of the island of Brac. This is one of the most popular beaches in Europe.

Maya Bey Thailand
This is a small bay in a ring of green hills on the island of Phi Phi Leh, the second largest of the Phi Phi lands. The famous film The Beach with Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed here.

People go for long runs and walks along these beaches. You can also find a place here where you won’t meet people at all all day!
Harbor Island, Bahamas
The pink beach on Harbor Island in the Bahamas is a truly heavenly sight! Just imagine that this is not just a beautiful metaphor, it really is - the beach is a soft pink color. On the surface of the water near the shore, clouds are reflected like in a mirror. However, this is not a miracle, but a common natural phenomenon. The fact is that foraminefera (the simplest single-celled organisms that have shells) live in abundance near the island. The shells of these organisms are colored pink, and for many decades they washed ashore, where the waves turned the shells into small grains.
Pink Beach stretches five kilometers. Rich people buy land here to enjoy a holiday on this paradise pink beach. You can go on an excursion to Harbor Island. Orchids and hibiscus bloom along the beach.
10. Whitehaven beach, Australia
An Australian beach with the purest white sand is located on Whitsunday Island. The length of the beach is almost 6 kilometers and it consists of very fine white sand. It's hard to believe, but the sand on this beach is so clean that it was used to build the Hubble Telescope. In the northern part of the beach you will see a beautiful bay, where the waves merge with the sand so much that intricate fairy-tale paths are formed on the sand.
