Best Beaches In the World - Trunk Bay Feature

Best Beaches In The World

Looking for the best beaches in the world to visit to add to the top of your list? No doubt, there’s always a few that will make it to the top of every list. But, in this story, we dig deep and find the very best beaches that will top anyone’s list.

Sarakiniko Beach

By far, the most unique beach I have ever visited is Sarakiniko Beach in Milos, Greece. Milos is filled with over 80 incredible beaches, but this one stands out. Nicknamed the “moon beach,” the stunning landscape is made of white volcanic rock with contrasting turquoise waters. Also, it is the perfect place to swim, cliff jump, suntan, and explore. I can’t wait to go back!

Puerta Cortes Beach - One of the Best in The World

Puerta Cortes

The Azul Cortes Beach Club at Puerta Cortes is a luxury resort development located in La Paz, Mexico. It offers a private escape to the Sea of Cortez. Also, it’s arguably one of the most fertile bodies of water in the world. Then, while here, let your eyes get lost in the views of endless blue. Finally, dip your toes in the soft white sand beach that extends to the sea. Indeed, the beach offers meters of shallow, calm water, for hours of floating in paradise or even a sunset beach stroll.

While not on the beach, guests can also enjoy the many amenities of the Azul Cortes Beach Club. Here, one can captivate the senses with a local treatment. For example, a massage palapa and afterward, enjoy a craft cocktail and fresh ceviche from the beach bar. Admittedly, the beach club’s views of the infinity pool and Sea of Cortez are among the best in the world.

Guincho beach

Part of the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, Guincho Beach is endowed with a surrounding landscape of great beauty in which the white sand dunes contrast with the deep tones of the Serra de Sintra hills, looming in the background.
Given both its strong winds and waves, the beach attracts a great following among bodyboarders and surfers. Throughout summer, there is generally a good northerly wind ensuring Guincho is excellent for windsurfing. Nearby, there are some excellent restaurants specializing in fish and shellfish dishes.Length of beach: 0,79km

Isla Mujeres - Best beaches in the world

 

Playa Norte

Playa Norte is on the tiny island Isla Mujeres, just 20 minutes boat ride from Cancun. Also, it’s consistently voted in the world’s top 10 across a wide range of publications. There, the water is bathtub-warm all year, full of fish, and so affordable you’ll never want to leave.

Isla Mujeres is a hidden gem, given Cancun is so heavily trafficked by American tourists. For example, fast ferries leave every 30 minutes from Puerto Juarez. Moreover, this allows sightseers to visit for a day or two at their leisure. Pro Tip: Rent a golf cart and drive to the south tip of the island. Then, go snorkeling with more fish than you know what to do with.

St Ninians Isle Beach

 

St Ninians Isle Beach, Scotland

There is a cluster of islands at the very top of the British Isles called the Shetlands (and yes, there are Shetland Ponies everywhere!!!), and I was lucky enough to visit it last year! I didn’t really have much of a plan when going there but this place was truly the highlight of that trip, and you’d be an idiot to not see it if ever visiting! 

What makes this beach special is that it is a tombolo (has a coast on either side of it), and leads all the way to an island called St Ninians Isle. On the island, it has some old Viking ruins and if you’re very lucky you may even see some puffins nesting.

Koolina NW coast of Oahu - Best beaches in the world

Ko’olina, Oahu

Oahu may be the busiest of all of the Hawaiian islands but offers so much to see via all the coastlines. Ko’olina is a special place – especially if you venture away from the hotels and continue northbound to the surrounding areas. There you will find small shops and tons of surfers along the northwest coast.

Trunk Bay Beach, St. John

Known by locals as “trunks”, Trunk Bay beach is not easily found. Indeed, it’s off the beaten path in St. John. While there are few amenities, you will find a shower and a snack bar.

I’ve been fortunate to be able to visit many of the world’s best beaches. However, when I think of my favorite, Trunk Bay always comes to mind. There, you’ll find crystal clear water and superfine sand. Interestingly, on the day that Rick and I went, there were only a few other people, as you can see in my photo. Andrea Spallanzani

Gulf Islands National Seashore - Best beaches in the world

The Gulf Islands National Seashore

The Gulf Islands National Seashore features sugar-white sand and emerald green water. It is the longest stretch of federally protected seashore in the United States. Further, it spans both Mississippi and Florida.

I like the Florida piece in Pensacola. For example, Perdido Key includes Fort Pickens, a 19th-century war fort, a hop-on-hop-off cruising ferry, beautiful campgrounds. Last, it’s the start of the Great Florida Birding Trail, which features over 300 species of birds.

Torrance, the newest hot spot destination in the Los Angeles South Bay is home to Torrance Beach. Stretching 1.5 miles, Torrance Beach is situated between Redondo Beach and Malaga Cove on the Santa Monica Bay. It’s known for being the “crowd-less” South Bay beach.

Dubrovnik Pasaja Beach

Pasjaca Beach, Cavtat, Croatia

In my humble opinion, Pasjaca beach gets my vote for the best beach in the world.

Pasjaca beach is a hybrid result of both man and nature combining. Indeed, it lays claim to be the most beautiful beach in Europe. For example, the place is a pure gem, the water is turquoise and crystal clear. And, a snorkellers’ ultimate dream.

Any fans of vibrant atmospheres and party scenes are best advised to avoid this beach. Indeed, there is nothing like it there. Just nature and quietness.

Sandwood Bay - Best beaches in the world

Sandwood Bay

Sandwood Bay is a mile-long expanse of sandy beach in the magnificent scenery of the North West Highlands. Fortunately, it escapes the attention of most tourists. Indeed, its because this beach can only be reached after a 2-hour hike across a moor.

This isolated beach casts a spell on all who visit, and you may never want to leave. Indeed, some people have never left. For example, there have been reports of encounters with a ghost who walks along the shore dressed in the weather-beaten attire of a sailor.

Survival Beach - Best beaches in the world

Survival Beach, Puerto Rico

Depending on who’s doing the judging, one or more of Puerto Rico’s beaches are considered among the most beautiful in the world.

There’s no doubt Puerto Rico, and its two smaller islands of Culebra and Vieques have some jaw-droppingly stunning beaches. To be sure, I can see why people are conflicted when trying to decide which one(s) reign supreme. I do have a personal favorite, however.

Survival Beach is on the western side of the island in Aguadilla, and not well known in comparison to others.

Survival Beach is not easy to get to. First, it’s a 1-mile walk through rough terrain—not for inactive people. Also, some parts require “hands and knees”. But, it opens up into what I can only describe as “You have got to be kidding me!”

Don’t just visit Puerto Rico. Experience Puerto Rico!
Sarah Ratliff

Porto Cauli Sardinia

Porto Cauli, Sardinia

There is no doubt that Sardinia has some of the best beaches in the world. One you really should hit when you visit is Porto Cauli, near Masua village. Also, its not far from Iglesias, on the southwestern coast of the island.

This small cove is surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and surmounted by rock formations. The highlights include the full view of the Pan di Zucchero stack. Indeed, the Pan di Zucchero is actually higher than the one in Capri. Last, don’t forget the view of Porto Flavia.

Llangennith Beach

Llangennith Beach

Llangennith Beach is a perfect showcasing of the wild Welsh coast. High cliffs clad in gorse and heather cascade down to meet a 5-mile scythe of sand that’s always got lashing waves and surfers. On the south side, there’s the dramatic rock of Worm’s Head, a tidal island that can only get too during certain times of the day. On the sand, itself is the haunting wreck of an old ship, surrounded by dunes and packs of hardy Celtic sheep. It’s heaven.

Keewaydin Island

Keewaydin Island—located in southwest Florida, between Naples and Marco Island—is one of the best shelling beaches in the world. It is super popular on weekends and holidays. But, on weekdays you might have the luscious US Gulf Coast island to yourself.

Playa Delfines - Sagar Sahay

Playa Delfines

I have been to the best of beaches around the world, but my favorite is Playa Delfines beach in Cancun, Mexico. It looks spectacular because of the milky white sands. There is an abundance of food joints, and that is why it is a hit among local and international tourists. Indeed, this is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. However, because of strong currents, swimming is not recommended, but it looks like a paradise for sure.

The coral beach atmosphere’s got the best of both worlds; Relaxing vibes infused with sounds of laughter and magical music coming out of the Coral Bay bar.

In the bar, you can sit for a beer, find interesting people to talk with, get the best coconut-shake in Koh Phangan, and even take a selfie with the unique pet- Dukdik, the pig.

Mozambique (Acacia Africa) - One of the best beaches in the world

Bazaruto Archipelago

Bazaruto Archipelago in Mozambique is home to beautiful six islands. If you seek seclusion and natural beauty, Magaruque Island is your best bet. For example, superb snorkeling on a mile-long coral reef is only a short swim from your shore.

Also, its deserted white beaches are a draw for anyone looking to kick back far from the madding crowd. Trek to Magaruque’s central dune on the eastern side of the island for breathtaking views over this sand-swept paradise, and sail back to the port of Vilanculos as the sun sets over the ocean.

Ngapali - best beaches in the world

Ngapali Beach, Myanmar

Ngapali is one of the world’s best and most beautiful beaches. And, it’s found in Myanmar. It’s a beautiful area with white sand beaches, coconut palms, and fantastic turquoise water! Like a paradise.

Ngapali is much less crowded than more popular destinations like Thailand, the Philippines, or Indonesia. Therefore, if you want to enjoy a beach vacation and are tired of tourist crowds, Ngapali could be a great option! You can get there by direct flight from Yangon. If you are more adventurous, you can go by bus. However, that ride takes 16 hours and is very tiring.
