Whether you’re going on a long vacation, a weekend getaway or just a day trip, what better way to spend your free time than on a beautiful beach? There’s no more ideal way to relax than to stretch out on a beach’s bright sand, frolic in the sparkling water, doze under a colorful beach umbrella, or work on your tan under the hot sun.
Here are 20 of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Which ones do you plan to visit?
20.TheHamptons,New York
The Hamptons have an unspoiled shoreline that runs from Southampton to the end of the island of Montauk. They border the Atlantic Ocean and have some of the prettiest beaches on Long Island.
This beach was featured in the movie The Beach starring Leonardo DiCaprio. The limestone walls surrounding the white sand beach are covered with lush greenery and mangroves. Impressive!
This beach is great for seeing wild horses and birdwatching. There’s lots of tall beach grass, too.
The sand on this beach gets its rosy color from coral, rocks and shells. The pink sand is a pretty contrast to the aquamarine water. The beach is known for being very wide, over 100 feet in some spots.
The purple sand makes this beach one of the most beautiful. It is also known for its rocky coves.
This beach has white sand and crystalline water and is surrounded by cliffs covered with lush vegetation.
This beautiful white sand beach is overlooked by a picturesque ancient and ruined Mayan city sitting on a rocky cliff.
The clean, almost blindingly white sand makes this a popular beach for campers and families out for the day.
This is a beach on the Indian Ocean with green hills and cliffs. Look for Hole in the Wall, a great rock that juts into the sea right at the mouth of the Mpako River.
Bottom Bay is a beautiful beach enclosed by high coral cliffs. From the top of the cliffs you can sometimes see whales and turtles in the ocean.
With its sandstone cliffs, dunes and creamy white sand, Cavendish Beach has inspired scenes in the famous Anne of Green Gables series of books.
The cool thing about this beach is the colorful lagoon. It’s near Kissamos on Crete.
Part of Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay is known for its white sands, pink granite formations and green peaks.
The white cliffs and bright blue waters make this a popular beach for tourists and you may see dolphins in the water.
Part of Waianapanapa State Park, this small beach is known for its black sand and spiny Hawaiian hala tree.
While this beach is certainly beautiful by day, it truly comes alive at night, when bioluminescent crustaceans light up the clear water and speckle the sand with an otherworldly blue glow.
This beautiful St. Bart’s beach is known for its sugary white sand, breathtaking scenery, warm water that’s perfect for snorkeling, and abundance of topless visitors. If you’re not already convinced to check it out, there’s nothing we can do for you.
Boracay, a small island in the Philippines, is home to White Beach. This little slice of paradise looks like the quintessential tropical vacation postcard, and it boasts clear waters, surrounding coral, and plenty of sun.
Elafonisi Beach is found on the tiny island of Elafonisi, which is so close to the coast of Crete that it can easily be walked to through the shallow waters that separate the two. In some places, the beach features pink sand, a unique coloring created by thousands of crushed seashells.
This incredibly secluded beach can only be accessed by boat. Phra Nang has something for everyone: thrillseekers can enjoy cliffjumping or explore the surrounding caves in a kayak, while those looking for a relaxing escape can lounge on the sand without the hustle and bustle that typically characterizes a day at the beach.
