Experienced travelers have already named the best beaches in the world, the photos on which are just wonderful, and the vacation turns into a fairy tale.
The American journal National Geographic, which publishes materials on nature and culture, has taken this issue seriously. So the rating was compiled, which included ten of the best places on the planet. So, according to this list, the best beaches in the world are ...
Seychelles
In the first place on the list are the magnificent beaches of the Seychelles. The azure sea, coral islands, unusually clean and fluffy sand, small but cozy coves. All this forms excellent beaches of coral origin.
Perhaps this paradise has a small problem - there are too many islands and, accordingly, beaches on them, which leads some tourists to bewilderment, because it is easy to get lost there.
In general, an ideal vacation spot than Seychelles probably does not exist. Amazing landscapes, pristine nature, amazing underwater world and endless beaches - this is a real paradise.
Maldives
The second place in the list of "The best beaches in the world" is occupied by the Maldives. The beaches of these islands are considered the most beautiful and idyllic. Here you will find turquoise lagoons with clear water, shimmering with amazing shades, beaches with white sand and a cozy atmosphere of tranquility. In the Maldives, wide beaches blend perfectly with flowers and palm groves. Holidays on the islands will turn into a paradise tale for you.
In the Maldives, in addition to the opportunity to wallow in a soft sand or on a hammock, there are many other active entertainments. You can go diving and discover the beauty of the amazing underwater world. Or take part in the hunt for crabs. Or have a romantic dinner on one of the neighboring uninhabited islands.
Bora Bora, Tahiti
Bora Bora is a huge atoll. It is surrounded on all sides by small islands and coral reefs. This place became the third in the rating of “The Best Beaches in the World” thanks to the mother-of-pearl lagoon, perfect white sand and clear water. In addition, all hotels on the island are located on stilts above the water. It makes a lasting impression. The most beautiful landscapes can be observed at sunset and dawn, when the lights of hotels fade in the water. The whole island is a huge beach, so you can plunge into the water wherever you want.
Hamptons, New York
The city beaches of the Hamptons are located on the Atlantic coast. There is absolutely no civilization and service, so you have to sunbathe in the old fashioned way: on straws and under an umbrella. People come here both by car and by boat or yacht.
The beaches of the Hamptons are always different: one time they are completely full of vacationers, and the other time they are deserted, waves are raging here today, and calm tomorrow. This is an ideal place for those who decide to combine a rest on the sea and an excursion tour of the "Big Apple" of America.
