Top Ten Beaches in the World
The sun, the soft sand sifting through your toes and fingers, the salty wind blowing in from the sea, the sound of waves...the ultimate holiday and vacation! If you're like everyone else in this world, you should be looking for some of the top beaches in the world. And lucky for you, we have done the research on the world's most popular beaches and have listed them here for you in no particular order.
The first one is Poipu Beach, Hawaii. If you believe in Paradise, this is it. In terms of a beach, this is definitely a world-class beach and should not be missed. Absolutely breathtaking! Poipu Beach is recently named America's top beach by The Travel Channel with the most extensive golden sand and provides a host of activities for travelers and beach-lovers.
The second on the list is Matira Beach, also another not-to-be-missed beach! Matira Beach is one of those magical islands of Bora Bora that makes up French Polynesia in the South Pacific. Long and lazy stretches of beach with whispering shores is what you can expect from Matira Beach. In fact, Matira Beach is as magical and enchanting as it comes. It's not called the world's most romantic beach for nothing. People flock to Matira Beach to make proposals - imagine that!
Just when you thought there is nothing more to Mexico but Tequila and snakes, in comes Maroma Beach. Maroma Beach is more like a holiday resort getaway destination offering a combination of luxurious resorts and spas; and 500 acres of beach and rain forest.
Next on the list of top ten beaches are Pink Sands
and South Sands - nestled on the edges of Salcombe. A contending beach would be the Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro. The beaches are filled with beach-goers almost all year round and who can blame them? Inexpensive accommodation and traveling makes these beaches the top few beaches in the world!
If you're hooked on surfing, don't forget to drop by Biarritz Beach on a holiday. It's an absolute haven for surfers with 2 large beaches and a myriad of smaller beaches in between. And France also offers holiday-goers and beach-lovers a gem of a beach in the form of the St. Tropez beach. Who doesn't know that St. Tropez is well known for its bikinis and beachwear groundbreaking fashion rules? St. Tropez is a hot favorite among Hollywood stars and is nestled along the French Riveria. It pays that St. Tropez beach is also a short drive from Nice and Cannes.
Coming up next is the Clifton Beach on Cape Town, South Africa. One of the most amazing sceneries can be found there. Imagine enjoying the beach with the gorgeous Table Mountain as a backdrop. There's never anything quite like that on a beach. And if you're looking for a natural and exotic beach, you might want to try out Anse de Argent beach in Seychelles. For nature-lovers, Anse de Argent is heaven!
