Ready to make your next vacation list?
1-Baia do Sancho in Brazil
This is the one that is considered the best beach in the world in 2015, with the first place, and it is not one of the best known. It is located in Fernando de Noronha, a place with 21 islands in which the largest has the same name. This great beach stands out for a totally natural and quite isolated location. To get there you can go by boat, or by going down the steps that are in the cliff of about 40 meters. It is a beach with very clear waters, ideal for diving, and from February to June you can see two waterfalls in the area. In addition, it is the place where the turtles come to spawn, and from the top of the cliff you can see dolphins on the coast, so you can enjoy a great biodiversity in the area.
2-Grace Bay in the Providenciales Islands
These islands are located in the north of the caribbean sea. This is a beach of about 20 kilometers of white sand. It is protected by the coral reef, so it has very calm waters and it is therefore a great beach to enjoy diving and snorkeling at any time. It is part of the National Maritime Park, and it is a beach that has great beauty and is quite protected, so it is very well preserved. In addition, you can go at any time of the year, since the average temperature is 30 degrees.
3-Isola dei Conigli in Lampedusa, Sicily
This is another of those beaches with completely transparent waters and clear sands, but we have it in the Mediterranean, so it is much closer to us. This beach gets its name from a nearby islet, which can be reached by swimming for even more peace and tranquility. However, it is a fairly quiet and lonely beach, because It can only be accessed by boat. In addition, every year hundreds of loggerhead sea turtles go to spawn on the island, offering a unique spectacle.
4-Playa Paraíso in Cayo Largo, Cuba
From some deserted and idyllic beaches to be calm we go to an islet dedicated to leisure, where we will not lack any services. We are talking about Cayo Largo Sur, in Cuba. It is a space where you can find hotels and services, and that still has this beach, which is fairly quiet. In this way, we can mix both things, from a bit of tranquility, to the best leisure.
5-Ses Illetes in Formentera
This is the only beach in Spain that has been included among the 10 best beaches in the world. It belongs to the Ses Salines Natural Park, and is located surrounded by dunes and protected nature. The beach has very fine sand and crystal clear, shallow waters, which makes it look like a real natural pool. This is the reason why many families choose it to spend the day, since its waters are very safe. In addition, there are several islets that can be easily reached, the Escull d'en Palla, the Illa des Conills, Illa des Ponent and Illa Redona.
6-Anse Lazio in Seychelles
This beach is far from hotels and noise. It has soft sand and turquoise waters, but without a doubt what draws the most attention are its pink granite rocks with rounded shapes by erosion. They seem to be put on purpose to decorate the landscape. Nor should you miss the Takamaka, the typical trees of the Seychelles.
7-White Beach in the Philippines
In seventh place is a beach that is known as the Ibiza of the Philippines. It is in a leisure area with everything from massage centers to restaurants, and at night it fills up with people who go to bars and discos. It is the ideal place for young people who want to have everything at hand and enjoy a great atmosphere on the beach at any time.
8-Flamenco Beach in Puerto Rico
This beach is a long sandy beach in crescent shape, so it has very calm waters. It has a totally natural environment, with paradisiacal landscapes and a public camping area. It is a former military island, and you can still visit a tank that has been decorated in a very original way. It can be reached by plane or by ferry from the city of Fajardo in Puerto Rico.
9-Whitehaven Beach in Australia
This is a totally incredible area, with almost deserted natural spaces, making it the ideal area for those who wish to enjoy nature in all its splendor. This beach is in the Whitsunday Islands, and has white sand and turquoise waters that invite you to swim. However, you have to have beware of jellyfish, which are abundant.
10-Elafonisi in Greece
This beach stands out for pink hue of its sand, by the mixture of sand and coral. It is a protected place, so it is perfectly preserved, since the Caretta Caretta tortoises live in its habitat. A true Mediterranean paradise with clear waters in which to snorkel.
