It’s here again: the time of year when it’s not uncommon to go to the office in the dark and come home in the dark. It is the time of year when you find yourself dreaming of warm and sunny destinations plagued by wanderlust. To intensify your longing, here are eleven of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
1. Bamboo Island, Thailand
One of Thailand’s most beautiful beaches is located on the uninhabited island of Bamboo Island. You can reach the island by longtail boat from Ko Phi Phi Don. Here, you can fully immerse yourself in untouched nature.
2. Grace Bay, Caribbean
Picture-perfect beaches are a common sight in the Caribbean. On Tripadvisor, a well-traveled beach fan raves about Grace Bay on the island of Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands and writes: “We have rarely found such clean, wide, fine-grained, white sand.”
Anse Lazio, Seychelles
The Seychelles are known for their endless white beaches. There is a little more variety at Anse Lazio on the island of Praslin. At this beach, several bays with large granite rocks create the perfect snorkeling spots.
Lanikai Beach in Hawaii, USA
Just an hour’s drive from the famous Waikiki Beach, you get to the dream beach of Lanikai. Instead of towering hotel structures, you’ll find expansive white sand and a turquoise sea stretching to the horizon. One traveler has a special tip on Tripadvisor: “The beach becomes even more stunning before the tide rolls in.”
Navagio Beach, Greece
You don’t even have to miss out on remnants of bygone times on the beach in Greece: The wreck of the smuggler’s ship Panagiotis lies on Navagio Beach on the island of Zakynthos. Nestled in the white sand and flanked by the towering rocks of the bay, it serves as a captivating photo subject.
Eagle Beach, Caribbean
If even the Beach Boys want to whisk their ladies away to Aruba in one of their most famous songs, the beaches here must be gorgeous. Eagle Beach is like something out of a picture book, with its vast white sandy shores and shallow, crystal-clear waters inviting you to wade far into the sea.
Whitehaven Beach, Australia
Between the Queensland coast and the Great Barrier Reef lies the picturesque Whitsunday Island, where Whitehaven Beach can be found. The ebb and flow of the tides sculpt unique and mesmerizing sand and water formations.
Radhanagar Beach, India
The beach on the Indian island of Havelock is also a popular destination among Indians themselves. A user on Tripadvisor advises visiting the “dream beach with a jungle backdrop” in the morning or late afternoon because then you have it almost to yourself. It’s also a fantastic place to watch the sun go down.
Pink Sands Beach, Caribbean
At Pink Sands Beach in the Bahamas, you walk on colored sand. The coral in the sea has turned the sand pink – a unique natural spectacle.
El Nido, Philippines
It is no longer a secret that the Philippines has a multitude of dream beaches. An exceptional one is located on the island of Palawan. Nature enthusiasts will find El Nido Beach to be a priceless treasure. In addition to crystal-clear water and a white beach, the idyllic backdrop is adorned with jungle-covered mountains.
Siesta Key Public Beach in Florida, USA
Siesta Key Public Beach in Florida is the ideal spot for those who dream of a pristine white beach with the conveniences of civilization and urban life within reach. The beach is located directly on an island off the coast of the city of Sarasota.
