Be it a hot summer day or a breezy rainy day- the sight of these crystal clear waters are sure to put a smile on your face. Don’t blame us if you feel like taking a beach vacation after reading this post.
Cook Islands
The Cook Islands, a set of 15 islands in the heart of the South Pacific spread over an area the size of India, is known for its sparkling blue lagoons, white sand beaches and rugged mountainous interiors. On Aitutaki, the very best beaches are on the uninhabited lagoon motus (islands), but there are many fine stretches of white sand and safe lagoon areas on the main island too. Most other outer islands have small intimate beaches – just perfect for couples!
Linapacan Island
Around Linapacan there are hundreds of undeveloped paradise beach islands, crystal clear waters with excellent snorkeling, caves to explore, and rural fishing villages where you can experience the true and generous hospitality and warm hearts of Filipinos, which you will not experience in the major tourist destinations.
Maldives
Stunning white beaches, crystal-clear water and an incredible underwater world make the Maldives one of the world’s best vacation destinations and scuba diving spots.
Greece
Porto Katsiki beach on Lefkada Island is one of the most beautiful Greek beaches. Katsiki beach looks truly fascinating surrounded by incredible hills which make it accessible only by 80 steep steps descending along the cliff. Golden sandy beach adds a beauty to the overall impression of Porto Katsiki.
England
The stunning village of Porthcurno is the perfect place for a peaceful get away. The large beach is popular with families, and has a stream that flows down one side which is great for kids to paddle in and up on the cliffs.
Seychelles
Located in the north of La Digue, a long sandy beach of dazzling white with huge granite blocks in a blue azure sea surrounded by swaying palm trees. The Anse source D’argent beach is really a piece of paradise on earth.
Spain
The most widely recognised images of Menorca’s virgin beaches come from Macarella and Macarelleta. Varios stunning shades of impeccably clear turquoise and blue water in the bay with white sandy beaches and surrounding rocks with shallow waters.
Brazil
Secluded and accessible only on foot, Baia dos Porcos – in the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha – is like a little piece of paradise. Crystal-clear turquoise waters, a tiny beach almost deserted, and the awesome view on the rocks. Isn’t that pure magic?
France
The south of France isn’t all celebs and over-priced cocktails. Ten miles from Marseille lie the hidden bays of the Calanques, accessible only by boat – or good hiking boots. The Calanque de Sormiou is one of the big Calanques between Marseille and La Ciotat. It is famous for its climbing spots.
British Virgin Islands
Prepare to be amazed at the gigantic boulder formations, caves, pools and scenic grottos at The Baths, a national treasure designated as a protected park. The Baths’ amazing array of granite “batholiths” is a testament to the volcanic history of Virgin Gorda.
