Top 10 Beaches in the World for 2023
- Baia do Sancho -
Fernando de Noronha ,Brazil - Traveler tip: "A very beautiful beach, a pretty much postcard beach…there are some pretty cool crabs and...from the top you can see big sharks and rays swimming really close to the shore. The sea is the calmest first thing in the morning, so go as soon as the center opens at
9am to get your snorkeling in."
@akeyaranu Eagle Beach -Aruba ,Caribbean - Traveler tip: "Best beach on
Aruba ! Not crowded, white sand and water color to die for. Went to most of them and this one wins."
@896lynny - Cable Beach - Broome,
Australia - Traveler tip: "Cable Beach is an iconic place in Broome and with pristine white sand that stretches for many kilometers, it is easy to see why. It is popular with locals and tourists who can enjoy a range of activities from swimming and sunbathing to walking and running. It is a perfect place to relax. The sunsets are very special too."
@TWal1 - Reynisfjara Beach - Vik,
Iceland - Traveler tip: "Stunning beach. Breathtaking views. If the weather is bad and cloudy, the beach is even more beautiful. Don't miss this unique beach!"
@198galinam - Grace Bay Beach – Turks and Caicos,
Caribbean - Traveler tip: "I've been to a few islands and plenty of beaches and so far this takes the cake. The photos here are beautiful, but I promise you, they do it NO JUSTICE. It's almost unreal when you're there and see how white the sand is and how blue the water is. The sand feels like flour, it's so soft and the water is a little salty and clean."
@Blaxicana_B Praia da Falésia- Olhos de Agua,Portugal - Traveler tip: "This is a stunning looking beach … the sun catches the different colored orange and yellow sands in the tall cliffs which reflect a warm hue. The actual beach sand is a fine grain golden yellow. The waves crash into the beach with a genteel ferocity that creates a white surf for the swimmers and surfers alike."
@machinmad - Radhanagar Beach –
Havelock Island ,India - Traveler tip: "One of the best beaches in
Asia . Photos don't do it justice…soak in the surrealism and natural beauty."
@Jhaiyam - Spiaggia dei Conigli –
Sicily, Italy - Traveler tip: "The best beach of the island by far…if it is constantly rated the best beach in
Europe , there must be a reason! The water and color of the sand are so unique. Speechless."
@ GC_TPH - Varadero Beach –
Cuba ,Caribbean - Traveler tip: "OMG nothing compares! BEST beach and water I have ever experienced. Soft white sand and clear blue warm water. It's hypnotic."
@ susiemcgill - Ka'anapali Beach -
Maui, Hawaii - Traveler tip: "This is such a beautiful beach… there is ample sand and grass to sit on and really great snorkeling. The fish and turtles are plentiful… it feels really safe to go out far. Watching the whales jumping in the distance is a wonderful way to relax."
