Beaches where I would so like to be right now
Oh, beaches — no matter how much we write about them, no matter how many photos we post, but it's not enough for us. Of course! This is, without question, one of the most pleasant places on earth, even if we are talking about a beach in Gelendzhik, and not about an exotic coast with access to the Caribbean Sea. We offer you a selection of the most interesting beaches in the world. Interesting not only for its beauty and exoticism, but also for something else.
Tasmanian National Park, New Zealand. There is a 144 km long beach in New Zealand, although this secluded stretch looks much more attractive, doesn't it?
Navaggio Beach, Greece. It is also known as Shipwreck Beach — because of the 50-meter wreckage right in the center. It is believed that it was a smuggling vessel.
Ekulsaurloon Beach, Iceland.
The black color of the sand is explained by its volcanic origin, and the icicles are a "product of the vital activity" of a neighboring glacier flowing into the lagoon.
Golden Horn, Croatia. Depending on the prevailing winds, the tip of this beach changes its direction.
Lucky Bay, Australia. The beach is located on the territory of the national park. One of the favorite places for kangaroos. Admit it, don't you envy him now?
Glass Beach, California. Although these pieces of glass look beautiful, in fact they are garbage that is washed up on this shore and which is eventually "rolled in" by the sea. And sad and beautiful.
"Tropical Islands", Germany. Yes, it's not a real beach. Well, I mean, not natural.
It is located in a former hangar. But here you can swim and relax even in winter.
The secret beach of the Marietas Islands in Mexico. Marietas Islands is a Mexican national park, which in 2008 UNESCO included in the list of the most important biosphere reserves in the world. The main attraction of the islands is the "lovers' beach", better known as the "hidden beach". The place resembles a huge natural pool, and to get to the beach, you need to swim through a short tunnel.
Papakolea, Hawaii. One of the four beaches in the world where you will see green sand. A mineral called olivine is responsible for such an unusual shade.
Maldives. Bioluminescent polyplankton illuminates the sand, turning an already beautiful beach into a real light show.
Seashell Beach, Australia. This beach consists entirely of seashells and stretches for about 112 km. Of course, if you go to the beach to build sand castles, then this is clearly not your option.
Ance Surce d'Argent, Seychelles. Thanks to the pink sands and granite rocks along the coast, this beach can easily be called one of the main ones in all the Seychelles.
Red sand beach, Hawaii. This amazing beach has a red hue due to the high iron content in the surrounding rocks.
McVay Falls in Big Sur, California. This beautiful beach boasts a 24-meter waterfall that flows here all year round. This is one of the 20 waterfalls in the world that drain directly into the ocean.
Whitehaven Beach, Australia. At low tide, the Hill tributary turns into a winding river of white sand and turquoise water.
Rock Sound, Bahamas. The world-famous pink sands of the Bahamas and the crystal clear waters surrounding them make this beach one of the main destinations for hundreds of thousands of tourists.
Phi Phi Le, Thailand. The bay is surrounded by large forested rocks. The same "Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio was filmed here.
Hymes Beach, Australia. Entered the Guinness Book of Records as the beach with the whitest sand in the world.
Wine Glass Beach, Tasmania.
The almost perfect curve of the bay looks just as amazing from the shore as from a bird's-eye view.
Benagil, Portugal.
Motu Tehotu, Bora Bora. Bora Bora is known not only for its above-water bungalows, but also for some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
