Summer comes with glorious sunshine and serious wanderlust, luring us all somewhere on a beautiful shore, be it a an endless stretch of golden sand, a secluded white cove with sparkling turquoise waters, or anything in between.
From Spain to Seychelles, here are 10 of the world’s most beautiful beaches:
Cocoa Island Beaches, Maldives
There’s no such thing as ugly beach in the Maldives, but the white, pristine sands and shimmering sapphire waters at Cocoa Island are pure perfection.
Phra Nang Beach, Thailand
Sheltered by soaring limestone cliffs and bathed by the shallow emerald waters of the Andaman Sea, Phra Nang on the Railay peninsula is one of Thailand’s most spectacular beaches. The area is especially famous among rock climbers who come here to take in the jaw-droppingly beautiful scenery or jump off the intimidating cliffs, and can only be reached by longtail boat from Ao Nang.
