I read this quote somewhere “You are one step closer to heaven when you are at the beach” and I think everybody would agree with me when I say that beaches are the best places to sunbathe, relax, play, talk, chill, kick away the winter blues, and watch the sunset. Life’s a beach, or so they say. There is not a single reason why one would not like chilling at the beach, and there are multiple reasons to love a beach. The sun, the sand, the water and the breeze – everything brings peace, and makes you feel infinite!

Below is the roundup of the 18 best beaches in the world, in no particular order.
