If you are one of the unlucky people that lives in somewhat colder climbs and needs a bit of brightening up, we thought we would share with you the top 10 beaches in the world as unveiled by travel gurus FlightNetwork.
- Grace Bay: Turks and Caicos
Tucked away in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, Grace Bay is the picture-perfect landscape that wouldn’t look out of play in any Hollywood blockbuster. Relatively quiet, but still boasting the Grace Bay Club, it is perfect if you are looking for a vibrant atmosphere.
- Whitehaven Beach: Australia
Found on Whitsunday Island, the beach stretches for 7KM and is perfect for those in search of R&R. There are no shops or restaurants so attracts fewer visitors than you would imagine looking at the views.
- Anse Lazio: Seychelles
Ideal for snorkelling and Scuba fans, Anse Lazio is ideal for those wishing to see shoals of tropical fish – and even the occasional ray – which live in the waters, and make for a truly once-in-a-lifetime sight.
- Pink Sands Beach: Bahamas
It is the dusky pink sands that give the place its wonderful name and they are great places to pick up some rays or paddle in the tranquil waters.
- Navagio Beach: Greece
Said to be one of the most photographed places in the world, Navagio Bay is a small cove on the Zakynthos and can only beach reach by boat. The beach itself is pebbled and not ideal but it certainly deserves its place on the list
- Baia Dos Porcos: Brazil
The beach is made up of many pebbles although there is sand is some places, it is the formations on the beach that makes the place simply breath-taking.
- Playa Parisco: Mexico
Towering palm trees, white sands, turquoise waters – this beach has it all. The waters are quite shallow making them ideal for families. The place also has some superb restaurants to grab a spot of lunch or maybe a cool drink.
- Hyams Beach: Australia
The place has it all! It’s a great place to walk, sit on the sandy beach or even partake in surfing – everyone is catered for at Hymas.
- Hidden Beach: Mexico
Found on Marieta Islands, you can only swim to the beach via a short tunnel which is rumoured to be a former bombsite.
