Corfu

Poseidon himself probably created this island for his residence because Corfu’s beauty is really worth of the gods. Used as the backdrop for epic tales by both Homer and Shakespeare, Corfu has the most beautiful beaches in whole Greece. With the scent of olives and citrus carried by the wind from nearby groves is enough to refresh anyone, together with its sandy beaches it will make you feel as though you have found paradise. Corfu is every sun-seeker's dream no matter if you prefer the more isolated, but easily accessible, or the expansive, pebbly shores, because this island has it all. There are also many historical sites you can visit that will give you a glimpse of antiquity from Achilles’ era.

  Rio de Janeiro

The legendary Copacabana is without any doubt the most famous beach in the world with its sparkling white sand and coconut trees. Beautiful Brazilian girls are the main symbol of Copacabana, but beach volleyball and beach football are also globally associated with this beach. Marvelous city, as Rio de Janeiro is usually being called,  together with its popular Cariocas (natives born in this city), it will help you experience the time of your life so don’t hesitate to visit Copacabana.

Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands are usually associated with banking or tax reliefs, which is actually quite sad since the Cayman’s have amazing beaches. You can’t be wrong with the Caribbean’s since every island here is beautiful, but Cayman Islands have the best beaches in entire region. Gorgeous barrier reefs call to divers as the rum punch calls to the beach bums, so everybody can find an excuse to join the party on Cayman Islands.

Seychelles

This beach is perhaps one of the most desirable beaches in the world and it can frequently be seen on postcards and travel brochures. Pictures of Seychelles are the ones that make us decide to go on summer vacation since they lure you to spend your free holiday time on the beach and sunbathing. Having in mind that it is famous for its incredible beauty, Seychelles beach is the most photographed beach in the world. It has beautiful pale pink sands and turquoise water and this combination gives you an amazing view. When it comes to water itself, you need to know that it is relatively shallow and you will be protected by waves by a reef.

The Hamptons

One of the prettiest beaches on Long Island is definitely the one in New York City. The Hamptons is extremely popular place to go to during summer. The beach itself represents a kind of unspoiled nature and shoreline. It begins somewhere in Southampton and ends on the island at Montauk. It has beautiful dunes and waving grass and New Yorkers enjoy spending their summers here since it is a great way to escape from the crowded city.

Maldives

We are all familiar with this beach even if many of us did not see it in person. Many movies and shows have been recorded on Maldives and during summer season we can read how many celebrities spend their vacations on Maldives. And why shouldn’t they, since Maldives is an extraordinary beach to visit with its magnificent resorts and a wide offer of activities included in your visit. For example, you can swim among dozens of species of tropical fish and dive at about 24 meter underwater with a trained staff that will help you with anything you need. The island is a story for itself and all the comments are redundant. It is quite enough just to see the beach and it will tell you its own story.

There are of course many other beautiful and heaven-like beaches in the world and writing about them would give us quite a long list. But we cannot fail to mention Bora Bora on Tahiti, Lanikai Beach on Hawaii, Langkawi in Malaysia, Nantucket Island in Massachussets and so on. The fact is that each of the beaches is beautiful and grand in its own way and what you find beautiful on one beach might not be suitable for the other. But the important thing for you is to enjoy spending time on these amazing places.
