Seven Amazing Beach in the World
1. Las Islas Cies, Galicia, Spain
Mention the coast of Spainand most
peopleinstinctively thinkabout theMediterranean.But
the wild,stunning Atlanticcoast of Galicia,northernPortugal, has been far moredramatic praias -
with people far less on the40-minute boatmereka.Perjalanan pretty town of Baiona. After
the pirates' haunt, CIES is now a national park are uninhabited and pristine, open to the public only
insummer. Galegos come here to spend long, hot summer days are lazy in
Praia das Rodas, a perfect crescent of
soft, pale sand backed by smalldunes sheltering lagoon calm crystal-clear sea.
Residents call it the "Caribbean beach" them, and pretty turquoise water,white sand enough to believe the
comparison ... until you dip your toe in thewater. Then it feels more like Skegness. You can sleep
in a beautifulcampground, shaded by pine trees are high, with sea views. And, this beingSpain, there is
even a restaurant serving great seafood right.
2. Tayrona national park, Colombia
Perhaps A Fewcabanas for the tourists.After a 40 minute walkthrough the woods, I'mwaiting to see a
classicCaribbean beach, allwhite sand and calmturquoise water,perhaps a few cabanasfor the
tourists. Instead I
was greeted with a wildsea crashing on to rocks the size of houses are dotted along That theuntamed an
d semi-deserted beach. Instead I was greeted with wild seacrashing on rocks the size
of houses that dotted the coast along the wildand semi-deserted. In an industrial country with
a "healthy" Tayrona touristresort will
undoubtedly become large, but because it's in Colombia the virginrainforest cascades down the
mountain to the right of pasir.Dan no one on itsave a small community of backpackers who sleep in the
hammock open.
On arrival I was walking along, admiring the raw beauty and remoteness ofthe place but after just
10 minutes I literally walked into my friend Jim! That is where the unexpected for "You'll never guess who
I met with the" travel story, and made for the best beach holiday I have ever
had. I gather it'sbecome more popular in the ten years since I was there, but thanks
tonational park status the developers have been kept at bay
3. Porto da Barra, Salvador, Brazil
Sydney hasBondi, LA hasVenice, Rio hasCopacabana andIpanema - townbeaches areworld
famousand a goodmicrocosm oftheir own city. I live in Salvador,Brazil's oldestcity, for
severalyears and Porto da Barra was where I would come for a morning swim or a cold beer in the
afternoon. The location is stunning, at the entrance of theBahia de Todos os Santos majestic, with
a fort, a small white colonial on one end and a white church sits on a hill at the other end. There is
alwayssomething going on here: small fishing boats unloading their catch, young men dive into the
sea from the port of an old stone wall, the boys watchedthe older girls, beach
volleyball, soccer and tennis. Like the beach in the bayand calm waters as well (given that he is right in
the heart of Brazil's thirdlargest) is very clean and clear, making it perfect for swimming. And in a
country with more than 7,000 miles from east-facing beaches, the Porto isone of the few facing west, so
you can watch some amazing sunsets.
4. Anywhere on Palawan, the Philippines
Although AlexGarland'sbackpackerodyssey The Beach is set in Thailand, he took a lot of inspiration for
the location ofthe Philippines.As someonewho has been to Thailand in the last decade will tell you, the
possibility of establishing a very quiet island paradise itself in a country that has become
synonymous with thebackpacker superhighway is close to nil. The Philippines, on the
other handhas over 7.000 islands, a fraction of
the tourists and so many desertedbeaches That it's easy to hire a fishing boat, sail off into the sun and cre
ateyour very own "Beach". Philippines, on the other hand has more than 7,000 islands, a fraction of the
tourists and the beaches are deserted so mucheasier to hire a fishing boat, sailing away to
the sun and make your own "Beach".
Group of western Palawan Island, Philippines that even described as thelast frontier of their country,
which is unimaginable exotic and tropical. It is alimestone island archipelago with an underground
river jagged, rocky bay,virgin forest and, of course, sugar-sand beaches putih.Honda Bay, whichhas
several islands including Cannon Island, Bat Island and Starfish Island, isone of the most popular but the
fun in Palawan is in discovering your owndeserted stretch of sand.
5. Nungwi, Zanzibar, Tanzania
Beaches ofsouthern Kenya and northernTanzania is the only one whoever walked onwhere thepowder is
veryfine white sandliterally squeaksbetween your toes. ZanzibarIsland is the jewel of the eastcoast
of Africa, with its spice trade, labyrinthine old Stone Town and, of course, about
30 beaches, nearly all of which died for. One of the best isNungwi, near the northern tip of the island. One
of the best is Nungwi, nearthe northern tip of the island. The coastline has a shallow slope so that
thesapphire water, white sand and coral build-ups to form a calm sea which stretches for miles and is
home to thousands of marine animals. Decorated with small fishing villages that have barely
changed in centuries, theZanzibar coastline has a dreamy timeless air.
6. Arambol, Goa, India
"There's nothingworse than some fool lyingon the
beachwearing somethird worldspandex,psychedelictrousers,smoking damndope pretendinghe gettincons
ciousnessexpansion ',"sang Alabama 3 on their hilarious Is not Going to Goa. For that some holygrail
of hippy hedonism for others it is the worst excesses of modern travel.Arambol, north coast of the
country has its share of aging hippies andseasonal expats, but stretching, spectacular sweeping
the sand is sobeautiful it wins over even the most jaded and cynical passengers. It is somuch that it is
easy to find your personal corner of the sand. Around therocky headland there is another beach where
you can walk for mileswithout passing through the soul, or hanging out in the freshwater lakebacked by
forests kecil.Old-timers will tell you the original hippies would sometimes get a bad surprise here from
the odd wild tiger.
7. Whitehaven, Whitsunday Islands, Queensland, Australia
There are dozens ofcandidates for the coast of Australia's best coat,but for picture-
postcard,thin gorgeousnessWhitehaven drop-off is very special. Imaginesuper-
fine, white silicasand surrounded bywarm, clear, azure
waters sandwichedbetween tropical forest with various islands around the dots in the distance.Make sure
you come for longer than one day (the preferred option) as thefollowing day cruisers have left you can
walk around here, or huddled in the shade of the forest and feel like you have an uninhabited piece
of paradiseall to yourself sendiri.Ini enough to travel to Whitehaven, surfing is not up tomuch and for half
a year you should wear stinger suit to swim in the sea -but this is a small price to pay for such beauty.
