No. 4. Seychelles

The fourth place in the ranking of "The best beaches in the world" is occupied by the Seychelles. 115 mysterious pieces of land scattered in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa. Looking from a great height, it seems that these small pearls are scattered on light blue silk.

The sand here is really close in color to mother-of-pearl. And from coast to coast, it takes on a different shade. The Seychelles are easily recognizable by the massive boulders right next to the water.

Many islands of the archipelago are uninhabited, so finding your own secluded corner is more than possible. The port of Mahé has a huge selection of yachts and small boats, allowing you to explore the area without hindrance. But do not delude yourself, you will be accompanied by huge sea turtles and colorful birds that live in large numbers in tropical thickets.

No. 3. Marietas Islands

There are no exotic plants, rare birds or century-old sea turtles on the islands of Las Marietas. Pirates did not hide treasures here and there are no luxury hotels. But one look at Playa del Amor is enough to exclaim "the best beach in the world!"

Marietas is a chain of flat land, volcanic origin, covered with bright green grass. This place itself is an amazing natural phenomenon. On the edge of one of the islets, there is a gaping hole in which azure water splashes and snow-white sand flickers. “The secret beach - this is the name Playa del Amor is known for by tourists and photographers all over the world.

According to rumors, Playa del Amor was not formed as a result of natural processes on the earth's surface. The Mexican government has used the archipelago as a testing ground since 1900. The military systematically produced underground explosions, as a result of which grottoes and caves were formed.

The scientist Jacques-Yves Cousteau in the 60s did a great job to stop the destructive human activity on Marietas. In 2005, the landfill site became a national park. Today you can swim, dive and enjoy the sun here.

It can only be reached through a long tunnel that connects it to the Pacific Ocean. The dome of the tunnel is about 2 meters above the water level. A kayak or kayak will allow you to swim unhindered to one of the best beaches in the world.

How to get to Marietas

With at least two connections, American Airline and Iberia will take you to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. From where you can book a boat or speedboat to get to Playa del Amor. The road will take a long time and will be really expensive, but the incredible sensations from swimming through a rocky tunnel and swimming on one of the best beaches in the world are more expensive than any money.

No. 2. Bahamas

When people hear about the Bahamas, the first thing that comes to mind is a number of fantastic resorts and casinos such as Nassau, Paradise Island and Cable Beach. Yes, these are almost the best beaches in the world. The small island of Harbor destroys all stereotypes. It is only 5.5 km long, and this tiny part of the Bahamas is only 2.5 km wide. The main attraction of the atoll is Pink Sand Beach.

It is almost five kilometers of pink sand located on the east coast of Harbor. The shells of the foraminifera mollusc, which live in abundance in the ocean, give an unusual shade of the coastline. Depending on the season, the coastal strip can become intensely pink, or vice versa, almost white with a slight pinkish tint.

Protected from the oncoming waves of the Atlantic by a coral reef, the beach is ideal for relaxation. The energy of the place contributes to a calm pastime. The local people are provincial and slow and friendly.

Cozy home hotels offer tourists luxurious living conditions. Breakfast - on the open terrace, allowing you to breathe in the aroma of the morning breeze, dinner - surrounded by hundreds of candles on soft pillows near the water. Tourists prefer to dine in small restaurants, where the owner meets each guest and himself escorts to the table.

However, do not confuse a laid-back "country" vacation with the pathos of luxury hotels, which abound on the beach. Evening dresses and tuxedos are a must-have dinner attribute for select guests. Celebrities like to rest on Pink Sand Beach: Keith Richards, Robin Williams, Susan Sarandon and many others. Glossy magazines love photographs of models against a backdrop of pink sand.

How to get to the Bahamas

The nearest airport is Governors-Harbor Atoll. It only accepts small local airlines. Therefore, you will have to fly here with at least two transfers through the Bahamian capital Nassau and New York. The road will take at least 20 hours, but you should definitely see Pink Sand Beach.

No. 1. Philippine Islands

Can you imagine standing ankle-deep in powdered sugar? Unlikely. This can become a reality if you travel around the Philippines. More than 7 thousand islands, scattered over 2 thousand kilometers between Indonesia and Taiwan, await you.

One of them is called Boracay. Its main feature is the blinding white and fine sand on one of the many beaches. It ranks first in our ranking of the "best beaches in the world".

The best beach in the world, White Beach, surprises with the contrast of vibrant tropical greenery and snow-white coastal strip. For this reason, the sand hardly heats up and it is very pleasant to walk on it barefoot. This is a municipal place open to the public. Everything is very democratic and accessible.

There is a strict official ban on any wheeled vehicles and an unofficial ban on shoes. She is not needed here. Just keep in mind that the white sand reflects the sun's rays much more strongly, which means that you can't do without sunscreen and good sunglasses on the best beach.

The water is so clear that it looks like mineral water. Coral reefs are located a short distance from the coast, so it is best to get there by boat. Diving in the Philippines is very interesting, but it doesn't hurt to be careful. One of the most dangerous living creatures in the world, the Sea Wasp jellyfish, can be found here.

The temperature allows you to swim even after sunset, but tourists and locals devote the night on the island to something completely different. Boracay is the nightlife capital of the Philippines. All the best bars, clubs and discos are open to tourists until the morning. This variety of possibilities makes White Beach the best beach in the world in all respects.

How to get to the Philippines

There is no airport on Boracay, but just a couple of kilometers from it on the neighboring island is Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, better known as Caticlan. Some 15 hours, and you can enjoy the best beach in the world, standing ankle-deep in powdered sugar.

My ranking of the best beaches in the world 2017

In four years my top best beaches have changed a lot.
If in the previous article I loved the Caribbean region - the majority of my favorite beaches were there, now the Caribbean is at the bottom of the list.

Now, going to rest at sea, I in addition to the budget of the trip, I also estimate the hardships of the road: flight duration, airline service, ease of movement and transfers on the spot.

The Caribbean is not an option, and I wrote about this after returning from another trip from Central America:.
However, the criterion for assessing the beach for me is the same and I quote myself:

What is the best beach in the world for me

- clean, clear and fairly calm water;
- Convenient entry into the water - in order to swim, I don't have to walk 100 meters knee-deep;
- the cleanliness of the beach
Best option: coral white sand that does not heat up in the sun like a frying pan
- minimum of people on the beach.
If sausages are launched on the beach by parachute, jets are thundered by aquabikes - this beach sucks;
- maximum wildlife: I like to have something other than a seal lying next to the beach, because I can't lie on the beach for more than 5 minutes.

The easiest and most affordable sea vacation for me is this.
Judge for yourself: fly to the place 3-4 hours ().

Understandable and healthy food: meat, fish, vegetables, herbs, feta cheese, olive oil.
The cleanest sea and beautiful nature around.

Affordable, albeit modest accommodation - apartments (search on booking.com or on the airbnb website)
Therefore, I'll start with Greece.

Greece

Forgive me Portugal lovers! Your favorite beaches - I absolutely do not like it.

Croatia

Thailand

- In the last year, the holiday season has shifted, and it was quite exciting on these beaches, usually calm in winter.
But still Phuket is the easiest and fastest way to get into summer from the wet Russian autumn / winter (

Where is the best place to swim?

Basically, beaches with the possibility of swimming are located near rivers and lakes, but there are also developed sand and gravel pits filled with water. The site presents the best selected beach options. The guides will show you reservoirs that receive running water from a river or spring - it is in such places that it is safe to swim.

Travel agencies offer and just relax by the water on the free beaches - there are also showers and changing rooms, but it is worth considering that on weekends there can be many vacationers.

Going to the beach

In general, you can stop at any river for rest, but you don't always have the opportunity to swim.
