It is equipped with everything necessary for a relaxing and safe holiday and could top the rating of the best beaches in Moscow and the Moscow region. There is security, a first-aid post, lifeguards. There are changing cabins, showers, toilets and storage rooms. It is very comfortable to relax here with children - a special area with a gentle entrance to the water has been organized, two slides, a trampoline and playgrounds have been installed for children.

If there is a desire to have a bite, then this can be done in a cafe or barbecue.

The second beach area is completely isolated from the first and is more suitable for corporate events, parties and even weddings. There are snow-white tents with the same snow-white furniture. The list of entertainment services is as complete as possible. Guests can dine at the waterfront restaurant, which serves French and Italian cuisine.

Minibus No. 593M and trolleybuses No. 20, 21 go from the metro (from their final stop you will have to walk 200 meters).

But for small visitors there is a small area where swimming is much safer. On the shore there is everything you need - a first-aid post, changing rooms, toilets, showers. Lifeguards and security guards are constantly on duty. For those who do not like sunbathing on the ground, you can rent sun loungers. But there are few of them, and, as a rule, everything is quickly sorted out. On the territory there is a volleyball court, an inflatable trampoline, a playground. Animators work daily.

But there are certain problems with food and drinks in Serebryany Bor No. 2. There are several barbecue and cafes, but there are always queues in them. Therefore, it is better to stock up on everything you need in advance.

SEREBRYANY BOR BEACH №3

The third "Serebryany Bor" is located next to the second, but it is much larger in area. And the descent into the water is better there, and therefore it is more suitable for families with children. Entrance is also free.

How to get there

You just need to get into minibus No. 190M, and you still have to walk about 100 meters from its final stop. Free parking for 160 cars is provided for motorists. This is clearly not enough, as thousands of tourists come every day.

Description

Serebryany Bor Beach in Moscow stretches for 450 meters and is rightfully one of the best beaches in Moscow. It is sandy, with a very gentle entry into the water, which is perfect for families with children.

It is located on the general territory of Serebryany Bor, but this is a separate area, fenced off from other vacationers and having a special entrance. This paid beach in Moscow is perfect not only for relaxation, but also for various public events.

How to get there

Everyone goes to Serebryany Bor No. 1 from the same Polezhaevskaya metro station. You need to take the minibus number 190, from its final stop you will have to walk 100-150 meters. But it’s better to get there by private transport, there is a dedicated beach parking for 30 cars, to which a separate asphalt road leads.

Price

Entrance to the beach is free, but you will need to pay for the rental of a gazebo, in which you will be located. Rent costs from 2000 rubles per person.

Description

Serebryany Bor No. 1 is often called premium, hinting at the elite status of this beach. Noisy parties, weddings, corporate meetings and so on are often held here. The territory has everything you need for a comfortable stay - showers, changing rooms, a medical center, lifeguards and security guards work. The beach itself is sandy, with a very convenient entrance to the water, which will especially appeal to vacationers with children.

On the territory of Serebryany Bor No. 1 there is a restaurant where you can have a full meal and order a variety of snacks.

FLAGSHIP BEACH

Flagman Beach is one of the best beaches in the Moscow region. It is located 12 kilometers from Moscow on the banks of the Pirogovsky reservoir. This beach is perfect for a relaxing holiday with children, as well as for noisy parties.

How to get there

Transport accessibility is the most problematic issue for the Flagman beach, after all, it is located far from Moscow. Getting there on your own is problematic - special minibuses No. 438 run from the Medvedkovo metro station. More often, people go to the shore of the Pirogovsky reservoir in their own cars. There is private parking near the beach.

Price

"Flagman" belongs to the category of paid beaches in the Moscow region, but the price can be called symbolic: the entrance costs only 200 rubles per person, the rental of sunbeds and umbrellas is for a fee. If you come by car, you will need to pay for parking in the amount of 250 rubles.

Description

Flagman Beach stretches for several hundred meters. The entrance to the water here is heterogeneous - there are places where the depth immediately begins, and there are those in which it will be safe to swim even for children. On the territory there are a large number of gazebos that can be rented for a fee. There are changing rooms, showers and toilets. Lifeguards are constantly on duty. For children, there is a large playground and sandbox on the beach. Animators regularly hold entertainment events for kids. In addition, you can rent a boat, a scooter, various sports equipment (there are playgrounds for volleyball and football). If you get hungry, there are several cafes where they mainly cook kebabs and other dishes on coals.

There is also a separate area for parties and gala meetings under a large snow-white tent on the Flagman beach. This area is fenced off so no outsider can enter.

WHITE LAKE BEACH

Once on this place, Peter I commanded his Amusing Flotilla, and now it is one of the few beaches in Moscow, where swimming has been allowed for many years. At the same time, the entrance to the coast is free for everyone.

How to get there

The official address of the beach is Bolshaya Kosinskaya Street, 45. The nearest way is through the Vykhino metro station, from which you will need to transfer to buses No. about 600 meters. You can also get from the Novokosino metro station (buses No. 773, 723), Novogireevo (bus No. 573) and Perovo (bus No. 787). Among all the beaches in Moscow and the Moscow region where you can swim, White Lake beach is distinguished by the most exhausting road. The easiest way to get here is by car, but parking spaces are an eternal problem, and the parking itself is 300 meters from the entrance to the beach, and you still have to walk the last part of the way.

Description

The length of the beach is about 300 meters. Entering the water is quite problematic, as the bottom is muddy and there is a high risk of slipping. So if you go with children, it’s better not to let them go swimming alone. There is everything you need on the shore - rent of sun loungers, bathrooms, changing rooms, showers, lifeguard towers. But there is little entertainment: you can rent a boat, several small playgrounds are equipped, and the list ends here.

You can have a bite to eat in one of the small cafes on the beach. They have a fairly large selection of dishes, especially those cooked on coals. It is better to take drinking water with you - it is sometimes difficult to buy soft drinks on the beach.

LEFT BANK BEACH

This beach is located in the north of Moscow and has existed for almost 70 years. And regularly included in the list of those where they are allowed to swim. The entrance is free. Sometimes, depending on water and soil samples, a ban on swimming may be introduced on the beach.

Levoberezhny is located at Pribrezhny proezd, property 7. There are two ways to get to the beach. The first one is from the Rechnoy Vokzal metro station by buses No. 701M, 138M, 138, 270. You need to get to the Internat stop and then walk about 600 meters on foot. The second way from the metro station "Planernaya". Buses No. 176M or 173 will come up. The desired stop is called Coastal Passage, House 7, you still have to walk about a kilometer from it. Those who are going to go by car should be prepared to look for a place to park. Private beach parking is free, but too small.

Description

The Levoberezhny beach is located in a small bay, so the water there is always clean and warms up well. The coast is sandy, the entrance to the water is quite gentle. This is a big plus for families with children, although there is a separate swimming area for the little ones. There is plenty of entertainment on the beach. After a recent improvement, a large area with exercise equipment, a volleyball court appeared. For children, they built a whole children's town, reminiscent of a labyrinth. Well, of course, there are locker rooms, showers, toilets and rescue towers.

You can have a bite to eat in one of the cafes on the beach. The menu in the cafe is somewhat monotonous, but the dishes are hearty and inexpensive.

BEACH CLUB

Beach Club is located on the banks of the Khimki reservoir. It is regularly included in the list of Moscow beaches where you can swim, and is considered one of the best for families with children. The entrance is free. Rent sunbeds and umbrellas - for a fee.

How to get there

The beach is located at the address: Leningradsky Prospekt, Building 39, Building 23. You can get to it from the Voykovskaya and Vodny Stadion metro stations. Moreover, in both cases, you can simply walk, covering a distance of about 600 meters.

The territory has everything you need - locker rooms, showers, a first-aid post, lifeguards are constantly on duty.

On the territory of the "Beach Club" it is good to hold corporate parties, organize birthdays and weddings. For this, several tents have been set up, and restaurants are ready to offer a special menu.

Swimming bans may be temporarily placed on the beach depending on water samples. Please pay attention to the ads placed near the water. The Royal Bar is closed.

STROGINSKAYA POLIM

Stroginskaya floodplain is one of the most popular beaches in Moscow. Free admission, good infrastructure, easy to get to. These advantages even outweighed the fact that it was officially forbidden to swim there over the past few years. But the beach has gone through extensive landscaping work, and the situation has changed.

How to get there

The address of the Strogino floodplain is Marshal Katukov Street, 26. The easiest way to get to the beach is through the Strogino metro station, from which you can walk to the recreation area. You can also get there by private car, but, as usual, there are huge problems with parking.

Description

"Stroginskaya floodplain" stretched for several hundred meters. The coast is sandy with a fairly gentle entry into the water. After reconstruction, 12 sports grounds and 5 playgrounds were built on the beach. All the necessary infrastructure has appeared - locker rooms, showers, toilets, rescue towers. More recently, this area has not been landscaped. Now in Strogino it is good to relax with the whole family or a large company. For those who prefer rest with even greater comfort, there is a closed paid beach area.

You can have a bite to eat in one of the cafes or pavilions, which offer mostly a fairly simple menu or fast food. It is better to stock up on drinking water in advance, as it can be difficult to obtain on the spot.

Sometimes, after taking regular water samples, it is forbidden to swim in the Stroginskaya floodplain, but you can still sunbathe here all summer.

ACADEMIC POND

Academic Ponds is one of the most popular recreational areas in the Northern District of Moscow. For a long time, this reservoir was one of the beaches in Moscow where it is forbidden to swim. Later, the beach experienced a large-scale improvement. This summer, depending on the results of water tests on the beach, a ban on swimming may be introduced periodically.

How to get there

Academic Ponds are located at 38 Bolshaya Akademicheskaya Street. The best way to get there is by car, although you will have to park somewhere in the yards of neighboring houses. If you choose public transport, then buses No. 179, 282, 114 run from the Petrovsko-Razumovskaya station. You need to get to the stop "Nauka Stadium".

Prices

Entrance to the beach from 8 am to midnight. It is paid, but the amount can be called symbolic - 100 rubles per person.

As entertainment for children - several playgrounds and attractions. Adults can play volleyball, table tennis, badminton. Billiard tables can be rented for a fee.

It is difficult to choose the best beach in Greece. Which beach is best for families with children? Where is the best place to swim? Which beach is best for parties? Which beach is best for snorkeling?

Everyone has their own criteria for the perfect beach. Add to this the fact that many islands in Greece have 20 or more beaches, how can you not make a mistake with the choice?

Crete

Elafonisi (Elafonisos)

Mylopotas (Mylopotas)

red beach

Santorini has the most amazing beaches in all of Greece. Here you will not find white sand, but because of the volcanic rocks, it is full of red, gray and black. The red beach is considered wild, but there is also a toilet and sun loungers. It is very beautiful here, red sand, rocks and azure water. I advise you to carefully swim in light-colored swimsuits, because the water can stain them.

Perissa beach

Long and wide beach with crystal clear azure water. Near the beach there are many inexpensive restaurants (taverns) where you can eat deliciously. Be careful, on this beach the bottom very quickly disappears from under your feet, closer to the smaller rocks. The sand here is black, so, again, towels, swimwear, everything can be stained, rent sunbeds, fortunately, they are inexpensive here - 5 euros per day. Do not wear light-colored shoes either, although there are paths along the entire beach, it is very hot to walk barefoot on the black sand.

Naxos

Plaka beach

The island of Naxos in Greece has a lot of wonderful beaches. And if you are a beach lover, then you will like this island. Well, the best beach on Naxos is Plaka. From the city of Naxos, a regular bus runs here every half an hour. It is usually not crowded here, the sand is fine, even and beautiful, the water is clear and azure. If you move a little away from the "civilized" beach with sun loungers and taverns, then you can strip naked, no one will see you.

Paros

Logaras beach

Paros is one of my favorite islands. There are many beautiful beaches here, such as Pounda and Piso Livadi, but they are very popular and always crowded. I like a more secluded holiday, so I chose Logaras. From the waves and wind, it is perfectly covered by a rock, so you can safely swim here.

Mykonos

Paradise Beach

This beach is hardly suitable for family holidays, it is primarily designed for young people. There is always fun and a lot of representatives of sexual minorities. After 15 - 16 hours on Paradise turn on the music and the party begins, at night there are parties here and famous DJs come. Imagine Ibiza? Here is something similar. The beach itself is very good, coarse sand, excellent water.

Ornos beach

Myrtos beach

Very beautiful beach with white pebbles. To be in Kefalonia and not see Myrtos is a grave crime. But with swimming, everything is somewhat more complicated. The entry into the water is deep, it is better not to go here with children. Well, even without special shoes it is quite painful to go into the sea because of the pebbles.

Price statistics for tours to Greece

If you are not yet ready to travel on your own, then price statistics for tours to Greece will help you. Here you can find the lowest prices for holidays in Greece from leading tour operators.

Useful advice

Save on housing by renting from locals with Airbnb. Get 2100 rubles. as a gift for the first booking.

Corfu

Paleokastritsa beach

Another beautiful beach in Greece. It is small and cozy. There are many taverns with delicious food and you can take a boat tour of the local caves.

Milos

Sarakiniko beach

To be honest, this is not exactly a beach, in the conventional sense of the word, but rather a small sea pool. The landscape here is fantastic, whimsical white stones and emerald water between them. It is easily accessible by bus from Adamas. Be sure to visit the caves located next to the beach, it's very beautiful.

Skopelos

Staphylos beach

This beach has fantastically clear and clean water. Very beautiful view, but difficult descent from the mountain. The beach is not equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, you need to drag everything with you. There are no trees nearby, which means there is no shade. You rarely see tourists here, but there are many locals. If you go a little further and climb over a small hill, there will be a beach for nudists. The bottom of the sea is pebbly and there are many fish. But diving is great here.

Sifnos

Kamares beach

Sifnos is a very calm island with many beaches and Kamares is one of the best. This beach is great for families with children, there are many taverns and hotels nearby.

Skiathos

Koukounaries beach

In every sense a golden beach. Here the golden sand and Koukounaries are truly beautiful. I advise you to come early, before 11, to take all the best sunbeds. Lots of beach taverns, lots of water sports equipment. The entry into the sea is shallow, it is great to relax here with children. Around the pines and very tasty smells of pine needles. There are many vacationers.

Popular and idyllically secluded, wild and equipped with everything you need for a quality holiday. Those that will appeal to a tireless traveler, a risky athlete, a responsible family man, an incorrigible romantic or a couple in love. What are the best beaches in Europe?

Plage de Palombaggia (Plage de Palombaggia)

The most famous and best beach of Corsica is located in France, in the city of Porto-Vecchio, on the southeast coast. The two-kilometer coastline of fine golden sand is surrounded by mountains and a pine forest where you can hide from the hot rays of the sun. It is a paradise with clear turquoise water, pink porphyry boulders, national color and a wide range of activities, including boat trips to the islands of Cerbicales and Lavezzi. People often come here with children - parents like the cleanliness of the beach and smooth slopes to the water.

Elafonisi (Elafonisi)

A fabulously beautiful beach with pink sand is the decoration of the island of the same name and the whole of Crete. You will find it in the southwest of, visiting the snow-white stone monastery of Panagia Chrysoskalitissa along the way. Since Elafonisi is located in a protected area, there are only the most necessary things on the beach - sunbeds and umbrellas, showers and toilets, small cafes. But at the service of vacationers, the crystal clearness of warm water and the coast, which, due to tiny fragments of shells, sea shells and corals, becomes either pale peach or purple.

Spiaggia dei Conigli (Rabbit Beach)

The beach, located on the Italian island of Lampedusa (south of Sicily, between Malta and Tunisia), has been repeatedly recognized as one of the most beautiful not only in Europe, but on the entire planet. You can get to it only by sea, but the remoteness from civilization, impressive landscape, abundance of coral reefs, gentle sand and amazingly colored water are worth it. Spiaggia dei Conigli attracts connoisseurs of natural beauties, diving enthusiasts and those who are looking for an opportunity to relax and have fun.

Playa de ses Illetes (Playa de ses Illetes)

The beach, which is located on the quietest of the Balearic Islands, Formentera, can be reached by ferry from Ibiza, breaking the road from the port by car or bicycle. As a reward, a reserved place will act - a beautiful beach with silvery sand and pale blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea. There are always a lot of people here, so regulars recommend spending time on a yacht. In terms of infrastructure development, Formentera is inferior to Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza, but there are many good hotels and fish restaurants near Playa de ses Illetes.

Cala Mariolu (Cala Mariolu)

Mariolu Bay is located 50 km from the Gennargentu National Park with mountain lakes and snow-capped peaks. A small Italian beach surrounded by brutal cliffs is reached by boat or private boat, which regularly leaves the port of Cala Gonone (a seaside town in Sardinia). This tropical idyll is remembered for its smooth white marble pebbles - on the shore it seems pink, and shimmers in millions of shades in the water. It is quite shallow here, so vacationers often take their children with them.

Falesia (Falesia)

The rating of the best beaches in Europe is difficult to imagine without this section of the southern coast of Portugal. The main advantages of the beach are a small number of visitors, fine sand and picturesque coastal cliffs of all shades of ocher, sheerly descending to the ocean. Its turquoise waters and clear skies are a luxurious setting for endless layers of rock cut. Add to this the transparent air, purified by sprawling pine crowns, perfectly heated water, many bays for secluded relaxation, walking distance to hotels and transport stops.

Iztuzu (Iztuzu - Turtle Coast)

Spiaggia della Pelosa (Pelosa)

A beautiful beach on the Gulf of Asinara in Sardinia is a landmark of the city of Stintino, surrounded by cozy hotels and villas. This is one of the best sandy beaches in Europe with azure sea water, shallow depth and advanced infrastructure - sun loungers, umbrellas and boats are offered for rent, and local restaurants and cafes invite you to have a delicious lunch. The surrounding islands protect the Spiaggia della Pelosa from strong winds, so a pleasant holiday in the European Caribbean is guaranteed at any time of the year.

Praia Da Rocha is a real holiday for those who are in love with the lively atmosphere of Portugal and nature, which has preserved its originality on the edge of Europe.

La Concha (La Concha)

This sandy beach got its name from the Spanish word for "shell". It is its shape that exactly repeats the bay of the same name. La Concha belongs to the city of San Sebastian and is a clear example of how perfect a vacation spot by the Atlantic Ocean can be - even in winter, when its waters are quite cool, you can meet swimmers here. You will find a beach of fine sand and peaceful views between the fishing port and the rocky outcrop of Pico del Loro, behind which is Ondaretta Beach.

The Cayman Islands are an archipelago south of Cuba and northwest of Jamaica, belong to the UK. The largest of them is Grand Cayman. The best hotels operate on an all-inclusive basis for lovers of a relaxing holiday without much hassle. The beaches are public and open to everyone.

Tall palm trees and other tropical greenery provide a pleasant shade in which to hide from the sun at noon. The depth near the shore is small, the water warms up well. Dangerous marine life rarely swim up to the shore and do not interfere with vacationers.

The best hotels offer their guests beach chairs, palm leaf canopies, beach tables, wooden paths from the hotel entrance to the water's edge, refrigerators with ice cream and soft drinks, cafes, restaurants and much more. Lifeguards are on duty on the shore and on the boat.

On the "Seven Mile" beach, you can completely get by with one towel. The sand almost does not heat up and you can lie on it without fear of burns. The hotel administration and local city services are responsible for cleanliness here.

For most people who prefer to actively travel the world, the enchanting Caymans remain the most desirable destination in the Caribbean archipelago. Luxurious barrier reefs attract divers from all over the world, like sweet soda on a hot day attracts bees.

No. 4. Seychelles

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 are small pearls scattered over 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. Seychelles are easy to recognize by massive boulders near the water.

Many islands of the archipelago are uninhabited, so finding your secluded corner is more than possible. The port of Mahé has a huge selection of yachts and small boats, making it easy to explore the area. But do not flatter yourself, you will be accompanied by huge sea turtles and colorful birds, which live in large numbers in tropical thickets. Keep your camera handy and be prepared for unexpected encounters.

Anse Source d'Argent, located on La Digue Island, is rightfully considered one of the best beaches in the world. It can hardly be called suitable for swimming, but in beauty it surpasses most of the famous beaches. Amazingly shaped rocks and huge boulders add mystery to the coastline.

No. 3. Marietas Islands

The Marietas Islands (Las Marietas) do not have exotic plants, rare birds or century-old sea turtles. 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 areas, of volcanic origin, covered with bright green grass. The place itself is an amazing natural phenomenon. On the edge of one of the islands there is a gaping hole in which azure water splashes and snow-white sand flashes. “Secret Beach – this is the name Playa del Amor is known to tourists and photographers all over the world.

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

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

It can only be reached by 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 freely to one of the best beaches in the world.

How to get to Marietas

With at least two transfers, 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 feeling of swimming through a rock tunnel and swimming on one of the best beaches in the world is worth more 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 Harbor destroys all stereotypes. It is only 5.5 km long, and the width of this tiny part of the Bahamas is only 2.5 km. The main attraction of the atoll is Pink Sand Beach.

This is almost five kilometers of pink sand, located on the east coast of the Harbor. The unusual shade of the coastline is given by the shells of the mollusk Foraminifera (foraminifera), which lives in large numbers in the ocean. 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 relaxing pastime. The locals are provincially slow and friendly.

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

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

How to get to the Bahamas

The nearest airport is on Governors Harbor Atoll. It accepts only small planes of local airlines. Therefore, you will have to fly here with at least two transfers through the Bahamian capital of 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 to the Philippines. More than 7,000 islands, scattered over 2,000 kilometers between Indonesia and Taiwan, are waiting for you.

One of them is called Boracay. Its main feature is 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 bright tropical greenery and snow-white coastal strip. For this reason, the sand almost does not heat up and it is very pleasant to walk on it barefoot. This is a public 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's not needed here. Just keep in mind that white sand reflects the sun's rays much more strongly, which means you can't do without sunscreen and good sunglasses on the best beach.

The water is so clear that it resembles a mineral water. Coral reefs are located a short distance from the coast, so it is better 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, is found here.

The temperature allows you to swim even after sunset, but tourists and locals spend the night on the island in a completely different way. Boracay is the nightlife capital of the Philippines. All the best bars, clubs and discos are open for tourists until the morning. This diversity of White Beach features makes it the best beach in the world by any measure.

How to get to the Philippines

There is no airport on Boracay, but just a couple of kilometers away 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”.
