Summer Fun
After what feels like years of shying away from the cold weather indoors, it only makes sense that travelers around the world would be looking for fantastic ways to spend time out in the sun this summer with their hidden travel wallet. What better way to enjoy the beautiful rays than to kick back and relax on some of the softest, sandiest beaches around?
Whether you’re the kind of person who loves to swim in the ocean and soak up some of those natural healing powers, someone who loves exploring old forgotten cave, or a standard sun-lounger, we’ve put together a list of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. If you can’t find at least one place to visit out of the following collection, we’ll eat our straw hats.
1. The Hidden Beach – Mexico
Sometimes summer fun can be a little mysterious too. If you visit the Marietta Islands near Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, you’ll discover an incredible little gem known as the hidden beach. Though this destination is no longer quite as secretive as the name suggests, the beach is rumored to have been created by the Mexican military when it was detonating the first test bombs during the early 1900s.
If you’re looking for a vacation destination that’s not only stunning, but great for improving your street-cred, grab your hidden travel wallet and head here. Not only is it one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, but it’ll be tough to find another underground sun-spot quite like it.
2. Ipanema Beach – Brazil
There’s a good reason why a lot of people automatically associate Brazil with things that are sizzling and sexy. The city of Rio de Janeiro is just as feisty and hot as it’s locals, and the Ipanema beach is a renowned location for party-goers and sun-worshippers around the world. If you want a break from simply lying back on the sand, you can always stroll along the boardwalk and check out what the local vendors are selling.
If you’re a fitness freak, Brazil can also be the perfect place to pump your pecs in the sun, thanks to its unique collections of waterfront gyms. Just keep your security money belt handy.
3. Anse Source d’Argent – Seychelles
One glance at the beaches in the Seychelles and you’ll be dreaming of beautiful sun-kissed vacations. This stunning location is perhaps one of the most majestic, and enchanting places in the world, with pink sand and towering cliffs that come together to make it one of the most photographed beaches in the world.
If the promise of warm water and stunning sunsets wasn’t enough to get you strapping on your money protection wallet, how about the fact that the Veuve Nature Reserve nearby is the last place on earth where anyone can see the black paradise flycatcher bird. Bird-watchers of the world unite!
4. Maya Bay – Thailand
If you’ve ever seen the cult movie “The Beach” then you’ll already be aware of this destination. This stunning tropical destination was used as the backdrop for the movie – probably because the directors couldn’t settle for anything less than one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Tropical and cultural at the same time, Maya Bay is located within Ko Phi Phi, and when you’re there, you’ll also be pleased to learn that you should be able to get your hands on plenty of cheap Thai beer. In other words – if you’re looking for a budget-friendly party destination to visit with your hidden travel wallet – we’ve got you covered.
5. Paradise Beach – Greece
It’d be tough to have a list of the most beautiful beaches in the world without mentioning one that’s literally named after paradise. Found in Mykonos, in Greece, Paradise Beach has some of the softest, most beautiful sand in Aegean. On top of that, Mykonos is known to be a wild party spot too.
If you like getting social, there’s a monthly full-moon party to attend, and the Tropicana Beach bar nearby has been rated one of the top beach bars in the entire world!
6. Bahia Gardner – Galapagos
When it comes to sea and sand, it’s hard to find a location more magical than the Galapagos islands. These four-million-year-old volcanic islands are simply brimming with history and wildlife. If you feel like laying back on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, while watching sea-lions play and Espanola mockingbirds fly – this is the vacation spot for you.
Just make sure that you book well ahead of time if you want to avoid the crowds (and the expense).
7. Mosquito Bay – Puerto Rico
Alright – so a place called Mosquito bay might not sound like the most appealing location around – but bear with us. Mosquito Bay, in Vieques, Puerto Rico, is also known as Bioluminescent Bay, thanks to its rivers of glowing dinoflagellates.
If you visit just at the right time, and rent a clear canoe to see the magic up close, it’ll feel like you’ve stepped straight into a Disney movie. With stars above you, and the blue glow in the sea below, we’re sure you’ll create memories that last a lifetime.
8. Rabbit Beach – Italy
Strangely devoid of any rabbits, this stunning beach in Lampedusa Italy is the perfect excuse to put your waist money protection belt to good use. It’s a secluded nature reserve that can only be accessed by boat, and it’s consistently been rated one of the top four beaches in the world.
When you visit, you’re sure to enjoy the dolphins that play in the nearby water, and don’t forget to explore the nearby volcanic area of Linosa with your security money belt, which boasts it’s very own red and black beach.
9. Gordon Beach – Israel
Finally, if you’re young, hip, and looking for a good time, then this could be the ideal beach for you. Israelis love a game of paddle ball, so you should expect to see plenty of heated games while you’re enjoying your time on the sand.
Brimming with beautiful scenery, fresh blue water, and sunsets that are worth charging your camera for, this definitely deserves to be on any list of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
