Is it possible to list the top beaches on land? Of course not, since tourist preferences vary depending on facilities, convenience, swimming and aquatics opportunities, cleanliness, a sense of belonging relaxation, and beauty. Nevertheless, having visited several beaches throughout the world and having walked on them, I am presenting you with my selection of the top 10 beaches in the world.

Tulum stands out due to its closeness to some of the most beautiful Ancient ruins in the entirety of Mexico; this is where one of the best cultural attractions in the world meets one of the finest beaches in the world. The ruins of Tulum are an old massive city perched on a high cliff above a magnificent beach. The region is not particularly private due to the daily influx of tourists, but it more than makes up for it with a wide amount of white sand and captivating blue Caribbean waters.

Navagio Beach and the bright turquoise waters that surround it surely present a pretty image, framed by dazzling white rocky cliffs that tower over its sandy coastline. The stunning beach, which is one of the most attractive natural settings in all of Greece, lies just on the Ionian Island of Zakynthos and is frequently featured in travel publications.

Ironically, Navagio Beach is only reachable by boat despite being known as “Shipwreck Beach” due to the rusted wreckage of a ship that lays on its beaches. The beauty continues to improve as you get closer as you glide through the glistening waves toward the hidden cove.

There are 40 islands and coasts in the Turks and Caicos, with Providenciales serving as the main tourism hub. This area’s northern side is home to Grace Bay, a 19 km stretch of sugary sand and crystal-clear water that is surrounded by a coral reef system and features fantastic snorkeling and surfing. You might do better nowadays among the more exclusive resort beaches of Amanyara or Parrot Cay due to the regrettable growth of resorts and condominium hotels along the coast in recent years.

One might be rendered speechless by the amazing beauty in places other than tropical beaches. The clearest illustration is Long Beach, Canada’s Vancouver Island’s longest sandy beach and home to breathtaking natural scenery and an unrivaled maritime wildness. Between Tofino and Ucluelet, under the confines of the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, are 10 miles (16 km) of immaculate sand that are bordered by thick rainforests and lapped by a chilly, pounding surf. Each spring and summer, 20,000 grey whales migrate up this coast.

In the center of the Great Barrier Reef, Whitehaven Beach is shielded by the Whitsunday Islands National Park. The most well-known beach in Australia is 4,4 miles (7 km) long and is bathed in waves of turquoise, blue, and green sea. The sand has a beautiful, almost glowing appearance since it is made up of 98% pure white silica. Whitehaven Beach can be reached by aircraft, chopper, or by sailing there on one of the many boat trips available nearby.

Due in large part to the stunning beaches that are right beyond its door, Cape Town is at the top of my list of the most beautiful cities in the world. The most popular beach in Cape Town, Camps Bay is additionally the only urban beachfront that made it onto my list of the top 10. Due to flows in the Atlantic Ocean, Camps Bay’s water is a bit chilly, but that won’t take the focus away from the amazing landscape scenery and world-famous sunsets. The beach here has blinding white sand and is set against the magnificent scenery of Twelve Apostles Mountain and Table Mountain.

The distant island of Fernando de Noronha, a group of 21 volcanically active islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is home to Baio Do Sancho. It is situated around 220 miles (350 km) from the shore of northeast Brazil bay. The 250 ft (75 m) rocks surrounding the sparkling emerald lake and silky white sands are covered with flora. Only a boat or several dozen uneven, slick-sanded stairs on a dirt path through some kind of crack in a large rock can be used to access the beach. The beach is a great place to go snorkeling for seeing the rays.

The most incredibly beautiful beach in the Hawaiian archipelago is without a doubt Polihale. This 11 km (7 km) coastline on the western coast of Kauai, among the most beautiful islands in the world, appears to be uninhabited and is far from any towns. It has an air of enchantment and magic that is still present in Hawaii today. A four-wheel driving vehicle is advised because there is only one badly defined mud sugarcane road that leads to the beach.

On Thailand’s Koh Phi Phi, a secluded bay called Maya Bay is breathtakingly gorgeous. It is simple to understand why filmmaker Danny Boyle selected this beach for the Leonardo DiCaprio starrer The Beach because of the surrounding mangroves, high limestone walls, and lush vegetation. The main beach in the bay is about 200 meters (650 feet) long and has silky soft white sand. The water is incredibly clean and has colorful coral and unusual species beneath it.

Anse Source d’Argent, one of the most famous beaches in the world, stretches over La Digue, the largest of the 115 islands that make up this beautiful cluster in the Indian Ocean. The beach shines against a background of huge granite rocks that have weathered and eroded over time. The turquoise water is perfect for swimming because an offshore reef shields it from ocean waves.
