Beautiful Beaches from Around the World You Must Visit Before You Die

Trunk Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands

Trunk Bay resides at the northwest corner of the Virgin Islands National Park.

Sanibel Island, Florida, United States

While most islands have a north-to-south orientation, Sanibel Island is one of the few with an east-to-west orientation.

This has helped the sands of Sanibel Island become one of the best shelling beaches in the world (Sanibel-Captiva).

Visitors travel from all over the globe for the unique and diverse shells found on Sanibel Island’s shores.

Matira Beach, Bora Bora, French Polynesia

This mile-long stretch of beach is lined with palm trees and sloping green hills.

The white sand gently transitions to a bottomed lagoon where the water is both shallow and warm. 

Thanks to the fact that this beach faces west, it has some of the most beautiful sunsets on planet Earth.

This is also one of Bora Bora’s only public beaches, so you don’t have to pay to enter it!

Honokalani Beach, Hawaii, United States

White sand beaches, not your thing?

Not a problem!

Honokalani Beach features pitch-black sand, dense tropical trees and flowers, and bright blue waves.

But this black sand isn’t your typical sand. It’s made of lava fragments and volcanic minerals (Sand Atlas).

There is also a lot to do at this beach.

This is Hawaii’s best beach, from exploring the sea caves that line the shore to checking out the seaside lava tubes.

You may even want to try snorkeling in Haleakala National Park on the Big Island–though it’s the snorkeling you come for here.

Between November and May, the water is crystal clear, making it ideal for swimming and snorkeling.
