Everybody loves the beach. But not everybody loves the same kind of beach. Luckily, there are a variety of beaches out there, each with its own unique characteristics, making it special and beautiful. Whether its smooth sand you’re after, bright blue oceans, or tropical foliage, there is a beach out there for you. Read on, and we will show you the most beautiful beaches in the world.

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.

It is well-known for being one of the most photographed beaches in the USVI.

It is also the most visited beach in St. John. Trunk Bay also features tall coconut trees, gorgeous white sand, aqua-blue water, and a great snorkeling environment.

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. 

Banana Beach, Phuket, Thailand

Despite being one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, Banana Beach in Phuket, Thailand is rarely crowded.

This helps only add to its charm as you will have much more space for yourself, and you can really appreciate all aspects of the beach.

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