Lying on a long, white beach with palm trees, bathing in the turquoise sea with crystal-clear water, or chilling in a small bay with breathtaking rocks – that doesn’t have to remain a dream. Anyone who wants to escape everyday life on a dream beach will have the opportunity to do so again in many places.

Here is the list of most beautiful beaches in the world

1. Grace Bay Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands

This year, the Turks and Caicos Islands are the world’s most beautiful beaches. There is Grace Bay Beach, which won over Tripadvisor users with its soft, white sand, blue water, and gentle waves. In addition, there are 350 sunny days a year in the British overseas territory south-east of the Bahamas in the Atlantic to relax on this dream beach.

2. Varadero Beach in Cuba

In Cuba, you will find number two of the most beautiful beaches. With its powdery sandy beach, the clear water, and its seemingly endless expanse, Varadero Beach makes it to the top among Tripadvisor users. You can also enjoy a cocktail or two in the adjacent bars.

3. Turquoise Bay in Australia

Turquoise Bay is located near the Australian city of Exmouth. It scores with white sand, clear water and is perfect for snorkeling. Both beginners and advanced snorkelers have fun. There you can discover the Ningaloo Reef.

4. Quarta Praia in Brazil

Holidaymakers will find Quarta Praia in the town of Morro de São Paulo on the Brazilian island of Ilha de Tinharé. Unlike many beaches in Brazil, things are quieter there – away from the crowds, you can relax on the beach. The natural pools with bathtub temperature invite you to relax. This puts Quarta Praia in fourth place in this ranking.

5. Eagle Beach in Aruba

Beautiful beach with incredible sand and mild to calm waters. You can actually walk down south along the beach and merge with other beaches. There are plenty of bars and restaurants along the shoreline. The pathway has playgrounds and outdoor gyms, as well as a pathway for bikes and walking. Would definitely recommend hanging out at this beach!

Eagle Beach is a beach and a district at the same time. The neighborhood on the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba is famous for its resorts and wide public beach with soft, white sand. The Fofoti trees, which point towards the sea with their distinctive silhouette, are another eye-catcher.

6. Radhanagar Beach in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Pristine white sandy beaches, clear, turquoise water, and mangrove forests in the background – this is what the picturesque Radhanagar Beach looks like. The beach is located on Havelock Island, which is part of the Indian archipelago of Andaman and Nicobar. As a real insider tip, only a few people cavort on the fine sandy beach, which is shaded by the surrounding trees. Don’t miss to check out these best islands in Andaman.

7. Baia do Sancho in Brazil

The Baia do Sancho is a real eye-catcher! Because the crystal clear water and the fine sandy beach are framed by volcanic rock formations. You can find the beach on the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha. However, there is a catch: In order to protect nature, the maximum number of visitors allowed on the island is regulated. So you have to be fast enough and have some luck to actually travel there.

8. Trunk Bay Beach in the US Virgin Islands

If you want to snorkel with turtles, lobsters, and squid, you have the opportunity to do so in the unspoiled nature of Virgin Island National Park. Particularly exciting: There is an underwater snorkeling trail with underwater information about coral formations and sea life. It also has all the typical features of a dream beach: you will find white sand, tall coconut trees, and light blue water on site.

9. Baia dos Golfinhos in Brazil

A second beach on the Brazilian island of Fernando de Noronha comes in ninth place just a few places behind Baia do Sancho: Baia dos Golfinhos. The special thing there: Travelers can see lots of dolphins. Because Fernando de Noronha is the mating and resting place of the East Pacific dolphins. Because of the unique collection of mammals in the world, the island bears the title Unesco World Natural Heritage.

10. Spiaggia dei Conigli beach in Lampedusa

Vacationers find the tenth most beautiful beaches in the world on the Italian island of Lampedusa. The Spiaggia Dei Conigli (German: rabbit beach) is actually an idyllic bathing bay, but since it is now well known, it can get crowded there.

This doesn’t seem to bother Tripadvisor users – after all, the beach is in the top 10 in this ranking. Among other things, the reviews say: “A truly magical place on earth. White sandy beach, turquoise water, and a pleasant sea breeze. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the beach, but as soon as you put your feet on the sand it feels like heaven.”
