Is any great holiday truly complete without at least a visit to the ocean, or better yet, a full holiday spent on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Whether you are in search of soft white sands, crystal clear blue waters or the waves of surfer’s dreams, there are a few beaches around the world that stand above the others.
Blue Lagoon
Blue lagoon is located in Ölüdeniz, Turkey. The name Ölüdeniz means Dead Sea, which is fitting as there are few beaches with an ocean this calm and tranquil. Even during storms, it’s unheard of to see any nature of waves or disruptions to the picturesque still waters. Fortunately, development in the direct area of blue lagoon has been kept to a minimum, creating not only a calm lagoon, but calm beaches where crowds of people are few and far between.
For above land, there is paragliding for the more adventurous, as the paragliding in Ölüdeniz is said to be the best in Europe. Scuba diving and snorkeling is likely to be the real treat here, as the calm and clear waters make for the perfect diving environment.
Experienced divers can explore the underwater caves and caverns, while beginners will enjoy seeing the magical sights on a beginner’s snorkeling tour. There are few beaches in the world that offer such a tranquil and relaxed experience for the perfect holiday getaway. Whether you want to go on an adventure under or above the waves or play at an online gambling casino while lazing on the shore, you can do whatever you choose.
Anse Source D’Argent
Located on La Digue Island, which is a sub island of the Seychelles, Anse Source D’Argent is truly one of the most beautiful beaches around. Anse Source D’Argent may be a stunning beach, but it is far from the only beach on this small island. Walking a full lap around the island will take about 4 hours, although nobody could walk that fast and not stop to admire the beauty of this island.
Anse Source D’Argent may be one of the best places on the planet to enjoy a wonderful sunset with picturesque views. Along with the perfect beaches and waters are rock formations which can only be described as other worldly and truly need to be seen to be believed.
Popoyo
Located in Nicaragua, Popoyo is a small beach town which plays home to some stunning visuals and the perfect holiday destination. Popoyo may not be the most beautiful beach in the world, but it is definitely one that all avid surfers know about and love. With decent offshore winds for more than 300 days out of the year, Popoyo is widely considered to be one of the best surfing destinations on the planet.
Along different sections of the beaches, different areas favour different skill brackets of surfers, although Popoyo seems to be perfectly tailored to the professionals who want to do nothing but surf the holiday away. The local town is very surf centralized, meaning surfing equipment and services are very easy to come by. For those less surfing inclined there is fantastic tidal pools, hot springs, horse riding and even spear fishing to try your hand at.
