Countries With the Best Beaches

Many different types of beautiful beaches can be found in Australia. Australia is a huge country with so much coastline. This means there are so many isolated, naturally beautiful and pristine beaches. There are also popular beaches closer to the cities like Bondi beach where you will often spot celebrities. Perhaps, the best aspect of Australian beaches is the sand. Its clean, soft, perfect for making sand sculptures, going barefoot on and lying down on. Or maybe its the waves that is most appealing. They make the beach fun, great for surfing and catching waves. There is a reason why the stereotypical Australian is a surfer. There are also tropical beaches in the north with white sand and beautiful coral. Think of the great barrier reef Fraser Island. There are many vast beaches in Australia with rolling sand dunes and a large majority of australians live very close to them. When my relatives came to Australia from mediterranean Europe they could not believe the difference. When they ...more

Australia is pretty but there's a lot of great white shark attacks there so Greece should be first

Australia is the best

Hands down Australia has the best beaches in the world. The fact that there are so many, most of which are untouched is a testament to how good our beaches are. Australia has such a small population that its not uncommon to have a world class beach all to yourself. Sydney alone has hundreds of beaches, most of which are better than some of the worlds so called "best". That's not to say that all of our beaches are better than every other countries but all up Australia wins by a mile. For example countries like Thailand and India are beautiful and have wonderful beaches but from my experience I found that the beaches were overcrowded and the water was actually quite disgusting at times. I lived in Hawaii for awhile and I can honestly say that, although amazing, the beaches were second to those in Australia.

Greece has 6,000 islands and islets.. The waters in Greece are crystal clear, the colors can range from wine dark, to turquoise to emerald blue.. There are white, golden, red and black sand beaches.. Some are very shallow you can walk half a mile and still touch the ground.

Something from an other planet. An amazing range of different kind of beaches. Thousands of islands, some are rocky, some full of green, isolated beaches... Surely something for everyone. The Greek coast line is the longest in the European union.

Simply amazing! Simply the best you can ever meet. Not just the quality of the water, super clean, but also the landscape, the organisation of the beach, usually with amazing beach bars and restaurants.
You can find a beach for any taste! Really NO comparison with anything else in the world

Greece has the best beaches ever! And you should see the colour of the sea... so blue and clean and SPARKLY!

Philippines is the most beautiful country in the world, because its natural beauty is perfect. Visit Her and you will discover its mountainous land gifted with variety of animals and trees ; plus spring of water, like bay, beaches, coral reef shoal inhabited by thousand of marine life species. Philippines is a paradise because its land structure that surrounded by water is unequaled. The only problem is system of the government because the traditional corruption is out of control. These things cover the the natural beauty of the Philippines from the eyes of the world.

Philippines is definitely a heart-warming paradise. Palawan for me overall is the best island among the 7,107 islands of the Philippines. There lies one of the 7 Wonders of Nature, which is the Puerto Princesa Underground River. I have been there and the cave is awesome and exotic. With unique carvings of rocks inside it. Anyone who keeps in touch with nature will no doubt visit it again. The Philippines is a Southeast Asian country that lies near the equator. Hence, the temperature and the characteristics of the beaches around the Philippines are proportion to it. Boracay, Coron Island and Batanes (Northernmost Province of the Philippines south of Taiwan) are the sure win! Compare the Philippines to its different Asian neighbours. China, Taiwan, Laos, Brunei, Vietnam, Singapore, what are they? Grasslands and Industrial Plants. And among the few countries in Asia that offer this kind of beauty, the Philippines has it all! It could even sum up against Indonesia and Hainan (China). We ...more

Australia? US? Germany? Why are those countries even up there?! The Philippines has 7,000+ islands with beautiful, genuine white sand, crystal clear waters, and coral reefs that would make the other coral reefs look like fish crap. This country has to be at least in the top 5.

TRY TO VISIT THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY, THE Philippines!
THE Philippines HAS THE BEST BEACHES! TRY BORACAY!
THE BEST BEACHES IN THE WORLD! I AM FROM THE Philippines AND YOUR EYES WILL TESTIFY THE TRUTH AND YOUR EXPERIENCE WILL MAKE A TESTIMONY THAT THE Philippines IS THE BEST COUNTRY!

Hawaii, California, Florida, Alabama, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands all have amazing and beautiful beaches, and there is a lot of diversity among the beaches. Isolated wilderness beaches, exciting beaches with piers and boardwalks, white-sand beaches, black-sand beaches, beaches with cliffs, beaches with dunes and more. Almost all beaches are public throughout the country, and there is great weather year-round in the tropical parts of the country. In the summer even the colder parts have incredible and scenic sandy beaches. The variety and quantity of beaches is unbeatable.

Hawaii, California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and other places make the us the best beach destination.

USA has absolutely beautiful beaches! The surf at all of Americas beaches are phenomenal and smooth. Hawaii has defiantly the best beaches out of all the United States, meaning the best of the world.

Some people are saying because the Usa has Hawaii that the Usa has the best beaches. Honolulu imports sand from Australia. - Bryanh

Lots of beaches along the Mediterranean sea, Atlantic Ocean.
But also Pacific Ocean, with the largest and most wonderful lagoon in the world: Bora-Bora. And so many other coral islands. And the famous New-Caledonia with the 3rd largest coral reef in the world.
And French Caribbean islands with many nice beaches.
Even in Indian Ocean with Mayotte and wonderful coral reefs, the Réunion etc..

No other European country can offer such beaches and surely few in the whole world.

We spent 3 months in New Caledonia (French territory), it's absolutely wonderful, beaches, landscape and people are just sumptuous.

St. Tropez for example

I know that France has bora bora and new calidonia as well as some Caribbean islands, but just the continental part of France is amazing. Sure you could visit Paris, but you must visit the Mediterranean part of France. Nice, Cannes, French Riviera, so many nice beaches. On a side note, the beaches are crowded.

Are you guys kidding me? Mexico's got the beaches all around the world, Go to Cancun, Los Cabos or Puerto Vallarta you will see really what a really good beach is. - yeraldoarriolaplascencia

Some Mexican beaches can combine beauty and magic Mysticism ancient cultures, and warm water to achieve a perfect relax...

The beaches in Mexico are fantastic. Best in the world: beautiful sand, crystal clear water, gorgeous sea life; great for relaxing, swimming, water sports, eating and excellent atmosphere. I highly recommend Mexico.

Party, beauty and good food, are some of the things you can find in Mexico. All the other beaches are just contenders.

If the beaches weren't nice this country would not exist

I have never seen waters so clear, blue, turquoise and beautiful anywhere else!

Best beaches in east region of the world

I love bananas

No Ocean in Italy and difficult to find a non private beach, the rest are really dirty sand, rocks and water as well.

Compared to some Ocean areas; it's zero.

You don't go in Italy for beaches but for ruins.

If you want crystal blue beaches you have to go Sardinia, its like the Caribbean in Europe. I don't understand how people like beaches with buildings right beside it... Like they do in Spain. You can't relax there with all the traffic noise and people. Beaches are supposed to be away from urban areas. The harder it is to get to the beach the better...

Just here at Hawaii we have more beautiful beaches than Italy and Spain together and that in a real Ocean: Pacific one, not this ridiculous Mediterranean sea.

Italy is surrounded by warm mediterranean water, I just love the beaches, they are so perfect. I can't believe it's number 4...

Best beaches.

Australia? Sure of you want to get eaten by sharks. Brazil is so much better times better.

Brazil! Sparkly and beautiful, along with the rest of South America!

Australia? Are you kidding me? This must be a joke, right? Brazil should be number 1 hands down... Brazil all the way!

Cold water and brown water evrywhere; only in Italy there are the best beaches of the world, for that reason all Spanish, German, Belgium, frecnh, america, Australian, Russian, Asia, arab... Are coming in Italy.

Seriously France and... Germany? Above Spain? Whoever wrote this has never been to Spain, or Germany... Spain is the country with more number of blue flag beaches in the world. It should definitely be on the top 3. By the way, is there any 'real beach' in Germany?

Just here at Hawaii we have more beautiful beaches than Spainand that in a real Ocean: Pacific one, not this ridiculous Mediterranean sea.

Country with more blue flags in the world. Enough said.

Lol how is this even on the list it rains like all year round and the only beaches I know are Brighton and Southend

I was born in England and the only good beach I've been to is brighton

Redcar Beach is so good

Cornwall is absolutely stunning all you british lot fly of to foreign destinations when beautiful cornwall is just on your doorstep!

Maldives has the best beaches in the whole world. With crystal clear waters and pearly white sand. I don't understand why Maldives has such a low ranking in this, it ought to be at the top!

Well not a question about being large since this is a small country but the beaches are marvelous.

Beautiful island with beautiful beaches!

Maldivian beaches have the best coloured sand!

Best water temperature to swim in.

Very beautiful

Germany? For sure, a beautiful beach does not mean necessarily sun and crystal water. Beach means beauty of the beach itself: Landscape, size, sand, rocks, atmosphere, environment, changing sky, climate magnifying sites etc...
For those reasons Germany deserves to be in the top 10, nevertheless the negative comments from always the same kind of people.

Germany's North Sea islands are blessed with gloriously long beaches and unique natural surroundings. Located in the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea, the islands have a bracing climate that makes them perfect for recreational and active breaks. Fantastic accommodation, top-class cuisine and major sporting events are the icing on the cake.

And also some other ones places in North Sea as well as Baltic Sea.

Germany top 10? Are you kidding me?

The beaches are cold

Dominican Republic should be number 1, the one that wrote this has never come to the Dominican Republic.

I go to the beach here and the water is so clear that I can see these transparent fish and everything is so clean! Definitely should too this chart!

Stunning beaches with kind people and are all around the country

Al least 5 of the best beaches are from Dominican Republic

You guys don't know Indonesia man! How can USA beat Indonesia. Search Google: Indonesia beaches.

Indonesia has a very beautiful beach (it must be in the top tens) - ComelCumil

Indonesia is the biggest archipelago country in the world with more than 17500 islands! A lot of beautiful places! It should be top 5 or even number 1

The right answer is, Indonesia

Croatian coast is the second most cleanest coastline in the Mediterranean and it has a lot of amazing beaches so it really really deserves to be on this list.

It has almost transparent water, it should be first

Quite nice beaches there and clean sea, specially on some remote islands

Croatia should be first

Good

India is a big country. It is surrounded three sides by water. So there are many beaches in india. In has the world second largest beach the marina beach in tamil nadu state capital. Other than marina there are more than 20 beaches in the tamil nadu. Kerala has more than 25 beaches. Karnataka has more than 40 beaches. Andhra pradesh has more than 35 beaches. Goa has more than 15 beaches. Maharasthra has more than 45 beaches. Orissa has more than 25 beaches and gujarat has more than 35 beaches. There are approximately more than 100 beaches in india. All the beaches are nicely maintained by its respective state government and also by the indian government. All the beaches are also popular tourist destination also. So india only has the world nice beaches. Jai hind.

India, Surely one of the best beaches in the world. Why is it not in the top 10.

Because many people love hot days so its the ideal holiday.

Best unspoiled beaches.

Madagascar movie is a movie and the Country of Madagascar has nothing to do with this movie.

The movie is about the Central Park Zoo in New York and its animals, animals which are not living at all in this wonderful Madagascar Island.

Anyway, you know that, and I know some of beaches there really fantastic, this year 2015, I've just been in Italy, it's so dirty, ridiculous compared with so nice Madagascar.

Here you will find 20 times more beautiful beaches than a overrated country like Italy.

Madagascar movie is so cool and pretty so I am guessing acuatual Madagascar is so much prettyer

Turkey is right next to Greece... So I am pretty sure the color of the sea is so blue and clean and sparkly also...

Turkey is surrounded with Aegean, Mediterranean and Black sea from three sides

Yes, for sure, hundreds of lagoons with coral reefs in this such unbelievable and wonderful Pacific Ocean.

Absolutely gorgeous! Highly underrated. Get this into the top tens!

Portugal should be higher on this list. Algarve have some of the most beautiful beaches in Europe.

Better than Brazil! The dolphins there are cute and beautiful!

White thin sand, blue water, the most beatiful beaches in the world, I don't have family in portugal and I went there 6 time and I plane in going again, best trips of my life

Cuba have the best beaches but American can't go to see these beautiful beaches!

Cuba is the bae! Best beaches ever.

Germany? On the top of this list? It is the most weird thing ever! Just look on Seychelles' website. You will see granite rocks, white, pink and golden sands and turquoise waters. THERE IS NOT SUCH THING LIKE Seychelles IN THE WORLD!

Seychelles is the breath taking country in the world the beaches are mind blowing and magical no other country compares PARADISE.

Just look on Seychelles'

Seychelles has the world most beautiful beaches can't compare see for youself

Beautiful! Should be higher up the list

Mauritius has the most beautiful beaches in the world

Flic en flac in mauritius it one of the nicest beach you'll ever find

I went to maurituse its was nice beach

The climate is great. If you are a beach person Srilanka would be the best place, they have the best beaches in the world for surfers with golden sand beaches and coral reefs (when I went there a giant tortoise came to beach and we even got to pet it) the beaches in the east of the country are wave less!, whale and dolphin watching are also popular in some seasons

Has gold sand on east coast and silver on west coast. Plus many beaches are still untouched

I'm from New Zealand even though I haven't been there for a while it's still got some very nice beaches

Nice beaches as a whole depending on the places you go but there is a lot more than just beaches!

Beaches in New Zealand are nice and save I like them

We need more votes! Please! I know Canada may seem like a winter land but we got beaches! The madgellen islands of Quebec are the best. These islands are remote and not crowded. Please vote. I will go as far as saying Canada has better beaches than the Caribbean. Prince Edward Island, because, Nova Scotia, madgellen islands, New Brunswick and even The Great Lakes in Ontario need all more recognition for their beaches.

Canada has beautiful beaches with sometimes even pink and purple sand! (This can be found in port Stanley by Lake Erie). Beautiful shells and stones can be found along the shores. The beaches are amazing!

In Canada, you will found over 1000 beaches which would definitely count any one's taste. Tobermory is on my top list.

What the hell, jeez we are underrated... we have the world’s longest coastline. In Prince Edward Island the beaches can be white, gold and velvet red! Our water can be warm, like in Vancouver island where the water never freezes. If the ocean is not your thing head to a lake, we have thousands of them. In the okanagan, head to skaha beach where the water is warm and it is hot (like 38 degrees Celsius). Or head to Lake Erie were the sand can be colorful and pure white! We are so damn underrated.

Egypt has beautiful beaches especially in Sidi abd el rahman

I am from Egypt and I personally know that Egypt has really/almost the best beaches you could ever experience looking at.No offense but I think that Egypt beaches should be on the top 10 list,because it is really charming and it is not rocking but sandy.


People likely would say Australia is way better and yes the are better in a little bit of things.There views might be
Better maybe (I have never been there before but I have seen a lot of beaches in Australia that are beautiful.)In Sydney and Melbourne.But to be honest there isn’t much comparsion between them.


I might be the only writing this so I just wanted to recommend or give the message to everyone that
Egypt has wonderful beaches to visit and experience.To be also honest agian,I think Egypt votes should not be 0.1%.I am the only one voted by the way...If your asking where am I from in Egypt? I am Alexandra,Egypt..
Egypt has a lot of beaches especially/including in Sidi
abd el rahman and Sheri ...more

Finland has beautiful beaches. At sunset, the view is very nice.

The water Is amazingly

Albania's beaches are awesome! The ones in Durrës and Sarandë are unbelievable. The waters are crystal blue and the sand is so soft. You can climb on rocks and go through caves. I miss those good times

Should Rank Higher
I mean, the beaches in Sarandë and Durrës are beautiful
The water is hot and warm

The beach in Dubai is very warm you can swim in it in summer or winter, it is always really hot.

Very warm beach and it is like 33 degrees the water

The beach here feels pretty good its tropically pretty warm,salty looks pretty pure with sand and relaxed plus with the very hot wun with humidity which is pretty good and beneficial for the body.

You kidding? Romania OVER Bulgaria...

South Africa should be one of the top ten they have heaps of clear, clean nice beaches

I have been to many beeches South Africa's are my favourite.

Should be in top 5 rankings. You haven't seen Gawader Beaches yet. Just Google them and see what I mean.

Bangladesh has the biggest sea beach of the world which is more than 155 kilometers. Moreover the beaches are a great tourist attraction. There is a large number of good 5 star hotels which provide better hospitality management. One can enjoy a full view of sunset.

Bangladesh in 32... How funny
