Countries With the Best Beaches
Australia, officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia, is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. Australia has a very warm climate and is very dry. The country's official language is English. I'm a Kiwi and have to say Ozzy beaches are the best and I don't enjoy saying it. I've traveled around the world and keep going back. You may find a lovely beach here and there in other countries but not all.
You can swim all year, burn your feet on the sand but it's worth the trip.
The down side is you can't always swim when needed as there's stingers up north that can kill you. Fishing, surfing, diving is unreal. Topless beaches the lot.
Best Beaches easy. Nothing compares.
It's every beach also.
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.
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 it's 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 ...more
Absolutely beautiful beaches all around Australia, with golden sand, not pebbles and the surf is fantastic. Plus Australia's splendid climate means people can surf/swim all year 'round.
France, officially the French Republic, is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European part of France, called metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to ...read more. 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.
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.
A lot of coast line, seas and oceans, isles in every ocean. All kind of beaches in only one country with some historical value like in Normandy.
So France is the best country for beaches.
We spent 3 months in New Caledonia (French territory), it's absolutely wonderful, beaches, landscape and people are just sumptuous.
Greece, officially the Hellenic Republic, also known since ancient times as Hellas is a country located in southeastern Europe. No beaches in the world go close to Greece.
Places like the Maldives, Fiji and Hawaii rely on picture perfect days to get the right sunshine and low winds to take pictures for tourist mags, in Greece they are perfect crystal clear all the time.
Islands like Milos, Lefkada, Zakinthis, Koufonissi, Naousa, Paxi etc etc have better beaches than anywhere on earth and for those that believe Australia is better, remember this, dive off any boat offshore and you will either be eaten by a shark or attacked by a variety of other sea creatures like deadly jellyfish.
It's not only the incomparable beauty of the Greek beaches but it is also their accessibility. Greek beaches are not a beautiful carte postale! You can walk on them, lie on them, swim in them, no undercurrents, no sharks (! ), that is you can enjoy them with all your senses! They are real beaches, not just shores or simply coasts! All that on top of an amazingly balanced climate tolerable by everyone in its most extreme phases!
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 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.
Yes, for sure, hundreds of lagoons with coral reefs in this such unbelievable and wonderful Pacific Ocean.
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, and previously known as the Malagasy Republic, is an island country in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Southeast Africa. 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

The Philippines was established in March 16, 1521 and named in honor of a Spanish King whose name is King Philip of Spain II. It is located at Asia, specifically at Southeast Asia. The capital is Manila. 89% of the people there currently are native, while 11% of people there are foreigners. No country has better beaches then the Philippines there are so many beautiful sunsets and beaches everywhere! And there allot of cheap prices and friendly people here!
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
I had a laugh at the idiot below critisizing why Australia is number 1 and how he believes the Philippines reefs make other countries look like fish crap. Haha, what a uneducated tool, ever heard of the Great Barrier Reef, or perhaps the fact Australia has enough beaches that you couldn't visit them all in a lifetime. I went to Australia for a holiday once spent 7 months travelling the coastline, fact is no other country comes close to their beaches

Mexico, officially the United Mexican States, is a federal republic located in North America.

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.
Beyond Cancun, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta and all the other famous resort towns, Mexico's got beaches that defy the imagination. They could be in a desert, a tropical rainforest, marshes, cliffs, next to lagoons or even "underground" (Marieta). If you like warm water temperature too, then you're gonna really like Mexico.
Mexico's beaches are all completely unique and beautiful.They are the perfect places to relax or to have fun! Either if you go to a touristic beach or to a little beach, they are absolutely amazing.
Some Mexican beaches can combine beauty and magic Mysticism ancient cultures, and warm water to achieve a perfect relax...

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? 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 top 10? Are you kidding me?

Italy, in italian Repubblica Italiana, is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe. ...read more. If you want crystal blue beaches you have to go Sardinia, its like the Caribbean in Europe.
