Here are you list of World's Top 10 Beaches:
1. Seychelles
 |
Seychelles
|
One of the most
photographed beaches in the world, the pale pink sands of Anse Source d’Argent
unfurls across the island of La Digue, one of the 115 components of this
archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The sands sparkle against a backdrop of
towering granite boulders, worn by time and weather. The turquoise water is
relatively shallow and protected from the ocean’s waves by a reef.
2. Maldives

Whether your dream
beach trip consists of spending a few pampered nights in a four-star resort or
swimming among tropical fish some 80 feet (24 meters) underwater, the Maldives
are the sort of islands where either—or both—can come true. Straddling the
equator southwest of Sri Lanka, the 1,102 islands that make up the Maldives
form 26 atolls. The soft air enveloping the archipelago blends into a beautiful
palm-fringed haze.
3. Bora Bora, Tahiti
 |
| Bora Bora, Tahiti |
This is one of the
magical islands that make up French Polynesia in the South Pacific. Just 18
miles (29 kilometers) long, this lush little slip of land lies in a protected
lagoon edged by white sandy shores, the best being at Matira Point. Bora Bora
boasts the nickname the “Romantic Island,” a moniker easy to appreciate with
its isolated beaches, intimate hotels, and quiet atmosphere.
4. The Hamptons, New York
 |
| The Hamptons, New York |
One of the hip
spots for the air-kissing, well-heeled set, the Hamptons boast some of the
prettiest beaches on Long Island. The unspoiled shoreline begins around
Southampton and runs east to the end of the island at Montauk. Windswept dunes
and waving grasses border the Atlantic Ocean.
5. Lanikai Beach, Hawaii
 |
| Lanikai Beach, Hawaii |
Half a mile of
sparkling sand, palm trees swaying over a white beach, lush tropical plants,
and endless sunshine make Lanikai one of Hawaii’s most scenic beaches. The
shore is protected by a nearby coral reef, which keeps the surf relatively
calm. The water is always deep green and postcard-perfect.
6. Nantucket Island, Massachusetts
 |
| Nantucket Island, Massachusetts |
The most popular
beaches on this island in the North Atlantic are Surfside and Children’s. The
waters here are relatively calm, and there’s plenty of sand to use for
sunbathing or castle-building. Madaket Beach is known for its rougher surf and
not-to-be-missed sunsets. Quidnet Beach provides great views of Sankaty Head
lighthouse.
7. Fraser Island, Australia
 |
| Fraser Island, Australia |
Perched on the
sunny Queensland coast 161 miles (259 kilometers) northeast of Brisbane, Fraser
Island is the world’s largest sand island and home to a wonderful beach. This
World Heritage Site is an ecologist’s dream, with 640 square miles (1,664
square kilometers) of unspoiled natural paradise. Rain forests with
1,000-year-old trees sprout from the sand. Lodgings here accommodate a wide
range of tourists, from the backpacking ecology lover to pampered resort fans.
8. St. Bart's
 |
| St. Bart's |
One of many islands
in the Caribbean Sea, St. Bart’s stands out with its blend of French chic and
island relaxation. With beautiful secluded beaches, fine French cuisine, and
gracious hotels, this tropical playground is popular with the Jet Set. The
8-mile-long (13-kilometer-long) island is edged by 20 beaches and small coves
for swimmers and sunbathers, with sparkling water and white sand.
9. Langkawi, Malaysia
 |
| Langkawi, Malaysia |
The name “Langkawi”
translates into “the land of one’s wishes,” a welcoming concept that somewhat
belies the island’s historic origins as a reputed refuge for pirates. Langkawi
has since become a modern hideaway for the traveler seeking an escape. If your
vacation wishes extend from uncrowded white sands and clear waters to lush
green forests, you will find yourself content here. Datai Bay, located on Pulau
Langkawi, is a heavenly retreat on the Andaman Sea.
10. Kauna'oa Bay, Hawaii
 |
| Kauna'oa Bay, Hawaii |
Located on the
Kohala Coast of the Aloha State’s Big Island, Kauna’oa Bay is the
quintessential Hawaiian spot. The 0.25-mile-long (0.4-kilometer-long),
crescent-shaped beach has plenty of white sand, palm trees, and calm, clear,
blue water. In addition to swimming and sunbathing, beachgoers here can snorkel
or ride boogie boards. (Be careful swimming, however, because there are no
lifeguards on this public beach.) At night, nestle into the sands and peer out
into the water to see if you can catch a glimpse of manta rays swimming.
