So, what is the best beach in the world - Blackpool beach or Bondi? It all depends on what you want from your top beach. Here are a few top beach selections - let me know if you agree?
Anjuna Beach, Goa, India: One of the original ‘hippie hangouts’ from the sixties, Anjuna Beach is all about sun, sea and spirituality. Some of those who made the trip in the sixties still remain, giving Anjuna a lively alternative feel. Every Wednesday the market place behind the beach comes alive too, where the unique and beguiling Goan way of life is very much on display. The beach itself is long and white, perfect for those long lazy days, while at night the beach is famed for its pulsating nightlife, including regular techno-fuelled Full Moon parties.
Barbate, Costa de la Luz, Spain: The Costa de la Luz in South Western Andalusia is one of the last stretches of Spanish coastline not to suffer from overdevelopment. Lapped by the Atlantic Ocean, this area of Spain has some superb out-of-the-way beaches and picturesque fishing villages. Among the best beaches is Barbate, which is located in a unique beauty spot overlooking Brena Nature Park. Flanked by sand dunes and enticing pine groves it as far away from the crowded beaches of the Costa Del Sol as you can get.
White Haven Beach, Whitsunday Islands, Australia: In a country blessed with more brilliant beaches than you can swing a kangaroo at, White Haven Beach, on the Whitsunday Islands, is really something special. Stretching for more than six kilometres and lapped by the most beautiful, turquoise blue sea, White Haven Beach is untainted white, consisting of 98% pure silica, the main ingredient in glass! The sand is so pure it has a striking all-white, dazzling, effect. Made up of seventy-four separate islands and set in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsunday Islands are a group of pristine islands, untouched by tourism, and offer a picture postcard paradise.
Thong Nai Pan Yai, Thailand: This palm-tree lined beach on the Thai island of Koh Phangan is located at the end of a rough dirt road through the jungle. Dotted with bungalow lodges, costing next-to-nothing to rent this is a superb spot to recharge the batteries. The beach itself is long and wide, lapped by a beautiful clear blue sea, with the occasional sight of a fishing boat or pleasure cruise to draw your attention. The beach is popular with backpackers and there are a number of bars to be found at the back of the beach. However, if this isn’t quite your scene, don’t worry; Thong Nai Pan Yai is accommodating enough to leave you feeling completely blissed out. And, if the mood takes you, there are regular boats available from the beach to one of Thailand’s legendary Full Moon Parties.
Clifton Beach, Cape Town, South Africa: This is the beach where the citizens of Cape Town flock to in the summer in order to see and be seen. Packed out with tourists and locals alike this is one of the best beaches in South Africa in terms of activities, with the bronzed and beautiful all around playing volleyball, Frisbee and football on the beach, while watersports and yachts rip it up on the sea; very much the South African version of Marbella.
