The Most Beautiful Beaches In The World

For many of us the perfect vacation existing in our
fantasies is sitting on a white sandy beach while a warm,
turquoise ocean laps at our feet. We long to go somewhere
and unwind while tall palms sway above us. Let's explore
some of these prime locations throughout the world.

Hawaii boasts some of the most romantic sun- drenched
beaches year round in the United States. If you want to get
away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, then the
island of Kauai is the place for you. It has balmy
temperatures no matter when you head there. Kauai is the
least developed of any of the Hawaiian Islands and has very
lush, green surroundings. You can find sections of pristine
white sandy beaches that you can enjoy all to yourself.

Be sure to check out Poipu Beach while in Kauai, it's
perfect for the entire family and you can enjoy a variety of
water sports. Snorkeling is especially popular here since
the waters are crystal clear and there are many species of
beautifully colored tropical fish.

Don't miss a trip to the famous South Beach if you are
heading to Florida. It has a topless beach and is a
playground for adults. This is not the place for a family
vacation. The beach itself is actually man made and
stretches for miles with clean tropical water. The funky art
deco culture that surrounds the beautiful scenery is the
draw to South Beach. Many martini bars and live music venues
line the waterfront. Be sure to visit some of them for a
shot of Latin culture.

Further south is the Ipanema Beach in Brazil. Ipanema Beach
located in festive Rio de Janeiro, was made famous by a song
in the 60s bearing its name. Ipanema Beach is the place for
you if you want to be surrounded by scantily clad beautiful
people (both men and women). A visit to the surrounding area
and this beach is a wild ride worth taking. Miles of white
sand beaches equals many days worth of sun, fun, and
excellent people watching.

Back up north in Canada. Long Beach in Tofino British
Columbia proves many people wrong those who think that
Canada does not have beautiful beaches. Long beach is
simply breathtaking though the waters ar not turquoise. The
shore is perfect for surfing and taking long walks. There
are plenty of tidal pools full of interesting sea life such
as starfish. Tofino itself is full of eccentric locals and a
quaint little fishing town.

Finally, we come to the French Riviera of St. Tropez. This
is now one of the most popular and hot destinations in
Europe. Once it was the hideaway for movie stars. St. Tropez
is close to Cannes and filled with those who appreciate the
finer things in life and don't hesitate to flaunt it. The
bright blue waters make the beach stunning, if you're not in
the mood for the beach then there is still plenty to do.
While visiting this exciting local, people watching at one
of the beachfront cafes are a must.

People have always loved the scenic beauty of beaches and
there are no shortages of destinations. Just a few on the
worldwide list are Mexico, Caribbean, Costa Rica, Bali, and
Australia. You can be one of the many who visit exotic
beaches every year.
