It’s true. You caught me. I am in madly, deeply, head over heels in love… (with the beach)- shh, don’t tell my husband! I just love the sand beneath my toes, exploring sea animals above and below water, and hunting for shells. Oh, and a suntan doesn’t hurt either. While I have been lucky enough to experience numerous Caribbean beaches, (which were all gorgeous), and quite a few in the Mediterranean, I was curious as to what others’ favorite beaches were. I asked some of my travel blogging friends, and the response I received was overwhelming. I guess others have the same feelings towards the beach that I do. I received submissions from all over the world, from Thailand to Barbados, and the Galapagos to Spain.
It’s remarkable how different beaches can be. Take a look for yourself.
1. Cockleshell Beach, St. Kitts

2. Playa Conchal, Costa Rica

3. Beach at the Dead Sea, Israel
4. Hupuna Beach, Big Island, Hawaii

5. Perivulous (Black Sand Beach), Santorini, Greece
Although the sand is a bit rocky and extremely hot (wear sandals at all times), it is one of the most remarkable beaches I have ever laid eyes on.
6. Horseshoe Bay Beach, Bermuda
That’s me in the pink shirt in the bottom right hand corner! The large boulders make for a dramatic landscape, which is quite possibly why it has been rated the #8 beach in the world by TripAdvisor. It is the most famous beach in Bermuda, and therefore, a very popular tourist spot.
