10 breathtaking beaches that must be seen in person

What comes to mind when you hear the word "beach"? Surely you thought of sand, water, sunshine, tanning, and all kinds of water activities. We all know that the beach is a great way to spend time, have fun, but there is nothing strange or unusual about this concept for us. The following 10 places will make you look at beaches in a completely different way, as they are true works of art created by nature. Each of them has its own amazing feature, distinctive and unique details, but there is one thing that unites them all: absolute otherworldly beauty.

Honopu Beach - Kauai, Hawaii

Getting to this beach, separated by a natural rock arch, is quite challenging, making it one of the most secluded and untouched beaches in the world.

Anse Source d'Argent Beach - La Digue, Seychelles

This beach rightly deserves its title as one of the most picturesque on earth: perfect white sand, huge rocks, green palms, and sky-blue water. When you look at all this splendor, it sometimes seems like a picture made in Photoshop.

The Giant's Causeway - Ireland

Complex geological processes led to the formation of 40,000 basalt columns, which make up this unique beach, resembling a place from ancient English fairy tales.

Benagil Sea Cave Beach - Algarve, Portugal

An unrealistically romantic beach hidden in a huge cave.

Star Beach (Hoshizuna-no-hama) - Iriomote, Japan

The sand of this beach consists of the skeletons of foraminifera - microscopic marine organisms that have been washed ashore for many years. You can gaze at their whimsical intricate shapes for hours.

Catedral Beach - Ribadeo, Spain

This beach gets its name due to the huge number of grottos, caves, and cliffs located here. The thing is, all these natural formations closely resemble the shape of Catholic cathedrals.

Whitehaven Beach (White Paradise) - Whitsunday Island, Australia

This amazing beach, known worldwide, is part of a national park and is under the protection of the state. There is no infrastructure on the beach, but there is plenty of exquisite white sand, azure water, and impossibly beautiful nature. Tourists are brought here for a day.

Reynisfjara Beach - Vik, Iceland

This place has nothing to do with the familiar images of sweltering beaches: unique black sand, majestic basalt columns, and a restless gray-blue, cold sea. The beauty is, to put it mildly, of the gothic kind, but that doesn't make this beach any less impressive.

Hidden Beach - Marieta Island, Mexico

This beach is unique as it is located right inside the cliffs of one of the islands of the Mexican archipelago. The island is a national park, and the beach, which resembles a pool more than anything else, can only be reached by swimming through a small tunnel.

Bioluminescent Beach - Vaadhoo, Maldives

When the sun sets on the horizon, this already beautiful beach transforms into... a starry sky! All thanks to the abundance of special single-celled organisms in the coastal waters. Such beauty simply takes your breath away.
