For this article, we went with beaches in beautiful locations that are relatively accessible to travellers - from Croatia to Greece, Thailand, and so much more!
To mountain people, there's simply nothing in this world like a beautiful beach. Whether your beach style is rustic and remote or well-equipped and lively, our list offers a peek into some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Elafonisi Beach is one of those places that travellers tend to flock to when in Crete. It's a hit on Instagram and ranks on every travel site among the top 10 beaches in the world. Well, it is. It's a magical place.
Elafonissi Beach's immense popularity comes from its pretty pinkish sand, warm lagoon-like waters, and very wild feel.
To be more specific, Elafonissi Beach is an island that's separated from the mainland by the shallow water and sandbars that only disappear under about three feet of water at high tide.
Facilities are limited to palapa-covered sun loungers and a handful of tavernas for fresh seafood.
If Elafonissi is too packed, try Balos Lagoon in the north.

Just a 10-minute drive from downtown Cape Town in South Africa, Camps Bay Beach is simply stunning when it comes to scenery - the water here is of the turquoise and emerald streaked variety, backed by darker blues and dependent on the seasons, but it is deceptively cold.
During the summertime, the public beach draws hordes of swimsuit-clad sun worshippers, and many locals brave the waves long enough to at least cool off - the current here comes straight from Antarctica.
Camps Bay makes our list because the beach itself is beautiful, with scenery not like anywhere else on Earth - on one side, you see the sand and waves and on the other, the Twelve Apostles rock formations tower over the coastline.

Midway down Vietnam's coastline, Da Nang has some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Here, you will find 28 kilometres of white-sand beaches, blue ocean, and dark green jungle that combines into a visually stunning backdrop.

The most popular beach My Khe is the common name of the coastline lasted 10km from the base of the Son Tra Peninsula to the Marble Mountains - It is just 5km from Da Nang city centre and 25km from Hoi An.
My Khe Beach is famous for its blue sky, smooth white sand, gentle slope, clear, and warm water year-round and beautiful areas surrounded by coconut trees. Everything around you is peaceful, natural, and relaxing, that's why Forbes Magazine selected My Khe beach as "one of the most attractive beaches on the planet" title.
