What Are The Best Beaches in the World Today?
1.Grace Bay Beach – Grace Bay, Turks, and Caicos
Grace Bay Beach |
Tripadvisor said in a news release that Grace Bay beach had more than 7,200 reviews to date, and that 90% of them rate it at five "bubbles," its highest ranking.
The beach is on the northeast coast of the island of Providenciales. You may think of this as part of the Caribbean -- and it's indeed nearby -- but the entire Turks and Caicos chain is technically all in the Atlantic Ocean. It's a British territory.
A barrier reef offshore helps keep Grace Bay Beach clear of seaweed and other objects, the official Turks and Caicos tourism website says. Boating and other water sports are popular in the calm, shallow waters between the beach and the reef.
2.Varadero Beach – Varadero, Cuba
