10 amazing beaches to see for yourself

What do you associate with the word "beach"? Surely you thought about sand, water, the sun, tanning and all kinds of water activities. We all know that the beach is a great pastime, fun, but there is nothing outlandish or unusual in this concept for us. The following 10 places will make you look at the beaches in a completely different way, because these are real works of art created by nature. Each of them has its own amazing feature, distinctive and unique details, but something unites them all: absolute unearthly beauty.

Honopu Beach - Kauai, Hawaii

This beach, separated by a natural rocky arch, is very difficult to reach, so it is one of the most secluded and pristine beaches in the world.

Anse Sourz d'Arjan Beach - La Digue, Seychelles

This beach is deservedly considered one of the most picturesque on earth: perfect white sand, huge stones, green palm trees, sky-blue water. When you look at all this splendor, sometimes it seems that this is a picture taken in Photoshop.

Giants Road - Ireland

Complex geological processes caused the formation of 40,000 basalt columns here, of which this unique beach consists, similar to a place from ancient English fairy tales.

Benagil Cea 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. Consider their bizarre intricate forms for hours.

Cathedral Beach - Ribadeo, Spain

The beach bears such a name due to the huge number of grottoes, caves and cliffs located here. The fact is that all these natural formations are very reminiscent of the shape of Catholic cathedrals.

Whitehaven Beach (White Paradise) - Holy Trinity Island, Australia

This amazing, world famous beach is part of the national park and is protected by the state. There is no infrastructure on the beach, but on the other hand, amazing enough white sand, azure water and impossibly beautiful nature. Tourists are brought here for one day.

Reinisfjara Beach - Vic, Iceland

This place has nothing to do with the usual pictures of sultry beaches: unique black sand, majestic basalt columns, restless gray-blue, cold sea. Beauty, frankly, from the category of Gothic, but the beach is not less impressive from this.

Hidden Beach - Marieta Island, Mexico

This beach is one of a kind, because it is located right inside the rocks of one of the islands of the Mexican archipelago. The island is a national park, and to get to the beach, more like a pool, you can only swim through a small tunnel.

Bioluminescent Beach - Vaadhu, Maldives

When the sun hides behind the horizon, this already beautiful beach turns into ... starry sky! And all thanks to the abundance of special unicellular organisms in the coastal waters. From such a beauty, the heart just freezes.
