While the ranking of the "best beaches in the world" is subjective and can vary depending on the evaluation criteria and timing, some beaches are widely considered, consensually, as the most beautiful in the world.
The reasons? Their geographic location, for example. Natural and more secluded beaches offer a wide diversity of coastal landscapes, making them more attractive.
Many of these beaches are located in regions with a Mediterranean, tropical, or temperate climate, with hot and dry summers and mild winters, which makes the weather ideal for spending long periods at the beach.
Another important factor is investment in promoting tourism in certain beaches, improving tourism infrastructure, services, and promoting environmental preservation (respect for nature and preservation of marine life), while also taking care of the quality of life of local residents (creating restrictions on the number of visitors).
There are many incredible beaches around the world, but here are some favorites in our Urbamarkt community:
