A Sample Of The Famous Beaches In The World

By Byron Jonas


People love going to the beach but there are some out there that appear to capture the attention more than others and are often places a lot of us only dream of going to. So here are some of the most famous beaches in the world that appear on this dream hit list of places you would like to sun yourself at.

Any list that is about this topic has to include the 4km long beach of Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro because it manages to encapsulate so many feelings of the setting, carnival, and samba. Yes it is a very busy beach whenever it is sunny but it is always the kind of place so many people would love to just be able to say they have visited in the world.

Hawaii is a place that is also well known for its beaches and perhaps the most well known one is Waikiki at Honolulu. It is seen by many to be the absolute centre of the tourism industry in Hawaii and if you are travelling there for a holiday you really do need to spend some time on it just to say you have topped up your tan there.

Moving south to Mexico should take you to Cancun which is yet another rather dreamy holiday destination. You shall find several beaches for you to choose from in the area and some of them do require you to travel by boat as they can be quite inaccessible from the mainland due to being on islands in the lagoon but at least they do tend to be quieter.

If you then go to Australia you shall come across Bondi Beach in Sydney which is perhaps the most well known in the country. However, if you are more of the surfer type then you should consider moving to Queensland and to the Gold Coast where you shall find the area known as Surfers Paradise.

If you then move back to the United States you should have several to choose from with South Beach in Florida and then Malibu in California perhaps being the most famous. They both have several to choose from but you do have a lot of space and they are very good for the family to go to.

These are just a few of the famous beaches in the world but there are so many it is difficult to list them all in just a short time. You should try to do some research into them and see what ones are available wherever you are or wherever you intend to go for your holiday before you travel so you can at least say that you have been there.
