Top 10 Best Beaches in the World.

BeachAtlas, a London-based company known for its beach guides, thought about all of these things and more. This year, the Golden Beach Award 2024 winners were chosen by looking at beaches in a bigger picture, highlighting hidden gems that offer more than just pretty views and soft sand. Then, they asked influential people and travel experts from all over the world to rank the final list.

The result is a list of 100 beaches that offer a wide range of qualities, such as natural beauty, party and lifestyle options, community, cultural importance, and openness to everyone. An island group in French Polynesia called Bora Bora has the best beach in the world.

It is said by BeachAtlas that Bora Bora is “where your wallet whispers ‘help’ but your Instagram screams ‘heaven.'” Dive into the clear water during the day, and take pictures of the sunset at night.

The name “Bora Bora” makes people think of beauty, wealth, and privacy. Its land size is only 12 square miles, and it is protected by a barrier reef and a bright blue lagoon. Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu, two dormant volcanoes that rise from the middle of the main island, are what make it stand out. The main island is ringed by motus, or small islands, that are usually too small for more than a few beach chairs.

A list of the world’s 50 best beaches joins other lists that try to find the best beaches in the world. For example, earlier this year, TripAdvisor called Praia da Falésia in Olhos de Água, Portugal, the world’s best beach. Some time ago, European Best Destinations called Ghajn Tuffieha Bay Beach in Malta the most beautiful beach in all of Europe. Barbie has also unofficially brought attention to pink-sand beaches all over the world over the past year.

Today on NYT “Strands,” we have clues, a spangram, and answers for Saturday, December 21st.

The World’s 50 Best Beaches report says that Trunk Bay is the most perfect Caribbean beach for a number of reasons.

The story says, “Visitors love the very soft sand and the clear, pool-like water, but what really sets Trunk Bay apart from other Caribbean vacation spots is its location in the beautiful Virgin Islands National Park.“

Basically, this means that the beach is a safe place to be, with lots of plants and animals living there.

The Leatherback turtle, which lives in the area and is called a “trunk,” gave the bay its name.

“Those who live on the beautiful U.S. Virgin Islands and those who come back to visit hold Trunk Bay and the many beaches across the islands in a special place in their hearts,” says Joseph Boschulte, Commissioner of the USVI Department of Tourism in a news release. “We have long regarded our beaches as some of the best in the world, and this recognition helps us share that with the world.”

From December to April is the Caribbean’s high season, and that’s when Trunk Bay is busy.

Lucky Bay, in western Australia, is a favourite spot for kangaroos. It was voted the best beach last year.
