beautiful beaches i can find

HI! I'm Elizabeth

today, i'm going to talk about the most beautiful beaches in the world. i want to talk about this because i want to go there and relax, not thinking about homeworks, assignments, and exams.. hahhaaa....

Here's a small summary of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Let's start with Polynesia. Thanks to the huge size and the geographic variety of this territory we can find many wonderful beaches there.

All the islands have great beaches. White sand (because of the corals), emerald green waters with some coral reefs which give a wonderful effect of contrast, coconut palms, and of course the sunset!!!


Bora-Bora and its very famous lagoon


Huahine (southern point of the island)

Then the archipelago of Tuamotus, still in Polynesia


Aratika (more precisely one of the small islands inside the atoll)

Vue du lagon
Kauehi (interior edge of the atoll)

and last but not least, another Polynesia's pearl : Gambier Islands (even if it's not the best place to have a sunbath -the spot is not really suitable for tourists-, however there're some really good beaches)

Passe entre 2 îles - Mangareva - Iles des Gambiers
Cuba and in particular the beaches of Varadero

Here'a a 15 km beach, with white and fine sand. There are not so many fishes next to its shore, unlike Polynesia. The sea bottom is completely flat and without stones..

Koh Rok Island - In this island protected by the rangers you can find two bautiful beaches: a small one and a really bigger one just in front. It's a little piece of heaven! The sea bottoms are full of corals and so it's really easy to see lots of fishes.

Ao Nang - next to Krabi : a wonderful beach that is often "assaulted" by "part-time" tourists: infact they arrive by boat and they usually don't stay more than few hours. There should be another beach not far from the first one, but i didn' see it.

loh Dalam Bay in Koh Phi Phi Don Island - a lovely touristic beach

Northern Bay of Koh Racha - a very peaceful place with white sand, palm trees, some quiet bars recreating the atmosphere of the late 60's

Dominican Republic (sorry for the bad quality of the images, which hides the natural beauty of the place)

Rep. Dominicaine
Saona Island

Rep. Dominicaine
still Saona Island - all sides are beautiful

Mexico

Beach of the archaeological site of Tulum - Take the perfect white of the sand, add the turquoise blue of the sea, and mix it with the amazing spectacle of the Maya site.....you'll have a cocktail absolutely unique!


one thing i want to do now is to go one of the beautiful beaches and just sit on the soft white sand while drinking coconut and just enjoy life...

hmmm.. =p
