TripAdvisor announces the Travellers’ Choice beach awards every year and they are based on the quality and quantity of traveller reviews and ratings gathered over a 12-month period.
So, for the year 2018 the list is out of the best beaches for you to travel in and here is where you should plan your next vacation in
Grace Bay, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos
The best beach in the world has been named as Grace Bay, pictured, which has turquoise waters, powdery snow-white sand and glorious year-round sunshine. One review on TripAdvisor reads: ‘This is one of the most beautiful settings you will ever experience. The beach is wide and excellent for a long walk. Peaceful and not overcrowded. The water consists of multiple shades of blue and you can get lost in the horizon’.
Baia do Sancho, Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
Baio do Sancho in Brazil, which has crystal clear waters that makes it ideal for diving and panoramic cliff-tops offering views of dolphins splashing in the bay. It has dropped to second after TripAdvisor named it the best in 2017. However, it is still popular with visitors with one reviewer writing on the website: ‘Everything, from the waves and the temperature of the water to the sand and the flowers and the birds flying over it makes you feel like you are in paradise’.
Varadero Beach, Cuba
Varadero Beach is one of Cuba’s most well-known beaches and came third in the list thanks to its white sand that is lined with coconut trees. Resort hotels that were built in the 1920s by American celebrities and gangsters, including Al Capone, teem along the shore.
Eagle Beach, Aruba, Caribbean
The powdery white sand, deep blue sea and palm trees means it’s easy to see why Eagle Beach is highly rated on TripAdvisor. It is also well-known for sea turtles, which come to shore every night during the breeding season to lay their eggs on the beach.
Seven Mile Beach, Cayman Islands
The beach being only 5.5miles-long, Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman in the Cayman Islands was praised for its family friendly vibe. As the beach is public property, visitors can walk along the whole stretch of the shoreline, which is dotted with hotels, resorts and villas. There is also a coral reef off the shore, which attracts snorkellers and scuba divers. One review for the beach says: ‘Beautiful white sand beaches, absolutely gorgeous. Peaceful and serene, that says it all’.
So, which beach are you heading to for a serene and rejuvenating vacation.
