We want to take you to the beach, but not just any one. We are going to travel the world showing you amazing, unique and wonderful beaches. Places of authentic fantasy that you will not want to leave. Are you ready?
1. A “covered” beach
Incredible true? It is the Algar de Benagil beach, on the beautiful coast of the Portuguese Algarve. A spectacular cave with an upper opening protects this fabulous beach which, by the way, can only be reached by sea.
2. Fantastic bows
In the southwest of Morocco, between Mirleft and Sidi Ifni, is one of the most incredible beaches you can visit. The reddish cliffs that escort Legzira beach will take your breath away, not to mention those arches that will make you feel tiny.
3. Natural architecture
Its real name is Aguas Santas beach, but it is known as Las Catedrales beach. The reason? Those stone arches and vaults, which are so reminiscent of the flying buttresses of Gothic temples. A work of art of nature that we discovered in Ribadeo, in the province of Lugo.
4. A beach from another planet
Also on Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland, nature has been capricious. Gray-black volcanic sand and fabulous basalt columns give life to an almost dreamlike place. A beautiful beach to contemplate it, but not to bathe in it.
5. Yes, it is sand
It may seem like it, but it is neither sugar nor flour. It is almost dazzling white sand. It is Hyams Beach, the beach with the whitest sand in the world, including a Guinness Record. He’s in New South Wales, in Australia.
6. A crystal beach
In the United States, at Fort Bragg, we found the example of how nature can respond to human action in a wonderful way. What you see, this time, is what you see. The sand at Glass Beach is actually small crystals rounded by the action of the water.
7. Strange inhabitants
They call it the “beach of the dragon eggs”. And it is that Koekohe Beach is strewn with huge stones of round shapes. Some are up to three meters in diameter. One more of our amazing beaches, in this case in New Zealand.
8. A very peculiar floor
Shell means shell or shell. And that is precisely what the soil of this beach in Australia is made of. Millions of little shells are your sand. The water here is so saline that the tiny mollusks have no predators, so they multiply uncontrollably.
9. A hidden beach
It is in the Marietas Islands, in Mexico, this is a beach within a huge hollow, hence its name. The water enters through a small tunnel, the same one that must be used if you want to access it to take a dip or enjoy the panorama.
10. Amazing beaches to visit at night
We finish our tour of surprising beaches talking about a curious phenomenon: bioluminescence. Beaches like this one in the Maldives turn into fantasy settings when night falls. In reality, those lights come from tiny organisms that react like this when they feel threatened. Fabulous!
