During my various travels, I have been able to travel across Europe, America, Asia, and Australia and I have seen the most beautiful beach on each continent.
Essential to remember
My 7 most beautiful beaches in the world: Whitehaven Beach (Australia), Anse Source d’Argent (Seychelles), Navagio (Greece), Pink Beach (Komodo, Indonesia), Tulum (Mexico), Maya Bay (Thailand), Trunk Bay (Virgin Islands). Each deserves a special detour.
The most beautiful beach in the world for you
  ;In this article, I will give you My selection and MY opinion on the most beautiful beaches in the world that I have seen.
  ;My criteria for the most beautiful beach in the world
For me, the criterion of beauty is not the only one I will take into account, there are also the criteria :
- Of the beach environment, whether it is touristy, or in the middle of nowhere with few visitors.
- Of events or happenings that may have occurred on these beaches.
The most beautiful beaches in the world :
My experience
I set foot on Whitehaven Beach after 3 years of traveling around the world: it is the first beach that made me think that the retouched photos were not so exaggerated. The sand is so white that it reflects the blue of the sea in turquoise cyan.
Did you know?
Whitehaven Beach (Whitsundays, Australia) is composed of 98% pure silica, which gives it its bright white color and its sand that does not heat up in the sun. It is one of the whitest beaches in the world, measurable by spectrophotometer.

The most beautiful beach in Australia: Wineglass Bay in Tasmania,
This beach is located in Freycinet National Park (the name of the national park comes from a Frenchman) in Tasmania. Its name says it all as you see the water like a wine glass. For me, it is the most beautiful beach I have seen. It is on the path of a multi-day hike, which is recommended as one of the 20 best hikes in Australia, accessible after 2 hours of walking from the start. There are not many people on the beach, at most no more than 30! This beach is the most beautiful of all for one reason: when I was there with my friends, we spotted wild dolphins and swam with them for 10 minutes! It was a magical and unforgettable moment.
Be careful, however, the waves are quite strong.

The most beautiful beach of the islands of Indonesia in Asia: Gili Trawangan,
Gili Trawangan, a small island located off Bali, which is 3-4 hours by fast boat or more than 7 hours by slow boat, is home, in my opinion, to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world! Despite being a bit more touristy than the others. This beach allowed me to swim with turtles during a boat excursion. The beach is translucent.
-
The most beautiful beach in the Perhentian Islands in Malaysia, Kecil Island,
Another beach located in Asia, during my stay in Malaysia I spent several days on the Perhentian Islands on Kecil Island which is one of the two main islands. In Malaysia, there are several monsoons so it is better to go from early March to late September. I really liked the beach of Long Beach which is a large white sandy beach lined with coconut trees with parties in the evening, and they also organize full moon parties!
The classic trap to avoid
Avoid Maya Bay (Thailand) between January and June: the bay is closed to the public to allow the coral to regenerate. Always check the access conditions of “iconic” beaches before booking a specific trip.

The most beautiful beach in Koh Tao, Thailand
Koh Tao is one of the islands in the world that has the most diving centers in such a small area and there is a good reason because it has magnificent corals and beaches. Although its main beach “Sairee beach” is the gathering place for divers and partygoers, there are superb coves around this island that are more difficult to access either by quad bike or by boat taxi. It was on this island that I completed my PADI “open water”.

This beach, located in the Whitsunday Islands, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, it is one of the most visited places in Australia along with Sydney, Cairns, or Uluru. You can only access it by a boat trip lasting one to three days. This limits the number of tourists on the beach as they arrive at different times. Around the beach, there are excellent snorkeling spots. An unforgettable moment guaranteed, you will see thousands of fish!

Pink Beach in Komodo, Saud Beach in the Philippines, or Anse Cocos in the Seychelles. Less known, therefore preserved.
