Who does not love the beach? There is sun, ocean breezes, golden sands, and relaxation… There is no question regarding the desirability of the beach, but with thousands of beaches all over the world, what are the best beaches to visit?

The following article showcases seven beach destinations that we think are quite enticing…

Seven
Nantucket, Massachusetts

Formerly a hidden pleasure for the upper eastern coast’s elite, the rest of the world has caught on to this coastal treasure. Replete with salt marshes, ponds, and white sand beaches, it is no wonder New Englanders have kept things hush-hush about Nantucket. The beach is not Nantucket’s only attraction. The area is endowed with theatres, sporting facilities, and galleries enabling anyone to be entertained.

Six
Eilean Shona, Scotland

A true paradise, Eilean Shona is a different world in itself. Most visitors rid themselves of modern day conveniences and enter the ageless wonders found among footpaths and jagged cliffs. Secluded cottages are available to add to the timeless ambience. For those who would like to occasionally return to reality, there is a ferry leaving each morning and returning at night taking passengers to the mainland to further explore other amenities Scotland has to offer.

Five
Mykonos, Greece

Mykonos resides a short leap off the coast of Greece. An island worthy of gods and goddesses, it has been a haven for the rich and famous for some time. An area rich in charm and ornate, breath-taking architecture, many are inspired to spend periods there. The districts of Venice and Castro are two of the most popular spots on this Greek isle.

Four
Capri, Italy

Capri, existing off the coast of Italy, can only be accessed by water. Once on the island, visitors are awestruck by beautiful visions, arcane caves, and awesome peaks. Many enjoy the aesthetic of the Blue Grotto, an ancient landing allowing light to pass through an underground opening and illuminating its crystal waters.

Three
Tahiti, French Polynesia

One of the most frequented islands in the South Pacific, Tahiti is graced with captivating resorts and visual pleasures. Grambier, a nearby cluster of islands, offers further seclusion due to its landscape free from development. Visitors are blessed with long stays in Tahiti due to the flights to the mainland occurring only once a month.

Two
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Caribbean

A paradise of multiple islands, the world covets the occasion of visiting St. Vincent and the Grenadine Islands. The area affords enchanting eye candy and a variety of activities including swimming, snorkeling, windsurfing, and sunbathing. Anytime of the year is excellent for embarking on the trip, though the high season takes place between December and February.

One
Seychelles, Indian Ocean

This is a true getaway- Seychelles’ closest neighbor can be found more than one-thousand miles away. The island nation offers everything in a luxurious site-filled vacation, and yet has traces of mainland activities such as vendor markets selling everything from fresh food to jewelry. The mysterious Silhouette Island is one of the main attractions speculated to have hidden pirate treasures in its hills. The Seychelles is welcoming to relaxers, nature-lovers and all kinds of vacationers alike.
