Greece

We’re not surprised that Greece has more than one on the list of the best beaches in the world, considering how stunning the rest of the land is. Not only is Greece known for being the birthplace of democracy, but they have two of the world’s most beautiful beaches.

  • Balos Lagoon in Kissamos, Greece
  • Falassarna Beach in Falassarna, Greece

Spain

Spain gets a lot of credit for Ibiza, paella, and soccer, but it also has two stunning beaches in the top 25.

  • Playa de Mura Beach in Playa de Mura, Spain
  • La Concha Beach in San Sebastian-Donostia, Spain

Brazil

Home to the Amazon Rainforest, the Amazon River, and Christ the Redeemer, Brazil is also home to beautiful beaches that showcase the lifestyle there perfectly.

  • Baia do Sancho in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
  • Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Australia

We know they are mostly known for being the place where the devil keeps his pets, but Australia also has two beaches in the top 25.

  • Manly Beach in Sydney, Australia
  • Cable Beach in Broome, Australia

The only ones in the U.S.

Well, we tried our best, but the United States only grabbed three spots in the top 25, claiming numbers 10 and 11, and 12. One is in Florida though, so visit that one at your own risk.

  • Ka’anapali Beach in Lahaina, Hawaii
  • Siesta Beach in Siesta Key, Florida
  • Driftwood Beach in Jekyll Island, GA
