Best Beaches in Europe and the World

One very important factor to consider when looking into cheap holidays is beaches. On rainy, gloomy days, when we are stuck indoors, our minds often wander and we start to picture beaches with soft, golden sand and blue, crystal waters. Let’s have a look into the best beaches in Europe and worldwide.

Europe

Let’s start with cheap holidays in Europe and their beaches. Some have argued that there are beaches in Europe that rival those found in exotic locations such as the Caribbean. Using an online centre for discount holidays, you will soon find that you can bag budget holidays to Greece. This is great news, as first on the list is Navagio Beach in Greece. Located on the Greek island of Zakynthos, this beach boasts crystal clear waters which laps white, soft sand and is a secluded little cove. There is a rusted wreck on the shore, which is why it is also known as Shipwreck Bay. If you are tired of sharing a beach with ‘every man and his dog’ this beach is for you, as it is only accessible by boat which leaves Port Vromi. It can get busy in peak season, but remains fairly quite the rest of the year.

Many people associate Italy with rich business men and women or millionaires, but you can find cheap holidays to this location, for those on a budget. There are many things that you can do and see for free, such as spending lazy days on a beach in total relaxation. 2^nd on our list for Europe beaches is Cala Luna in Italy. This is a secluded beach, located on the north western coast of the island. Crescent shaped, the beach boasts warm waters, making it ideal for those who love snorkelling and scuba diving. Again, this beach is accessible via boat or you can hike and take in breath taking scenery from Cala Gonone.

You can bag cheap holidays to Croatia and what is even better news is that there is a stunning beach here! The name, Zlatni Rat, really does not do it justice. Located on the island of Brac, this beach is unique, as it not only changes shape but also position. This all depends on the direction of the wind and currents. Bear in mind that the western end of this beach is an especially reserved area for nudists.

Worldwide

It is no surprise that Bora Bora is labelled as the most romantic place in the world. It can be hard to find cheap holidays to this location, but by using an online centre for discount holidays you can find deals, which won’t cost a small fortune. Once there, you will hardly need any spending money, as you can spend lazy days on stunning beaches. Matira Beach is on the top of the list, with crystal waters and white sands to enjoy. If you need some sort of entertainment, you are spoilt for choice with plenty of water sports on offer.

Playa Paraiso, Cayao Largo in Cuba is second on the worldwide list. There are secluded and remote parts of the beach but in some areas you will have to share exquisite views with others. This beach can be accessed via train from the ‘hotel zone’.

Grand Anse Beach in Seychelles is arguably one of the most stunning locations in the world! This beach is found on La Digue Island, located off the East Coast of Africa. What draws most people in is the granite rock formations which create a tremendous contrast against the beach, ocean and surrounding greenery. If you are an avid surfer, this is the place for you as this beach experiences great waves!

So there you have it, our list of the most beautiful beaches in Europe and the world. If you are on a budget, look into cheap holidays to Greece, Italy or Croatia and visit one of these stunning beaches.
