Warm, silky water rolls up ever so gently into the sweet curve of a bay palm tree for shade. We’ve checked out many of the world’s prettiest beaches. The following 35+ beaches rank among the best.

We could walk from Lover’s Beach to Divorce Beach, then scurry through the Arch and back around the rocks to Lover’s Beach.

One of the top white sand beaches in the world. Incredibly wide, the  family-friendly beach invites picnicking, building sand castles, playing volleyball and feeding the sea gulls.

Shell Beach, St. Barts

Shell Beach is littered with zillions of tiny shells. They’re so small though that you can walk on the beach barefoot without hurting your tootsies.

Railay Beach, Thailand

Rock climbing enthusiasts love scaling the dramatic cliff formations. Beach babes, however, are content to laze about and soak in the stunning scenery.
