The American travel website company TripAdvisor publishes a list of the world's best beaches every year. Today, we are going to explore some of this year's top 10 beaches in the world.
1．Baia do Sancho, Brazil
It is named as this year's best beach in the world. Its water is calm and clear. Its sand is fine and soft. But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. It is on Fernando de Noronha, a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazil's coast. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there. And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at a time.
2．Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos
While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to, TripAdvisor's secondranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.
This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand. Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming, or simply floating. Once on land, many visitors enjoy walking for several kilometers on the soft, warm sand.
3.Eagle Beach, Aruba
To get to the thirdbest beach, we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba. Like Grace Bay, Eagle Beach has clear, calm waters and soft white sand.
It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports, including tubing and jet skiing. Eagle Beach may be best known, however, for its dramatic sunsets. On clear nights, the sky turns red, orange, and purple.
4.Playa Paraiso, Cuba
The fourthbest beach is Playa Paraiso, an island off Cuba's southern coast. It has a fun, laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink. There is little else on the beach. And that is exactly what visitors like about it. People come here for the sugarlike sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.
