Is This the Most Beautiful Beach in the World?
It's that time of year again, the weather's a little warmer, you're busting out your 2-piece, and ready to head to the beach. Whether you intend to take a jump into the ocean, or sit-back-and enjoy the view, here are some spots to aspire to visit. Pack up your flip-flops, sunscreen, and beach towel, and take a look at some of the world's most stunning beaches:
1. Maui, Hawaii

Classic. Perfectly paved paths of green grass lined with smooth rocks, a row of palm trees, pale sand and crystal clear water, not too far from a variety of shops and restaurants. Get ready to say "hello" to a turtle or two while you're there.
2. Langkawi, Malaysia

Not as densely populated as Maui, this spot in Malaysia can be the perfect spot to seek solitude, or have some solo time with a special someone. Also, heads up, if you're coming here from the states, you can get a hotel room for $5-30 per night, not bad!
3. Fraser Island, Australia

You may have heard about the kangaroos and the vegemite that can be found abound in Australia, but what about the beaches? Here's one that takes the cake: some of the clearest water you'll ever see, with clean, white sand and countless mini islands to consider adventuring to.
4. Bora Bora, Tahiti

If you're living the city life, and missing some greenery in your life, look no further than the place that dreams are made of: the jungle-like destination of Bora Bora. Enjoy a frozen lemonade and fresh grapes as you lounge in a beach chair, eyes taking in the gorgeous aqua water and green plants in your view.
5. Lanikai Beach, Hawaii

Of course Hawaii makes another appearance on this list- the Hawaiian islands are known for this: their beauty, their mystique, their tranquility. Visit Lanikai to soak up the sun and bask in the warm water, and let your troubles fade away.
6. Maldive's Beach

How about this: your own private island? You'll come pretty close with Maldive, Southwest of India and SriLanka, it's a tucked-away series of islands that encourage time spent in the water, away from it all, yet connected.
