While the summer is coming to a close, there are still about 6 weeks left to find yourself on a gorgeous, serine tropical beach somewhere in the world before succumbing to the fall season.

This is a list of the six best beaches in the world to see before summer is over.

Kovalam in Kerala, India

 Kovalam in Kerala, India is known for its pristine beaches. The two most famous beaches in the region are Hawa Beach and Lighthouse Beach. Truly a resort area to relax and pamper yourself, don’t forget to stop by a local resort or spa to try out the famous Ayurvedic Massage.

The Greek Isles

 

The Greek Isles are a beachfront paradise, regardless of which you visit. Mykonos, best known as a Greek fishing village, features homes painted in a rainbow of colors offering a fascinating view from the water and gorgeous summer weather. The fishing is top notch, the weather and sun-soaked beaches are pristine and lusted after, and the dining and nightlife are unparalleled. Mykonos is an insane beachfront vacation destination.

Bali

Bali’s beauty is matched only by its ease for tourism. This paradise is easy to access, boasts plenty of locals fluent in English, and is home to some of the finest luxury resorts in the world.

Cancun

Cancun, Mexico is a fantastic beach-front destination for young people. Swimming with college-aged tourists, Cancun is a safe, tourist-friendly part of Mexico, rich in culture, nightlife, and beach-front resorts as far as the eye can see. Many of the locals are bilingual and it’s a relatively quick plane ride from anywhere in the US.

Canary Islands

A completely festive, interesting island destination would be the Canary Islands. Without a doubt, these are some of the best beaches in the world. Scenic and serene, the Canary Islands are best seen from the small fishing villages and from the forests instead of the tourist-laden resort areas. If you’re thrilled by the roars of volcanoes and the peace of lying on a beach soaking up the sun, this would be a great destination to get away from the rest of the world.

Ibiza

Although this is solely my opinion, the best beach destination in the world is Ibiza, Spain. Rich in culture, society, unsurpassed local cuisine, an incredible music and nightlife scene and the biggest party in the Mediterranean Sea that you’ll ever see. Part of the Balearic Islands lying 90 Kms off the coast of Spain, this is a great destination to get lost in the nightlife…and maybe visit the mainland for some more culture and experience.

Of course, there are countless coastal areas in the United States offering amazing beach-front vacations, but if you have the opportunity to visit the beach abroad, these are some amazing destinations to visit.
