Honokalani Beach, Waianapanapa State Park, Maui
Now, this is a super protected and sacred place for the local people of Hawaii boasts wonderful phenomena, being the black sand and black rocks from its cliffs. This has occurred from the natural erosion of the volcanic island, and also, when the hot melting lava hit the cold waters it immediately hardened and thus, shattered into millions of pieces due to the temperature difference. The limited resources of the beautiful black sandy stone are illegal to take home with you, but photography is still permitted so go ahead. It really gives you a unique experience creating an almost mystical outlook.

Not only a photographer’s dream but also perfect for the sunbathing gurus, the swimmers, and snorkelers alike. Horseshoe Bay is one of the most photographed on Instagram beaches on the planet. It could be a mix of the pinkish blush sand, or maybe the turquoise water, then again could be the many caves for the born explorers. The area is very famous and as one would expect, it does get rather busy during peak season. So, try going off-season where you will still get plenty of sunshine, without the overcrowding spoiling the picture-perfect wild beach.

This could well be one of the most beautiful islands in the world with a postcard picture-perfect outlook. The pristine white sand from dead corals transforming into pearl white, as in the whitest of whites you’ve ever experienced, never seen before with your own eyes, the crystal azure waters, and the indefinite palm tree raw with the most magnificent fauna ever seen. The marine life is in abundance and frankly spectacular, perfect for snorkeling the reefs and diving into the unknown. It does remain one of the best islands in the world and one that deserves to be seen.
Reethi Rah, North Malé Atoll, the Maldives
The Maldives as a destination has made us dream for decades upon decades. It is an experience one must get in a lifetime. We do talk about blue turquoise seas, white sandy beaches, and mini jungles all around with wildlife and well marine life down under, but it is true that North Male Atoll, Reethi Rah does it ever so well like very few others and boasts the largest and biggest of islands. Truly mesmerizing and breathtaking. It is so painful to get to go home as once there, the island naturally adopts you!
Refuge Cove, Wilsons Promontory, Australia
As the name implies, the beach stopover is home to most of the boats wishing to anchor down the night for over 200 years now. It is still in a state of wilderness, which makes it perfect for a barbecue on the beach, and a superb lazy way to spend the entire day doing nothing else but relaxing, eating, drinking, and enjoying the picturesque scenery. Do not expect any five-star treatment, simply a one-of-a-kind experience with a sense of feeling all alone in this mini paradise. The cove is surrounded by steep forested slopes rising to 300 meters above sea level. Impressive.
Butterfly Island, Goa, India
The only way to access this beach is by boat. And this makes it truly and remarkably inhabited feeling like you are the only one left on the planet. You could put on your hiking boots to get there and do it the proper manway, but we’d recommend sticking with the easier, more secured boat option. South of Goalies this unique place and one that will not be duplicated anywhere else within Goa. Terrific for honeymooners that is a break from the norm location without following everyone else footsteps, going to let’s say, the Maldives. For the food only it’s worth it! Millions of butterflies can be seen surrounding the area, and if you’re lucky, you can even catch the sights of dolphins doing their thing.
Take me to the beach, love all the beautiful beaches!
