3 Cathedral beach Spain
It may seem like an unusual name to have but once you see what cathedral beach looks like it'll all soon become clear it's on the northwestern coast of Spain and in the local language is called the praia de Augustana which means beach of the holy waters the cliff face here has been subjected to the powerful forces of the Atlantic Ocean which has carved the rock in a way that looks almost like a gothic architecture so the arches these processes have formed are more than 90 feet tall and the coastal walls are littered with cracks that serve as the entrances to hidden caves behind it's undoubtedly one of the most stunning beaches in the world and in an added twist during low tide you can walk through during the high tide to the area is completely underwater and provides an equally impressive opportunity for a boat ride through the arches.
2 Anse Source D'argent Seychelles
Often voted the most beautiful beach in the world and easily one of the most photographed on source d'argent is truly an otherworldly paradise it's on the island of la DJ in the Seychelles and is surrounded by emerald color clear warm water and has fine perfectly white sand the thing that makes this place truly unique though is the presence of huge granite boulders along the shoreline they've been smooth by the action of the waves and the sand that's blown in the wind and they look simply magical images don't do this place justice as they look as if they've been painted and it's only when you set foot on the beach that you see how real it is add to this the rich biodiversity in the water with large numbers of fish and turtles that can be seen from the shoreline and it's virtually guaranteed that you'll never want to leave.
1 Star sand beach Japan
At first when you walk across the sandy beaches of Taketomi island in Japan you might not think there's anything too different from other beaches you visited but if you take a closer look you'll soon realize this Beach is one of the most unusual in the world that's because here mixed in with the sand particles are the husks of millions upon millions of tiny organisms called foramina ferrah and the particular species that are native to the waters are star-shaped in appearance if you pick up just a small handful of sand you'll have hundreds of stars in your hand which is why this place is commonly referred to as the star sand beach this isn't the only beach in the area where you can see this although it's by far the largest next time someone asks you if there are more grains of sand on the beach or stars in the sky then remember this beach in Japan as it proves the answer isn't quite as simple as it first seems.
