My Bucket List

The 25 Best Beaches in the World, according to Thrillist:

1. Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 
2. Anse Source d’Argent, La Digue, Republic of Seychelles 
3. Hidden Beach, The Marieta Islands by Puerto Vallarta, Mexico 
4. Plage de St. Jean, St. Barths, French Caribbean 
5. 7 Mile Beach, Negril, Jamaica 
6. Maya Bay, Ko Phi Phi, Thailand --- This plush tropical beach was used as the backdrop for the cult movie The Beach, and the reason is probably that they needed one of the world's most gorgeous tropical beaches in the film. 
7. Plage de Tahiti, St. Tropez, France --- (nude beach) 
8. El Castillo, Tulum, Mexico 
9. Baia do Sancho, Fernando de Noronha, Brazil --- TripAdvisor's hands-down best beach in the world. 
10. Bells Beach, Victoria, Australia 
11. Paradise Beach, Mykonos, Greece 
12. South Beach, Miami, FL, USA 
13. Sunrise Beach (Had Rin Nok), Koh Pha-Ngan, Thailand 
14. Bahia Gardner, Espanola Island, Galapagos 
15. Mosquito Bay, Vieques, Puerto Rico --- Mosquito Bay's the world’s best example of this natural light show, which takes place when dinoflagellates are disturbed and emit a trail of neon blue like a leaking glow stick. Rent a clear polycarbonate canoe to see it up close. 
16. White Bay, Jost Van Dyke, British Virgin Islands 
17. Kite Beach, Cabarete, Dominican Republic 
18. Manu Bay, Raglan, New Zealand 
19. Glass Beach, Kauai, Hawaii --- The clear, blue, and brown glass pebbles that cover this beach are a sight to behold. It takes the ocean about 10-30 years to create them. 
20. Lake McKenzie, Fraser Island, Australia 
21. Rabbit Beach, Lampedusa, Italy --- A stunning and secluded nature reserve accessed only by boat, Rabbit Beach is consistently rated one of the top four beaches in the world on TripAdvisor.
