Beaches that ruined all other beaches for me

Whitehaven Beach

Whitsunday Island, Australia en.wikipedia.org

The sand is so fine it squeaks. Hill Inlet lookout at low tide.

Anse Source d'Argent

La Digue, Seychelles en.wikipedia.org

Reynisfjara

Vík, Iceland en.wikipedia.org

Black sand, huge waves. Stay well back from the water.

Elafonissi

Crete, Greece en.wikipedia.org

Navagio

Zakynthos, Greece en.wikipedia.org

Best seen from the clifftop viewpoint rather than the boats.

Praia da Marinha

Algarve, Portugal en.wikipedia.org

Walk the cliff path from here to Benagil.

Maya Bay

Ko Phi Phi Le, Thailand en.wikipedia.org

No swimming now, but it's recovered beautifully.

Railay Beach
