Introducing the World Beach Map

Click on an area of the map above and wander off into the wonderland of the World's Best Beaches. We did the work - you can do the choosing. And if we don't have your beach, we've made it easy to send us a message asking for it to be included.

In fact, if you own or operate a resort or bed and breakfast anywhere in the world near a beach, we'd love to hear from you as our readers enjoy the many stories we already have in the pages of Three Best Beaches of hidden paradises around the globe.

It all started with Three Best Beaches. We flew to the vacation beach destination and then did exhaustive homework from photos to restaurants to must see attractions. We graded, and still grade sand conditions, drive to the beach, parking, and best times to go.

For example - this awesome beach in Brazil is hidden away down a semi-steep trail. You'd never know it was there unless you asked the locals, as we did. With a dozen other beaches in the area, this one was our hands down favorite. You can read more about it, here. These are the gems that keep our readers coming back.

From three beaches, we expanded, by demand, to ALL the best beaches at the location. And as we grew, we had to depend on local reports until we get our team out to check. But you have the opportunity to report as well. Any beach you have been to, simply comment about it at the bottom of the page and that will be added to the material on that beach.

We also have a great feature - the Beach List! When you're on the Beach List, you're notified of great deals we come across, plus any security items we learn. Travel in confidence and save money by subscribing right now to the Beach List. You'll find the link to the left under the heading Suggest a Beach.

Our travels have taken us to Kauai, Hawaii, where we enjoyed some of the most breath- taking beaches in the world. And one thing is nice about Hawaii; it's relatively safe. We found it clean and the water simply sparkling. Read more about that, and a complete spread on every beach in Maui, here.

We've been featured on TV, most recently, on BBC's World Service. Their program "Click" gave us a full review sending viewers to check out some of the top beaches of the world. And they made a nice comment about the many, many videos we feature on the website. Make sure you check them out when you view the beach you want to visit.

Our visit to Aruba took us back to the island fifteen times where we ventured to almost every inch of shoreline. This tiny island in the Caribbean is huge with contrasts. On our first visit, we were in awe how cactus could grow in the tropics. One shore of Aruba is shallow, pristine white sand beaches, while the other side is rocky, deep and rough seas that open to the Caribbean Sea. Yet on this rocky north shore, we found an area rich in elk horn coral so large and beautiful it seemed we were in a fantasy land.

In the Maldives, we enjoyed every minute of the wonderful peacefulness of a group of islands that are literally in the middle of nowhere. And each island is home to a resort - at least the small islands. Talk about feeling isolate and remote! But God has had His handiwork in these island that are a must-see if you are a beach lover. Take a look at Maldives, here.

And Zanzibar has everyone talking. We can't stop our chatter about how fascinating this island of spices is home to both extreme wealth and old fishing villages that date back hundreds of years. The people here are just charming and make for a delightful experience if you are ever privileged to go. The beach area is very close to old parts of Zanzibar and you'll get to see first hand the people and the way they live. Visit those beaches, here.

We're expanding Australia. Many beaches and flavors in the land down under. In fact, we get requests all the time to review beaches that are off the beaten path. Australia is home to one of the longest beaches in the world. Come visit this paradise and see what everyone is talking about.

If you'd like more information about Three Best Beaches, or about a beach in particular, just write us - in the Suggest a Beach area - and we'll reply. And thanks for joining our community here. We appreciate you!
