THE TOP 10 BEST BEACHES
THE WORLD'S TOP RATED BEACHES

You may think that an endless stay on one of the Top 10 Best Beaches in the world would be a privilege limited to a small percentage of the very rich. Isn't it a fact that every time one of the celebrity gossip shows is on television there are new pictures of famous celebrities playing in the water or lounging in beach chairs some of the top rated beaches in the world?

The expensive oceanfront resorts make it impossible for them to keep secret how expensive it must be to live such a luxurious lifestyle. But does the average family have to have saunas, spas and luxury waterfront lodging in order to have the ultimate beach experience? Day spas and fancy accommodations might be nice, but I'd rather take cheap family beach vacations on one the best beaches in the world than not to have any time there at all.

The goal of this beach guide is to pinpoint the locations, descriptions and qualities of the top rated beaches in the world. I hope that visitors to our beach, resorts and lodging information page will share their opinions and experiences with the rest of us. I expect very few movie stars to visit with us on this travel website as they probably have a travel agency on retainer that books their last minute vacation getaways to a privately owned tropical beach. Is it really fair that they are the only ones that get to experience the natural delights of the best beaches? It’s my opinion that beaches are to be enjoyed by everyone, not to be a well kept secret known only to the privileged.

If you have a recommendation for an unspoiled beach, please share it with us. Beach bums (and bikini babes) of the world, unite! Share your knowledge or give your opinions of which are the best beaches for families on a budget. Give the names and locations of nudist beaches for those who want to hang out topless as well as to help travelers who have kids and want to avoid nude beaches for the sake of the children. Which are the best beaches for dogs and which don’t allow pets, period?

What might be considered the ideal beach paradise to one person is completely inappropriate to another. Help travelers avoid the mistake of visiting a beach that doesn't have the qualities that they are searching for. Pick one of the beaches resorts or locations from the list and take the time to give a heads up to other travelers on what any particular tropical beach is about or cruise through the beach reviews before you make reservations at a beachfront resort for your family only to find out too late that this is the preferred destination for adults only vacationers because of the secluded topless beach.
