10. Bonfil Beach – Mexico

Located on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula lies this popular beach lined with palm trees and pretty white sand. There is a small reef about 600 meters out, so be sure to take note before jumping in for a swim or snorkeling session. The shallow water makes it perfect for children as well as novice swimmers. If you happen to be down there during low tide, go exploring along the exposed water edges! The water here is very calm and shallow, so you can snorkel without getting too wet.

9. Playa Paraiso – Dominican Republic

This destination in the Caribbean looks like something out of a postcard. With white sand and great weather throughout most of the year, it’s no wonder why this beach is popular with tourists from all over the world.

8. Navagio beach – Zakynthos Island

Popularized by an episode of shipwreck survivor Aron Ralston in the movie “127 hours” Navagio beach is a remote location found on the western side of Zakynthos, Greece.
