Kelingking Beach dazzles with its stunning cliff formations, powder-white sand, and blue-green sea. The clear water is perfect for snorkelling and exploring underwater life, and the sunsets are truly photo-worthy. It's easy to get to and has ample parking, yet still maintains a secluded, relaxed vibe (bonus: it also has restrooms).

Boracay's most popular beach draws a crowd for good reasons: soft white sand, turquoise waters, and amazing sunsets. It's a great place to swim and snorkel, and when you've worked up a appetite, lots of local dining and drinking joints are just steps away.

This is a wonderful spot in Sri Lanka for water sports, whether that's jet skiing or kitesurfing. The soft white sand is also great for catching some sun or ambling along the shore. Travellers say the sunset here is not to be missed.
