Pink Sands, Bahamas

Harbor Island, part of the Bahamas archipelago, has also become famous for its exotic beauty. It is here that Pink Sands Beach is located, which got its name due to its unusual pink sand.

My ranking of the best beaches in the world 2017

Over four years, my top list of best beaches has changed a lot.
If in the previous article I loved Caribbean region— the majority of my favorite beaches were there, but now the Caribbean closes the list.

Now, getting ready to relax at sea, I In addition to the travel budget, I also evaluate the hardships of the road: flight duration, airline service, ease of travel and on-site transfers.

The Caribbean is not an option, and I wrote about this after returning from another trip from Central America: .
However, the criterion for evaluating the beach is the same for me and I quote myself:

What for me is the best beach in the world

- clean, transparent and fairly calm water;
- convenient entry into the water - in order to swim I don’t have to walk 100 meters knee-deep;
- cleanliness of the beach
The best option: coral White sand, which does not heat up in the sun like a frying pan
- minimum number of people on the beach.
If sausages are launched on a beach on a parachute, jet skis rattle - this beach goes to waste;
- maximum wildlife: I like there to be something next to the beach other than a seal lying down, because I can’t lie on the beach for more than 5 minutes.

The simplest and most affordable vacation at sea for me is.
Judge for yourself: the flight to the place takes 3-4 hours ().

Clear and healthy food: meat, fish, vegetables, herbs, cheese, olive oil.
The clearest sea and beautiful nature around.

Affordable, albeit modest housing - apartments (search on booking.com or on the airbnb website)
That's why I'll start with Greece.

Greece

Forgive me, lovers of resorts, Portugal! Your favorite beaches—I don’t like them at all.
