With the onset of the holiday season, almost every one of us is thinking about vacationing... sea coast. But it often happens that the impression of a trip to the sea is spoiled if it is not clean enough. Which seas are the cleanest in the world?

Where are the clean seas?

Unfortunately, it is very difficult to swim in the cleanest waters of our planet. The first cleanest is the Weddell Sea, which is located next to West Antarctica. Almost the entire year it is covered with ice and icebergs. The Weddell Sea is also one of the coldest in the world. In winter, the temperature of its water can drop to -1.8 degrees Celsius.

The second cleanest sea is called Sargasso. This sea is unique in that it has no shores, and its approximate boundaries are determined by ocean currents. The water in it is quite clean, but in many places the surface of the sea is covered with brown algae, from which it got its name.

And the Dead Sea, which is in third place on the list of cleanest, is more likely a lake. But due to the salinity of the waters, it is still called the sea. Life in its water is completely impossible, including for various bacteria. And fish that fall into its waters die almost instantly. It is possible for a person to swim in the Dead Sea, but it is difficult - the water pushes swimmers to the surface too much.

How clean are the Black and Azov Seas?

Well, what about the situation with cleanliness on our favorite Russian resorts- Black and Seas of Azov? We are not very lucky; the Black Sea is considered one of the most polluted seas on Earth. On the Russian coast of this sea, it is advised to relax in places as far away from civilization as possible. Numerous ports, shipping, and the dumping of industrial waste into the sea do not have the best effect on the ecology of these places.

In addition, at the bottom of the Black Sea there is a layer of hydrogen sulfide. According to scientists, it was formed due to the decomposition of living organisms at a time when the Black Sea flooded the surrounding areas. There is practically no life in this layer, and all marine animals are forced to live in surface waters.

According to tourists, the Sea of Azov is much warmer than the Black Sea, although shallower. It also has clean places and quite polluted ones, especially at the end of the summer season. But this sea also has its fans and is not inferior in popularity to other seas.

Clean seas in Russia

And if you still want to relax on the clean sea, but at the same time do not want to leave our country, then we recommend that you pay attention to the White Sea. It has been widely studied by Soviet and Russian scientists, and they claim that this sea is the cleanest in Russia.

During hot summer periods, the water temperature in the sea is quite high and staying on its beaches is not much different from what we are used to southern holiday. In addition, here you can not only enjoy swimming and get a pretty decent tan, but also go for berries, mushrooms or fishing. Animal lovers also have something to rejoice at - in spring and summer, seals and fur seals, as well as beluga whales from the cetacean family, can swim to the shores.

Clean seas at resorts: in Turkey and Thailand

Holidays in Turkey and Thailand are no less popular among our compatriots than in Russian resorts. As elsewhere, it’s better to know in advance which places are worth going to for clear sea. For example, in Pattaya, one of the most famous cities that tourists love to visit, the cleanliness situation on city beaches is not the best. Therefore, those who like to splash around in the crystal clear water you should go to the neighboring islands.

The cleanest sea in Thailand can be found in the south of the country. There is less industry there, and therefore less pollution. The leaders of cleanliness are the archipelagos of the Far South. Second place is given to Phangan, Tao and Samui, and Phuket, whose motto is cleanliness and transparency, closes the top three.

Tourists holidaying in Turkey are advised to visit clean beaches Antalya and Kemer. But in Kemer, some may be confused by pebbles instead of sand. But the water is clean, the bottom is visible even in the area of the buoys. Kemer is also famous beautiful views and lush vegetation. And in order to lie on the sand, it’s worth going to Antalya, where the sea is practically the same in transparency and cleanliness.

Often the cleanliness of the sea can vary depending on the coast. For example, the Turkish coast Aegean Sea- a bad example of water pollution from industrial waste. But the Greek coast of the Aegean Sea is one of the cleanest in the world (2nd or 3rd place in cleanliness according to various experts).

The cleanest sea in the world

And finally, the Red Sea is considered the cleanest sea on which you can relax. In many respects, the reason for the transparency of its waters is that not a single river flows into the sea, which means that the water does not bring silt and sand. This is an inland sea Indian Ocean, and it is famous for being the most salty sea on the planet after Dead Sea, as well as the most warm sea. For all these advantages it is rightly called one of the wonders of the world.

But if not a single living organism can survive in the Dead Sea, then in the Red Sea the situation is just the opposite. It is the abundance of diverse marine fauna that annually attracts thousands of divers and fishermen from all over the world. Today, scientists count more than 3,000 species of fish and invertebrates living in these waters, as well as almost 300 species of corals.

Therefore, if you choose the crystal clear Red Sea for your vacation, you will not be disappointed if you dare to conquer its depths! The thickets of coral reefs are home to an unprecedented variety of colorful fish, and at the bottom of the sea you can even see sunken ships that crashed here in time immemorial.

But do not forget to follow safety rules - in the Red Sea there are also not very peaceful animals, such as a tiger shark, a poisonous underwater snake or a toothy moray eel. But if you listen carefully to your instructor and follow his instructions, you will be able to fully enjoy the amazing and fantastic beautiful world Red Sea. By the way, according to the site, the Red Sea is also the warmest in the world.

Ecology

If you are preparing for summer vacation at sea, then you will probably want to swim in the crystal clear water.

And although there are a huge number of places in the world where the coast can boast incredibly clean sea water, in this list you will find exactly those coasts where sea water considered the cleanest in the world.

Here is a list of beaches, bays and islands with crystal clear water.

Where is the clean sea

10. Porto Katsiki Beach(PortoKatsikiBeach), Lefkada, Greece

You can get to it only along narrow roads, which are quite often crowded with tourists. Then you have to walk along a small, winding staircase along the cliff. Boat taxis are perhaps the easiest way to reach this secluded paradise. But rest assured, the journey is worth it. In fact, it's one in 10 best beaches Mediterranean Sea.

9. Fulhadhu,Goidhoo, Maldives

Fulhadhoo is an island located in the middle of the Indian Ocean. It is ideal for those who really want to see life through the eyes of the indigenous islanders. This is a true tropical paradise, located two hours by speedboat from the Maldives mainland, with no tourist attractions and only a hotel.

Tourists here should follow the rules of the natives, which means you can’t walk in a bikini (you can only outside west beach), and consume alcohol. Surrounded by palm trees, coral reefs, colorful fish and others sea creatures you'll find every reason to explore the Maldives.

8. Ipil Beach, El Nido, Palawan, Philippines

This beach is not busy with tourists. When you get here, you will be surprised to notice that you are alone on this beach, with the exception of a few local residents. Here you can see monkeys, lots of corals, palm trees and friendly turtles. The backdrop of the mountains creates an incredible landscape, and the sunset here is simply stunning.

7. I'll giveDam Trau BeachprovincesBaria-Vung Tau,Vietnam

Dam Trau Beach is quite close to the airport, so you can often see airplanes directly overhead. The beach is partially surrounded by tropical jungle, bamboo and pine forests, making it feel like you are in your own little paradise. The beach can be reached via a rather bumpy road, which eventually reveals an incredible view of the sea, three small beaches and a shallow White sand. There are also very few tourists here.

6. Devils Bay, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

First you need a boat, then you have to walk a bit along a path or decide on a 30-minute hike with inclines and granite boulders that you have to crawl over. On the way down, the boulders in Devil's Bay form arches, grottoes, tidal pools, tunnels and a veritable labyrinth. It is also very interesting to go diving here and swim among boulders that are partially submerged in water.

Where is the cleanest sea

5. Elephant beach, Havelock Island,India

This beach became famous thanks to aquatic species sports This is a great place for adventure lovers. Snorkeling (the vibrant reef starts at just 5 feet), trekking, seaplane rides, fishing, glass bottom boat rides and even Boat trip, during which you explore the seabed.

4. Rabbit BeachBeach), Sicily,Italy

In 2013, this beach was voted the best in the world by the world famous travel portal TripAdvisor. The island is located 170 km from the mainland. A whole story is engraved in its rocky grottoes. It was inhabited by Arabs, Greeks and Romans. You can also discover prehistoric beach huts and hike along stunning, lush trails. Fun fact: there aren't actually many of these furry animals on the island named after rabbits.

3. Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), Zakynthos Island, Greece

Originally known as Agios Georgios, this beach is literally a shipwreck beach that has washed ashore. Sure, the mysterious shipwreck with all its legends lures tourists here, but the crystal clear waters of the beach are still the main reason why people come here.

The only way to get to this beach is to sail from the sea. Spectacular views can be seen from the hiking trails and the tourist platform at the top of the cliffs.

2. Tropic of Cancer Beach,Exuma, Bahamas

Tropic of Cancer Beach (also known as Pelican Beach) is the longest beach on Little Exuma, stretching 1.5 km. You can get here by walking along a long dirt road. The water here is clear, and there are no obstacles in the form of corals and stones. Due to its location, very few tourists come here, so this beach can truly be called a real oasis.

1. Hanauma Bay, Honolulu,GavathAnd

Hanauma Bay is a must-visit destination if you love beaches and clear seas. Created by a volcanic eruption tens of thousands of years ago and located on the island of Oahu, this bay is an area of excellent marine life.

First-time visitors to this beach must first watch a nine-minute video about marine life conservation. Previously, more than 10,000 people visited this place every day, but after the introduction of population control rules, no more than 3,000 visitors are allowed here per day.

Honolulu is worth visiting to spend time close to exotic marine life, enjoy calm waves and sparkling white sand, and of course take a dip in crystal clear waters.

The first place in terms of water purity is occupied by the Dead Sea, which is located between Jordan and Israel. Its sterility is ensured by a large amount of salt, which makes the water absolutely unsuitable for the existence of any living creatures - from fish to microorganisms. But this sea helps in the treatment of rheumatism and depression. However, the cleanliness of this facility is under threat, because people are worsening the environmental situation every year.

Wedell Sea

The Wedell Sea, which washes the shores of West Antarctica, is also one of the cleanest seas in the world. Almost 30 years ago it was even included in the Book of Records for this indicator. Research carried out at that time showed that a special disk, which made the water transparent, was visible at a depth of 79 meters out of 80 possible. Such indicators would hardly be possible if it were located near human residence.

Red sea

The Indian Ocean Inland Sea is not only the saltiest, but also one of the cleanest seas. Its area reaches 450 thousand square kilometers, and the volume of water in it is 251 thousand cubic meters. Also, the Red Sea is unparalleled in the number and diversity of marine flora and fauna. Its transparency is explained by the absence of rivers flowing into it, which often carry sand and silt. Despite this, every year the environmental situation in the Red Sea is deteriorating, as some ships dump garbage and waste directly into the water.

Mediterranean Sea

The Mediterranean Sea shares third place in terms of water purity with the Red Sea. Near some coasts of Turkey and Greece, it has even received a “Blue Flag” - a prestigious status indicating that the purity of the water meets the environmental requirements of the European Union. But on the coasts of France, Italy and Spain, Mediterranean waters are considered quite dirty due to the waste from developed industry that ends up in them. These countries have been fined more than once by representatives of the EU environmental organization.

Aegean Sea

The cleanliness of the Aegean Sea also depends on the coast. Some of the most sterile waters wash Greece, but off the coast of Turkey, the Aegean Sea systematically suffers from the discharge of wastewater. During so-called “red tides,” layers containing large amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus rise from the depths of this sea. Swimming in such water during this period, much less consuming seafood caught from it, is not recommended.

The word “sea” evokes only positive associations - doing nothing on the fine hot sand, a light breeze, the sound of waves, warm water and many days of well-deserved rest, which was so lacking during rush jobs at work and stuck in terrible traffic jams in our native cities. But when planning a trip to the south, you need to decide on the location of your vacation. Experts believe that at least once in your life you need to visit truly heavenly places on earth. What is it, the most beautiful sea in the world? We invite you to familiarize yourself with our rating.

It is very difficult to name the sea that has the most beautiful beaches and an amazing deep world. After all, there are only 81 such creations of Mother Nature on our planet. But, according to many travel agencies, the most beautiful and accessible for Russian tourist is the Red Sea.

A trip to Egypt, Jordan, Israel and other countries of the Middle East will allow you to get to know these vast water areas better. In the waters of the Red Sea, favorable conditions have developed for the life and prosperity of many representatives of the underwater depths.

And it’s not for nothing that the famous scientist Jacques-Yves Cousteau filmed his exciting film “The World of Silence” here. Ordinary tourists will be able to get at least a little acquainted with these underwater riches during excursion trips on boats with a transparent bottom.

At first glance, the water in the sea really has a reddish tint. There is no exact version yet as to why it is this particular color. It is believed that it contains a large amount of brown algae, and it is they who are responsible for the coloring of the water. Others give a different reason - there are a lot of rocks on the coast, they are reflected on the surface, creating a visual coloring effect.

Be that as it may, the Red Sea is also called the cleanest on the planet. Crowds of tourists on the coast and the proximity of the Suez Canal, loaded with heavy-duty ships, did not affect the cleanliness of the water.

A truly heavenly place located in Pacific Ocean. This is the inter-island sea of Bali. It wears this geographical name for the reason that it is “sheltered” between the Indonesian islands - Sulawesi, Madura, Sumbawa and Java.

The Bali Sea is often called one of the most beautiful bodies of water on the planet. It is also surprising because the surface of its bottom is covered not with the usual sand, but with sediments of volcanic origin. There are many volcanoes on the islands along the coast, which make their presence known from time to time.

The sea coast is strewn with sandy and very cozy beaches, which attract many tourists every year with their beauty. After all, in addition to lying comfortably on the sand, you can admire the amazing tropical vegetation. Due to the local tropical climate, the sea water temperature is almost all year round remains unchanged and does not fall below 28 degrees.

Caribbean Sea

Another warmest sea, the shores of which are buried in tropical vegetation. On the world map it can be seen in the place where the two largest American continents – the Southern and the Northern – are adjacent.

To relax on the beach Caribbean Sea, you need to go to the Central American countries - Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Mexico and other small states whose outskirts are washed by this sea.

Important information for tourists: holidays on the Caribbean coast are usually economical and exotic, but in most countries foreigners feel unsafe, as there is a high crime rate.

The sea waters are very warm. Their temperature in August reaches +29 degrees Celsius. Even in the middle of winter it does not fall below +25.

Thanks to favorable climatic conditions on deep sea life is actively thriving. Seals, manatees, flying fish, sharks live here, and in some places you can even spot migrating humpback whales. Therefore, many tourists prefer to come on holiday to countries Caribbean for diving and snorkeling.

The Mediterranean Sea is another participant in our rating, which can rightfully be called one of the most beautiful on the planet. It separates two continents – Africa and Europe. Since this body of water is located in a very convenient location(it is not difficult for millions of tourists from European countries to get to it), then in the high season almost all the beaches are occupied by vacationers.

This sea is known throughout the world for its tranquil pastime and comfortable climate. Respectable tourists prefer to build multi-storey villas here, and tourists with smaller sums in their wallets hitchhike, staying in inexpensive hotels Cote d'Azur. In winter it is not cold and humid, and the summer months enjoy hot, clear and dry weather. What's not an ideal place to relax?!

Thanks to its rich historical past, the Mediterranean coast is strewn with ancient monuments and ruins from Antiquity. But most of all, tourists are attracted by the unique landscapes of the surrounding area.

The most popular resorts are the shores of Lebanon and Naples, greek islands and, of course, the French and Italian Riviera.

Washing the shores of Australia, New Caledonia and New Guinea, this sea is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. It received this title not because of the beautiful landscapes of the coast, but because of the unique coral reefs at its bottom.

The Coral Sea boasts one of a kind natural object– Big barrier reef. It stretches over a distance of 2500 km and surprises with its rich underwater world. Whale sharks, moray eels, butterfly fish, sea turtles, lobsters and octopuses are found here.

There are a large number of small islands in the sea, mainly of coral origin. People do not live on these islands; they are a haven for thousands of species of flora and fauna.

At the resorts of the Coral Sea, a favorite activity of tourists is scuba diving. And this is not surprising, because such an excursion is remembered for a long time. Swimming between coral reefs, you can enjoy the unsurpassed beauty of the local underwater inhabitants.

The Sea of Lincoln attracts, first of all, with its cold beauty. Its coastline is decorated with amazing cliffs, which are separated by multiple fjords. And glaciers descend through the crevices to the water.

All year round, the sea surface is covered with a 2-meter layer of ice. But in the summer you can see open areas of meltwater for several weeks. And it’s not surprising, because this is the most northern sea of all the Arctic seas.

Tourists come here only to admire the harsh northern beauty. You won't find people swimming or sunbathing here. But in this area seals, walruses and narwhals feel great, and flounder and cod swim in the water.

Another northern sea that delights with its cold beauty. It is considered one of the cleanest seas and the most beautiful in our country.

There are many small islands in the White Sea, which have become habitats for birds and mammals native to this area. In its vastness there is a famous cultural and pilgrimage center - the Solovetsky Islands.

An excursion into history shows that back in the 9th century the sea was actively used by the inhabitants of the coast - here they fished and conquered new lands from their opponents. Everyone also knows the fact that the first Russian fleet was founded here under Tsar Peter I.

In Scandinavian mythology, the sea is called the “sea of snakes.” The ancients so named it because of the great curvature of the coastline.

A unique natural formation is located inland between Jordan and Israel. Due to the high salinity of its waters, the sea is called Yam ha-melach in Hebrew, which means “sea of salt.”

Thousands of tourists visit resorts located on the shores of the saltiest sea in the world. The water salinity in some areas reaches sky-high levels of 350 ppm. For comparison, the salinity of the surface waters of the Black Sea is 18 ppm.

Even ancient researchers claimed that those who do not know how to do this can swim in this sea; the water itself throws the swimmer to the surface. Therefore, there are many legends and myths associated with this amazing area.

The Dead Sea holds the record for being the lowest point on the planet's surface. The reservoir is located 430 m below ocean level. And the stunning landscapes make it one of the most beautiful seas in the world.

The sea washing the shores of India belongs to the Indian Ocean basin. It is notable for its huge tides, exceeding 7 meters in height. Also, during the eruption of underwater volcanoes, destructive tsunamis are observed here.

The island areas of the sea attract divers from all over the world. It's crystal here pure water and there are practically no underwater currents. And there is something to see.

The waters are inhabited by more than 400 species of colorful fish, and even the unique Irrawaddy dolphin is found here. Knowledgeable athletes will definitely dedicate several hours of diving to exploring the extinct underwater volcano.

Holidays on the coast will delight budget tourists. It's inexpensive and very beautiful here!

Black Sea

Let's finish our rating with one of the most familiar, but at the same time beautiful seas for our compatriots - the Black Sea. It would seem that what could be beautiful on the coast of popular resort towns?! But it’s worth visiting remote areas and real heavenly silence and purity will appear before your eyes.

In the vicinity of Gelendzhik, for example, there is a small village of Divnomorsk. Even from its name you can understand that something amazing will await you here. Tourists from many countries come here to visit the Blue Abyss, a bay surrounded by snow-white cliffs. Here you can stay with tents and experience the “wild” holiday for yourself.

Or Cape Fiolent in the vicinity of Sevastopol with its 785 steps that lead to the beach along a steep steep slope. It is safe to say that even on the Black Sea there are very Beautiful places, capable of surprising an experienced tourist.

When it comes to beauty, everyone has their own opinion. Some people will like the exotic atmosphere on tropical islands in the Caribbean Sea, and someone wants to conquer the strict icy desert of the Lincoln Sea. The most important thing is that everyone enjoys a holiday at sea and fills them with energy, which is so lacking in a stuffy metropolis.

The most enjoyable holiday at sea

Summer is getting closer, it's time to think about where to spend it. It was on the eve of the summer season that we compiled a rating best places for beach holidays in Europe, Russia and exotic countries. Don't know where to go? Meet us!

Where should you not go?

Leave aside European resorts that offer holidays on the Black Sea. The service there, of course, is higher than domestic, but the sea is the same, and the pricing policy can easily be compared with the resorts of the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean.
You should not go to those countries that seem unsafe to you: Thailand, India, Bangladesh. And if you decide to go there, choose your location and hotel carefully.
To resorts where there is at least a hint of an unfriendly attitude towards Russians. Your holiday could turn into a nightmare, so read reviews carefully.
To countries where you will have to overpay. Prefer Montenegro to holidays in Croatia, choose the Philippines instead of Thailand, and prefer Grenada to the Bahamas. There you will find everything the same, but much cheaper.
