The beach is ideal for swimming, or to just enjoy a quiet time basking in the sun.

“These spectacular beaches stand out for their world-class sand, breathtaking water, and all-around relaxing environments,” said Michele Perry, director of communications for TripAdvisor. “Many of these beaches are off the beaten path, so travelers should pack their beach bags and head there before word gets out.”
