Below is the list of the top five most breathtakingly gorgeous coastlines in the world, in case you need some ideas for a scenic bay to visit or a coastal drive to embark on your upcoming vacation.
5 Best World’s Most Beautiful Coasts
- Shore thing
Where land meets the sea is where some of Mother Nature’s most stunning scenery may be found, from secluded and uninhabited archipelagos to opulent rivieras, clifftop seaside villages, and exquisite beaches. This is the world’s most captivating coastline to travel to the shore who want a piece of beach paradise.
- Lofoten Islands, Norway
Norway’s Lofoten archipelago is unabashedly wild, with its cliff-edge homes, vast fjords, and craggy granite mountains rising out of the water. Both calm, peaceful days like this one, when the sea reflects Lofoten’s towering peaks, and stormy days when waves swirl menacingly around the coastline, are stunning in their own right.
- Anse Source d’Argent, Seychelles
Anse Source d’Argent, with its white-gold sand lapped by clear azure waters, is the dreamy desert island beach. The boulder-speckled strand on the Seychelles island of La Digue has earned movie star status as it has appearances in films such as Emmanuelle, Crusoe, and Tom Hanks’ Cast Away, as well as several advertisements.
- Big Sur, California, USA
Big Sur, a stunning 90-mile (145-kilometer) stretch of central California coastline between Carmel-by-the-Sea and San Simeon, is home to wildlife, including sea otters, grey and blue whales, and endangered Californian condor birds, to name a few. In this stunning shot, its rugged cliffs meet the emerald-green Pacific Ocean to form a jaw-dropping slice of coastline.
- Malabar Coast, India
The tropical Malabar Coast of southern India extends southwards from Goa and is widely considered to include most of the states of Karnataka and Kerala. The vibrant city of Kochi (Cochin), where traditional fishing nets cast an almost ethereal silhouette over the harbor at sunrise and sunset, is a highlight along this verdant coastline.
