Greece and Australia shine in list of world’s best beaches

·

Greece and Australia have made a splash in the World’s 50 Best Beaches list, with several entries showcasing their coastal beauty, according to the dailymail.co.uk

Greece claims three coveted spots. Fteri Beach in Kefalonia ranks fourth overall, praised as being “tucked away in a secluded cove”, offering a pristine, tranquil escape far from crowded tourist hubs. Voutoumi Beach on the island of Antipaxos comes in at 16th, and Porto Katsiki, famed for its dramatic cliffs and turquoise waters on Lefkada, is listed 36th.

Australia also stands out with three beaches in the top 50. Turquoise Bay in Western Australia lands at number 11, celebrated for its vibrant marine life and excellent snorkeling conditions. Wharton Beach, known for its sweeping white sands and surf-friendly waves, is 21st. And Nudey Beach on Fitzroy Island near Cairns, with its coral-fringed waters and lush rainforest backdrop, secures the 37th spot.

Topping the global list is Cala Goloritze in Sardinia, Italy. Judges called it “more than just a beach” and “truly breathtaking”. Access is limited, preserving its untouched charm.

From Greece’s quiet coves to Australia’s vibrant reefs, these beaches highlight the countries’ coastal appeal.
