There’s something incredibly calming about walking along a deserted beach, be it a tropical paradise backed by swaying palms, or a typically British pebble beach with the angry sound of ocean waves in the background. Beaches and the ocean can hypnotise and instil a sense of wonder and awe.
Our beautiful planet, of which 70% is covered by water, means there are literally countless beaches across the globe, from the hidden craggy inlets of pretty European islands and the Caribbean’s paradisiacal swathes of white sand to the volcanic black sand beaches that can be found in Hawaii, Iceland and beyond - there’s a scenic beach for every type of traveller.
