  • desperate for a beach break? Me too.\ \

  • Kicking us off at number 12 is a beach in Portugal's famous Algarve region. It's just

  • a 15 minute drive from the holiday town of Albuferia and a great excuse to escape the

  • holiday masses. What's great about this beach is the beautiful rock formations that have

  • been created over time due to erosion. It's really quite something.\

  • \ Number 11 is Praia de Santa Maria - a stunning

  • white sand beach in the capital of the island of Sal in Cape Verde. From the beach you can

  • watch the hustle and bustle of the fishing pier which is the soul of the town. And locals

  • say you have come to Sal until you've jumped off the pier, so if you're up for the challenge

  • - then you've gotta take the plunge! \ \

  • Porthmeor Beach in St Ives, Cornwall is one of England's little gems and my number 10.

  • It's a long sandy beach in the heart of the town and popular with families and surfers

  • alike, having one of the best surf schools in the country.\

  • \ At number 9 is El Golfo beach in Lanzarote.

  • It's a volcanic beach on the outskirts of Timanfaya National Park with completely black

  • sand. On one end of the beach is a bright green lake called El Lago Verde, and on the

  • other end the small seaside town of El Golfo which has excellent seafood restaurants and

  • walks. \ \

  • At number 8 it's Khlong Prao beach on the island of Koh Chang in Thailand - a beach

  • that will help you forget your troubles and blissfully relax. I recommend going to watch

  • the sunset and then getting a table on one of the beachside restaurants and watching

  • the spectacular fire show done by locals.\ \

  • At number 7 it's Playa de las Teresitas - a long sandy beach in Tenerife, just outside

  • the capital Santa Cruz. This beach is in the north of the island which means it\'92s much

  • quieter than beach you're going to find in the south which attract a lot of tourists.

  • \ \

  • Unawantana is loved by locals and tourists alike, and with palm trees, white sands, blue

  • waters to surf and swim, it's easy to see why. \

  • \ And in at number 5 it's Playa Maderas in Nicaragua.

  • This is a super relaxed and rustic surf beach but it comes with the biggest and best sunset

  • I have ever seen. Take me back.\ \

  • We've made it to number 4 and it's Kite Beach in Dubai which is a beautiful beach but it's

  • also great to come to have a lot of fun! There's kitesurfing, beach volleyball, beach tennis,

  • yoga, kayaking plus you will get some great views of the Burj Al Arab.\

  • \ Moving into the top 3, and at number 3 it's

  • Reynisfjara - a beach on Iceland\'92s south coast and one of the most hauntingly beautiful

  • places in the world. The beach is famous for a rock stack that, according to legends, are

  • the remains of trolls that stayed out at sea for too long and turned to stone at dawn.\

  • \ And at number 2 it's Playa Norte - a beach

  • on the small paradise island of Isla Mujeres in Cancun, Mexico. The beach is breathtakingly

  • beautiful, think white sand and crystal clear oceans. I recommend renting a golf buggy as

  • you get off the boat to find the beach and explore the island in full! \

  • \ And we've made it! My number 1 best beach

  • in the world is Anthony Quinn Bay on the Greek Island of Rhodes. Climb down the cliff edge

  • to discover a bay of turquoise waters and rugged terrain, it\'92s like a secret oasis.

  • Fun fact: the beach is named after the actor Anthony Quinn who fell in love with the beach

  • when filming The Guns of Navarone. Quinn was gifted the bay in recognition of the film

  • and if you come here you'll see for yourself why he was so taken aback by its beauty. \

  • \ If you've got a favourite beach then let me

  • know in the comments below and then subscribe to our channel. See you again soon for the

  • next World's Best.}
