Written by:  Jamie

Whitehaven Beach Australia

Whitehaven Beach is not only one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, according to CNN it is actually the most eco-friendly beach in the world.

Playa de las Catedrales – Ribadeo, Spain

Formerly known as Praia de Augas Santas (Beach of the Holy Waters) but renamed by locals as Playa de las Catedrales (Beach of the Cathedrals) after the extraordinary series of natural rock formation resembling the arches of a cathedral. This unique geology located on the coastline of Spain reveals beautiful natural arches, sea caves at low tide, and spectacular cliff views although the beach is nearly inaccessible when tides are high.
