Swimming is not possible due to strong currents, but there are plenty of great glass boat tours to explore the colorful coral reefs. The best time to visit is summer to early fall (June to October).
2. North Male Atoll Islands, Maldives
The northern and southern Male Atolls have a lot of natural charm, but the northern part attracts a bit more attention as it has some of the best surf breaks in the Maldives. There are many excellent dive sites on both sides of Vadhoo Khandu, the waterway that runs between North and South Male Atoll, while Gaafaru Palhu Atoll (north of North Male Atoll) is home to several shipwrecks of interest.
The beaches of the Maldives are a different world. Each island has a little magic that can't be found anywhere else in the world. Eat a fresh coconut and bask in the tropical sun as spectacular sights unfold wherever you go. The best time to visit is between December and April, during the dry season.
3. Pulau Sipadan, Malaysia
Borneo's Pulau Sipadan Island is covered in lush coral, making it a haven for divers with a healthy marine ecosystem. Hammerhead sharks and green turtles live in the coral reef, and you can also see tornadoes formed by barracudas.
Sipadan takes nature conservation and protection so seriously that only 120 diver permits are issued each day and overnight stays are prohibited. The closest islands to stay are Mabul, Kapalai or Mataking, and there are several boats that leave daily for Sipadan. Fly from Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu to Tawau, drive 1-2 hours to Semporna, and then take a boat to the island, which takes about 1 hour. The weather is pleasant from April to December, and July and August are the best months for diving due to good visibility.
4. Tai Long Wan, Hong Kong
Tai Long Wan, located in Sai Kung East Country Park in Hong Kong, is also known as Big Wave Bay. It's home to some great beaches where you can spend a lazy day at the beach or go on an exciting adventure. In addition to surfing, you can also enjoy hiking or exploring hidden waterfalls just off the beach.
It consists of four beaches: Sai Wan, Ham Tin Wan, Taiwan, and Tung Wan. To get to Tai Long Wan, you need to go to Sai Kung Town and take a minibus or taxi to Sai Wan Pavilion. Once you get here, you can hike for 40 minutes to reach Tai Long Beach. It is best to visit in early fall (late September or later).
5. Kata Beach, Phuket, Thailand
Kata Beach on Phuket's west coast is home to sandy coves, deep blue waters, and great waves that attract surfers. The sandy beach stretches for 1.5km, making it one of the longest beaches in Thailand. You can take a seat under tall tropical trees such as almond trees and pandanus and relax in a hammock or chair to your heart's content.
The spectacular view shows Corfu Island, also known as Crab Island, the beach's trademark, on the horizon. For something a little more off the beaten path, head to Kata Noi at the southern end of Kata Beach. It is a small sandy beach with relatively weak waves and few resorts and hotels. December to March is the peak season, but this is when the weather is at its best.
6. Pink Beach, Lombok, Indonesia
Pink Beach, located on the southeastern coast of Lombok Island, is a place where you can't help but admire this fascinating natural phenomenon. Many people ask. Is it really pink? The answer may be 'yes' or 'no'. Pink appears depending on the time of day. It is said that the best time to see the spectacular combination of dazzling pink and blue is in the morning.
Stroll along pink sand and take a dip in sparkling turquoise waters. Climb the small hill at the end of the beach for a breathtaking view. Around the hill, a wonderful panorama of small islands decorating the sea in three colors awaits. The weather is best from May to October.
7. Nacpan Beach, El Nido, Philippines
Nacpan Beach is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Palawan. It is located on a stunning remote archipelago of dreamy cliffs and sand islands. Nacpan Beach is famous for its endless coconut trees, soft sand, and gently lapping waters.
Along 4km of sand and sea, rustic palm huts are lined up under friendly coconut trees, and you can sample delicious local food at local restaurants. Walk to the southern end of the beach, past a small fishing village, and you'll come to twin beaches named Kalitang. From here, you can reach the lush green hills and enjoy spectacular views of both beaches. Visit between November and May to enjoy the best weather.
8. Furong Beach, Taiwan
Furong Beach, located in the Gongliao District of New Taipei City, is a golden sand beach that is not commonly seen in Taiwan. It is easily accessible from the city and attracts many people every year due to the sand sculpture festival. This festival generally runs from mid-April to mid-July.
Part of the beach is privately owned, but changing rooms and showers are available for a small fee. The public beach path leading through the dunes and meadows is beautifully maintained. For a pleasant walk in the sun, walk along the Rainbow Bridge over the Shuang River. The best time to visit Fulong Beach is during the summer months of June, July and August.
9. Radhagar Beach, Havelock Island, India
Radhagar Beach is a beach located in the secluded Andaman Islands and is visited by many visitors attracted by its captivating beauty. It is famous for the fact that when the sun sets over the horizon, the entire surrounding area is filled with a deep, warm golden light.
It looks as if the sand and water are shining on their own and the coconut trees are swaying with joy. Be sure to go to the beach at sunset. During the day, you can enjoy the vast, unspoiled sandy beach, emerald blue waves, and calm waves. It seems natural that this place is popular with newlyweds. For a true beach experience, take a rickshaw or motorbike straight to the beach. If you visit from April to June, you can enjoy pleasant, warm weather.
10. Sokcho Beach, South Korea
Sokcho, which embraces Seoraksan Mountain, which is loved by hikers all year round for its colorful appearance in each season, is also a popular beach destination. Every year, when the opening date is July 1st, many people flock from all over the country to feel the beginning of summer vacation. It takes about 2 hours by bus from Seoul, so you can go on a beach vacation without any burden.
It's quiet in June, but a completely different world unfolds in July and August, so you'll need to get an umbrella early. Since you're at the beach, eating fresh raw fish is a must! If you want to spend some time alone, take a fishing boat to Jodo Island. You can enjoy quiet contemplation while fishing here. Be sure to wake up early and enjoy the sunrise in Sokcho.
