The beaches were selected due to their natural beauty and surrounding scenery, lack of adjacent development and sea/sand quality.
There’s something for everyone, including a Robinson Crusoe experience (Perhentian Islands), honey-mooning (Lakshadweep Islands) and sunbathing until 9 in the evening in the Land of the Midnight Sun (Turku Islands, Finland).
“In a recent poll, readers indicated that some of their biggest complaints when taking a beach-focused holiday were beaches that were packed out with people” said editor, Michelle Smith, “the beaches in our article may be considered to be just-this-minute-discovered beaches yet reasonably close to towns to provide good hotel accommodation”.
