Top Seven Best Beaches Around the World

Everyone loves a little fun in the sun. This summer, change it up a bit by trying out one of these fabulous locations.
Boracay Island, Philippines
Boracay Island is paradise Philippines located off the northwest corner of the island of Panay, and belongs to the Western Visayas island-group, or Region 6, of the Philippines. The island is approximately seven kilometers long, dog-bone shaped with the narrowest spot being less than one kilometer wide, and has a total land area of 10.32 square kilometers.
South-facing Cagban Beach is located across a small strait from the jetty port at Caticlan on Panay island, and the Cagban jetty port serves as Boracay’s main entry and exit point during most of the year. When wind and sea conditions dictate, east-facing Tambisaan Beach serves as an alternative entry and exit point.
Palawan, Philippines
When Chinese explorer Chao Ju-Kua stumbled upon Palawan in 1225, he dubbed the 270-mile-long (435-kilometer-long) island the “land of beautiful harbors” where “lofty ridges and cliffs rise as steeply as the walls of a house.” Today, one of these beautiful harbors-Bacuit Bay-is home to El Nido Resort’s Lagen lodge, an environmentally friendly property situated on a sculpted island inside the bay. The resort’s 18 cottages rest on stilts right next to El Nido’s marine sanctuary, where towering limestone cliffs jut from the shimmering surface and unspoiled coral reefs lie just below it. In a single day, guests can scuba dive, kayak, rock climb, and trek-returning just in time to witness a Gauguin-inspired sunset from their cottage’s private balcony. Rather take it easy? Just spend your day relaxing on the beach. You certainly won’t miss the sunset that way.
The Big Island of Hawaii
Ever dream of the perfect Hawaiian Island vacation? The Big Island of Hawaii is a tropical paradise that offers hundreds of miles of unique coastline, volcanic black, green gemstone and powdery white beaches, incredible Kona Coast oceanfront resorts, lush jungles, obsidian lava fields, humpback whales wintering and a multitude of fun Hawaiian adventures…from thrills to true bliss.

Palawan is the best here,there are many tourist spot in Palawan Philippines, In fact the Tubattaha reef is located in Palawan, the top 2 nominated in new 7 wonders of the world. the marine park.
And the Under ground river, Top 4 in vote ranking. the most longest under ground river in the world.
The are so lots of tourist spot in the Philippines, not only palawan. The boracay is the Top beach in the world. and the chocolate hills from bohol.the top 6 in ranking. and the Mayon volcano, Top 10 in rank. loot at the survey in new 7 world wonders.

Great aricle, thanks to the publisher.
Another evidence that Boracay has indeed crossed the threshold into becoming a regional, if not a global, tourist destination is in its drawing power to reel in local and foreign investments worth billions of pesos, in addition to its natural attraction to tourists both in the country and overseas. Those who stand to benefit from these are, needless to say, the Tirol clan who owned and continues to own much of the original properties on the island and the local populace in and around the island who can look forward to increased employment and livelihood opportunities.

This guy must have to have a contract with Phillipines government or haven’t travel so much. The best beaches are in Hawaii, period.
Please visit Flamenco Beach is considered the second most beautiful beach in the world by Discover Channel. Located at the small island of Culebra, Puerto Rico. The forever “summer” island.
