Amazing places in the world for beach lovers
Shark Bay, Australia
Australia is already a country full of magic. It is a popular tourist destination for lovers of nature and adventure tourism. And it is that on this island, which is part of Oceania, it is common to find koalas and kangaroos that will delight visitors. In the western part of Australia is Shark Bay. It is a 10,000 square kilometer bay with a depth of 10 meters and made up of many peninsulas and islands. The coast of Shark Bay reaches an area of 1,500 kilometers.
Shark Bay was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1991. In addition to being a paradisiacal site, it is a place steeped in history. Its name dates from 1699, when the famous English captain, privateer, botanist and writer, William Dampier visited it and was in awe, although the first to visit it was Dirk Hartog in 1616.
This bay is one of the incredible places in the world that you can fall in love with thanks to its large population of sea vaquitas, dolphins, birds and reptiles. Hamelin Pool is one of Shark Bay’s must-see spots, with stromatolites everywhere. It is also essential to visit the Useless Loop Salt Mine, producer of the highest grade of purity salt in the world.
Tavira, Portugal
Very close to Spain is Tavira, in the iconic Portuguese Algarve. And it is that the Portuguese fashion destinations such as Porto or Lisbon and even Madeira itself have nothing to envy to this small and charming town. Tavira has a microclimate and is ideal to visit at any time of the year. Of course, being a very touristy summer site, there is more attendance in the summer season. During the winter you can walk more at your leisure without meeting many people.
The most remarkable (and unforgettable) of Tavira are its beaches. The one on the Ilha is the busiest , it can only be reached by ferry and has a beach bar and services. For a more complete experience (with restaurant and games area) we recommend Praia do Barril, where there is an anchor cemetery. A virgin beach that you must visit is Cacela Velha. First you have to go by car and then rent a small boat that will take you to the other shore, a small dune where you will hardly find people.
Sarakiniko beach, Milos, Greece: among the most amazing places in the world
For beach lovers, nothing like Sarakiniko . You may not have heard of this idyllic beach, since in the Greek country the most famous are those of Santorini or Mykonos. Forget! On the island of Milo (another place to fall in love), is Sarakiniko, to the north of the island and with spectacular views of the Aegean Sea.
The particular characteristic of Sarakiniko and that distinguishes it from the other beaches of the country of the great philosophers, thinkers, gods and mythological heroes, is its lunar appearance. And it is that, as if it were a myth, Sarakiniko is made up of small mounds of white volcanic rock.
As Furnas, A Coruña, Galicia
It is true that these Galician beaches have become famous on two occasions thanks to not too joyful events. The first time, by Ramón Sampedro, one of the forerunners of euthanasia in Spain and whose tragedy was brought to the screen with the film Mar Adentro. Sampedro dived headfirst from one of the stones in As Furnas and was left quadriplegic. Thanks to the Fariña series, As Furnas has also risen to fame as the place where the protagonists met to do business.
Stories aside, As Furnas is a paradise. It is located in the municipality of Porto do Son, in the Galician Rías Baixas. It is a favorite destination for surfers, but also an idyllic place for bathers. And the fact is that the water of these beaches is of an intense blue and, by the entrance of the sea, small islands of sand are formed in which, when the tide is low, you can sit and contemplate the spectacular views.
Incredible places in the world for the most classic tourists
The Highlands, Scotland

It is one of the most incredible places in the world and those who have visited it assure that the Highlands that are capable of taking their breath away. A few hours from Edinburgh (which also has its charm) are the famous Highlands, home to the highest peak in Britain: Ben Nevis.
In the Highlands you can find monuments steeped in history, such as Urquhart Castle, where ancient Scottish clans fought numerous battles. Otherwise it seems enough, in the Highlands is Loch Ness, one of the largest in the world and that will make a great impression on you. And who knows, maybe you will meet the famous monster Nessie. And of course, the Highlands are a mythical land full of ancient Celtic legends and, of course, a lot of magic.
Paris: the French capital is, indisputably, one of the incredible places in the world
In our list of incredible places in the world, the French capital could not be missing. And it is that Paris is a city to fall in love with and, if you are lucky, in which to fall in love. Has it all! If you are a lover of history and culture, and a very urban person, Paris is your place. Not only is it one of the fashion capitals of the world, it is also home to one of the most famous museums in the world. Also, of course its architecture is impressive.
Leaving aside the crowded tourist attractions, in Paris you can take endless walks on the banks of the Seine River or lose yourself in its narrow streets and emblematic parks. Of course, an important point of Paris that will end up conquering you completely (if you doubted it) is its gastronomy, specifically, its pastries. Home of macarons and the famous crème brûlée . And the pain au chocolat ! And of course, Paris is also the setting for countless romantic movies.
Tuscany, Italy
All of Italy is liable to make its visitors fall in love. Rome, with its iconic monuments and delicious food. Naples, with its pizza. Milan, Sicily, Positano and a long etcetera. And, how could it be otherwise, Tuscany is a mandatory stop. Dream of many, who has not yearned, at some time in his life, to acquire a mythical Tuscan villa?
Tuscany is a very large region and it would take you several days to explore. If you like cities, Florence and Pisa are just some of the ones you will find along the way. But we want to enter the Tuscan countryside and its idyllic medieval villages. Best of all, the inhabitants know the weakness of tourists for the countryside, so it will not be difficult for you to find accommodation in one of the many rural houses that are rented to visitors.
