androokery Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 It's funny how everyone is applying their own definition of what constitutes the "best" beach. It seems to be connected to how pristine and natural the beach is. That's not the definition by which US News ranked the beaches: Quote What makes a great beach all depends on the traveler. Some prefer wide, open beaches with throngs of things to do and people to watch, while others prefer deserted shorelines with calm waters. U.S. News took this and factors, such as unique scenery, beach quality and overall accessibility, into consideration to determine the world's best beaches. Want to put in your two cents? Cast your vote below for next year's ranking. Also, I agree that this is mainly a marketing ploy and calling it "fake news" is just silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Would someone please tell her this in no achievement , the beaches used to be "natural wonders" Total lack of taking any care of them have turned them into cesspits even now with all the money Phuket puts into the state coffers no real plans even to stop sewerage & fat being allowed to spill into the sea..Myanmar beaches on their west coast will be the next paradise beaches 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magazine says that Phuket continues to win accolades from major international media for its white sands, aquamarine waters and limestone cliffs that attract millions of travellers every year.

Popular Post LivinginKata Posted August 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2018 "#2 in Best Beaches in the World Trust us, you're going to want to go the extra miles for a vacation on Phuket's captivating beaches. That's because this Thai island is home to natural wonders, such as Patong, Karon and Kamala beaches. These beautiful shorelines lead to striking teal water, which you can explore on a long-tail boat." Patong Beach .......??? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waikiki beach was also man made by importing sand from elsewhere. Last year, my neighbour made a beach for the neighbourhood kids to play in and he is the lifeguard when they are playing, even has a water section. It was a lot cheaper than the one in Waikiki and Phuket to produce and it is wonderful to behold and no danger of anybody drowning or being endangered by pollution. It is renowned and known by locals as the world's Number 1 safe beach. It is a SANDBOX in his backyard. The actual water section is his homemade outdoor swimming pool.

I'd guess that Australia 'is' the best beach (according to their criteria): the longest, least spoilt, and least crowded. Only negative point are the occasional saltwater crocs and sharks. ?
