I love going on holiday to the beach. Here are some beaches that I think you should go to. Since I live in Asia all of my beaches on this list are in Asia. I have not been to any of these beaches but I really want to.
8. Mui Ne Beach, Vietnam
For those who love the heady contrast of excitement and relaxation, Mui Ne Beach is right up your alley. With strong winds, big waves, and clear skies, Mui Ne is ideal for wind-surfing, kite-surfing and all sorts of physical activities. Still not enough? Mui Ne has some dramatic and unusual scenery: giant sand dunes, like a piece of desert next to the sea, and perfect for dune-trekking.
7. Haad Rin Beach, Koh Phangan, Thailand
For a once-in-a-lifetime experience, few places can beat the hedonism of Koh Phangan's infamous Full Moon parties. There are quieter, just-as-pretty beaches, perfect for taking it easy the next day.
6. Koh Rong, Cambodia
6. Koh Rong, Cambodia
Idyllic and picturesque, this island off the coast of Sihanoukville is an unspoiled tropical paradise. With over 40 kilometres of white sand beaches and turquoise-green waters, Koh Rong offers the simple pleasures of relaxing with a cold beer and freshly-caught seafood. Most developments are very new, so get there before everyone else does!
5. Sipadan, Malaysia
5. Sipadan, Malaysia
Possibly one of the best dive sites in the world, Sipadan's lush and healthy coral reefs support thriving populations of sea turtles and reef sharks. Especially around Barracuda Point, divers can swim among huge schools of fish. However, conservation regulations mean that only 120 diving permits are allowed every day, so do book your dives early. Otherwise, there's first-rate snorkeling, and pleasant strolls along the sands to spot friendly monitor lizards.
4.White Beach, Boracay, Philippines
There's a good reason why Boracay, developed as it is, still makes it on this list. Boracay's White Beach is simply stunning, with extraordinarily pure powder sands that extend forever into shallow azure waters. From water sports and diving, to spas and shopping, there's something for everybody. Laze on lounge chairs while sipping cocktails, watch the sunset with dining on great food, and join in the raucous, rocking nightlife for a classic beach holiday.
3. Goa, India
Where to begin with Goa's spectacularly scenic and amazingly diverse beaches? Depending on where you go, Goa has everything from adrenaline to adventure, solitude to sunbathing. Our picks are Mandrem Beach for honeymooners, Agonda Beach for relaxing, Baga Beach for parties, nightlife and fantastic seafood, and of course, the former hippie enclave of Anjuna Beach, for its famed trance music and colourful flea markets.
2. Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
Featured in the movie "The Beach", the Phi Phi Islands are the jewel in Thailand's island crown. Even with all the hype, you'll be hard-pressed not to be impressed with the glittering turquoise waters and sheer cliffs. Take it easy and wind down… Phi Phi Don, the largest and only inhabited island, doesn't even have roads!
1. Palawan, Philippines
Get away from it all at the Bacuit Archipelago in Palawan. A short distance away from El Nido in Palawan, its 45 enchanting islands are riddled with karst cliffs, limestone formations, and gorgeous lagoons. This is beachcomber paradise; charter a boat and go island-hopping!
