GREAT
BEACHES CAN BE FOUND all over Earth’s coastal areas. Some are
considered optimal for surfing, while others are preferred for
snorkeling, fishing, or even parasailing, but ask anyone looking to kick
back under an over-sized umbrella on a picture-perfect beach and
they’ll often tell you they require a few key features.
What
are they, you ask? Cold drinks, hot sun, clear (warm) water, and
walkable white sand. Check out this collection of 6 images of some of
the most picturesque white sand beaches on Asia.
Home
to numerous resorts built on the white sand beaches of the islands, the
municipality of El Nido is well known for its flora and fauna. Five
types of forest, 100 species of coral, and 10 threatened species of
birds can be found on the islands and in their waters.
1. El Nido (Palawan, Philippines)
2. Manafaru (Haa Alif Atoll, Maldives)
One
of the northernmost islands of the Maldives, Manafaru is home to the
Beach House resort, comprising 83 villas, half of which are situated
above the water.
2. West Railay Beach (Railay, Thailand)
Known
for the limestone karsts which surround the waters, West Railay Beach
is the usual haunt of those itching for a swim. Long-tail boats can be
hired to transport visitors to nearby Ao Nang.
4. Puka Beach (Boracay, Philippines)
Puka
Beach, which also goes by the name Yapak Beach, earned its name due to
the amount of puka shells that pepper the sand. The unobstructed view
from the beach allows visitors to watch the sunset daily.
5. Maya Bay (Phi Phi Leh, Thailand)
Maya
Bay, popularized by the filming of the movie The Beach, is a bay widely
known for its excellent diving due to the clear waters and white sand
beaches. Palong Bay and Loh Samah are two of the most popular dive
sites.
6. Bai Dai Beach (Phu Quoc, Vietnam)
20km
from Nha Trang, Bai Dai (which translates to "Long Beach") attracts
visitors in droves to enjoy the excellent swimming. Post-swim, tourists
typically visit the nearby restaurants for drinks and fresh seafood.
