25 of the World's Most Beautiful Beaches

18. Grace Bay Beach, Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands

Grace Bay Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands is a 3-mile-long white sand beach that is incredibly picturesque due to its lack of seaweed and rocks. Furthermore, its proximity to Grace Bay makes it an excellent choice for water activities. While snorkeling around the barrier reef, venture a mile offshore to look for parrot fish, reef sharks, and other marine life. Alternatively, stay close to the shore and swim in the calm, shallow water. Additional water sports (think paddleboarding, kayaking, and sailing) can be enjoyed in the surrounding Princess Alexandra National Park by renting equipment from local outfitter Big Blue Collective.
