25 of the World's Most Beautiful Beaches

14. Marinha Beach, Lagoa, Portugal

The moment you arrive here, your jaw will drop. Marinha Beach, located in southern Portugal's Algarve region, has a difficult-to-reach location alongside limestone cliffs. To get to the beach, take a long staircase down to the water's edge. Though this means Marinha Beach isn't suitable for visitors with mobility issues, its remote location helps to prevent overcrowding, allowing you to take plenty of photos without being obstructed. Soak up some rays on the sand before heading out to snorkel in the clear water. Bring your own equipment because rentals are not available on-site.
