RELATED:<\/strong> Cruise itineraries that are absolutelyout of this world<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Trunk

Trunk Bay, USVI<\/p><\/div>\n

Trunk Bay, U.S. Virgin Islands<\/h3>\n

You know that ideal, postcard-perfect beach? That\u2019s basically Trunk Bay. The Mecca of Caribbean beaches, USVI<\/a>‘s Trunk Bay delivers pearly white sand and aquamarine waters. And for those who aren\u2019t content sunbathing, there\u2019s the Underwater Trail \u2013 a snorkeling path of coral and fish.\u00a0Get there with Princess<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Lopes

Lopes Mendes, Brazil<\/p><\/div>\n

Lopes Mendes, Brazil<\/h3>\n

Close to Rio<\/a> (and yet a world apart), Ilha Grande is Brazil\u2019s laid-back paradise. No cars,no banks, but plenty of beaches. The best one? Hands down Lopes Mendes. Accessible only by boat or a short hike, Lopes Mendes is a two-mile-long stretch of fine-grain sand and turquoise waters.\u00a0Get there with Norwegian<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Walvis

Walvis Bay, Namibia<\/p><\/div>\n

Walvis Bay, Namibia<\/h3>\n

Warning: This beach is not for the faint of heart. Positioned on Namibia<\/a>\u2019s eerie (but oh-so-beautiful) Skeleton Coast, Walvis Bay (pronounced vahl-fis bay) is both dramatic and picturesque. Massive sand dunes rise up directly from the beach, and there\u2019s a lot of wildlife on display, include flamingoes, seals, whales and even hyenas.\u00a0Get there with Cunard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Champagne

Champagne Beach | Flickr CC: Simon_sees<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

Champagne Beach, Vanuatu<\/h3>\n

Looking for a beach where you can get away from it all? Head to Champagne Beach\u2014a stretch of pristine, palm-fringed sand on Espiritu Santo Island in Vanuatu<\/a>. Hailed as one of the best in the South Pacific, this beloved beach gets its name from underwater springs that send effervescent bubbles to the water\u2019s surface.\u00a0Get there with Royal Caribbean<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Horseshoe

Horseshoe Bay, Bermuda<\/p><\/div>\n

Horseshoe Bay,Bermuda<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard about Bermuda<\/a>\u2019s gorgeous pink-sand beaches (if you haven\u2019t, they\u2019re incredible) and Horseshoe Bay is no exception. It\u2019s a wide expanse of blush-colored sand lined by clear blue water. Because it\u2019s beautiful, it\u2019s also super popular, though a few equally-scenic spots are easily within walking distance.\u00a0Get there with Carnival<\/a>.<\/p>\n
