TripAdvisor reveals its top beaches
TripAdvisor has named its top beaches that travellers should visit in 2018, with Grace Bay in Providenciales, Turks and Caico, coming out as this year’s must-visit location.
The travel advice website holds its Travelers’ Choice awards every year, where it uses input from users of its site to determine the best locations for travellers to visit. Baia do Sancho, Brazil and Varadero Beach, Cuba, came second and third in the list respectively.
The awards also recommend the top 25 beaches in different regions. La Concha Beach in Spain was crowned the best in Europe and was the only beach from the continent to make it into the global top 10, while Clearwater Beach in Florida, US topped the list for the best US beaches.
For nine of the top 10 beaches, travellers were told that the locations were good to go to ‘all year round’, while the rankings also took into consideration the places that travellers could stay while visiting the beaches, and the amenities.
“Soft sand, clear waters and balmy temperatures are common threads among these Travelers' Choice award-winning beaches that have delighted millions of TripAdvisor reviewers across the globe,” said Brooke Ferencsik, Senior Director of Communications for TripAdvisor. “The Caribbean and Florida stake claims as the most decorated on the world and US lists respectively, and based on TripAdvisor price reports, travellers can still find outstanding value on warm weather escapes to these popular beaches this year.”
