Baby boomers love the beach and the exercise opportunities beach activities provide.
Going to the beach is relaxing. The beautiful water, sandy beaches, blue sky, and the soothing action of the waves draw millions of people a year.
What are the best beaches in the world?
I read dozens of Web sites and blogs and selected what I thought were the best lists of the top 10 beaches.
For my top 10 list, I picked the beaches mentioned most often on these lists. They are:
- Ipanema Beach, Rio de Jariero, Brazil
- Clifton Beach, Cape Town, South Africa
- Pink Sands Beach, Harbor Island, Bahamas
- Poipu Beach, Kauai, Hawaii, U.S.A.
- Paradise Beach, Mykonos, Greece
- South Beach, Miami, Florida, U.S.A.
- Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
- Maroma Beach, Yucatan, Mexico
- Nungwi, Zanzibar, Tanzania
- Whitehaven, Whitsunday Islands, Queensland, Australia
Here are the 10 lists that I selected these 10 beaches from:

Whitehaven is my favorite of them all. I haven’t been there, but judging from the pictures and word of mouth, this is the best beach for me. I plan to go there this 2012.
