Monterosso public beach (Fegina)

By @oasi.media

This is the only real sandy beach in the area, and after exploring the cliffside villages, going for a swim here was perfect. The water was super clear, and it’s right by the train station, so it’s really easy to get to. There are lots of cafés nearby for a quick snack, and the view of the cliffs and pastel-colored houses in the distance made it feel pretty magical.

Address: Via Fegina, 19016 Monterosso al Mare SP, Italy

Also known as La Pleasure Beach, you can enjoy here the ocean views and beach activities like horseback riding and beach sports. It’s a popular destination for both locals and tourists, especially on weekends when live music and performances are common. Be prepared for entrance fees and vendors selling various goods. Always keep an eye on your belongings and be cautious if swimming, as lifeguard coverage can vary.

A beach with chunks of icebergs wash up on shore. If you don't get to see any huge ones, there are plenty of little ones out there that are super pretty. Absolutely love that spot. It is really cool to see the contrast between the ice and then just the sheer black sand.

Reynisfjara Beach

This black volcanic sand beach with basalt rocks is super unique. The waves are pretty dangerous, so be careful.

Playa de San Sebastián

This beach is Barcelona’s longest beach and it has a lovely view of the city. The bottom is deep right away so it’s not very suitable for children.

A true hidden gem in the Bali island Nusa Penida. Unique geological formation with clear and turquoise water.

A black sand beach across from Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon. Icebergs drift out, wash back in, and land on the shore. The ocean polishes the ice so it glitters like diamonds on jet black sand.

Reynisfjara Beach

Reynisfjara is the most famous black volcanic sand beach in Iceland. It has tall basalt columns, unique rock formations, a cave in the cliffs, and the Reynisdrangar sea stacks rising from the sea. The waves are very strong and dangerous, so it is important to stay well back from the water.
