It’s a popular tourist destination and has been named one of the most beautiful beaches in the world by National Geographic Traveler magazine. Its long history dates back to 1855 when a storm caused erosion that resulted in its crescent shape.

Anse Lazio, Reunion Island

Anse Lazio is a beach on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion. It is named after the shipwreck of the SS France in 1950 and has become a popular tourist destination since then. The beach is known for its white sand and turquoise water, which makes it one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach), Greece

Navagio Beach (also known as Smugglers Cove) is a beach on the Greek island of Zakynthos. It is also one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.

Falkirk Wheel Nature Reserve, Scotland

The Falkirk Wheel is a rotating boat lift that takes boats from the Forth and Clyde Canal over the Union Canal. It’s located in Scotland, and it was built in 2002 as part of a project to reconnect Loch Katrine with its feeder canal system. The Falkirk Wheel is the only rotating boat lift in the world, and it’s been called “one of Scotland’s greatest feats of civil engineering” by former prime minister Gordon Brown.

Lighthouse Beach, Australia’s Gold Coast

Lighthouse Beach is located at the southern end of Surfers Paradise on Australia’s Gold Coast. It’s a popular tourist destination and a great place to relax, swim and play in the water. The beach has an interesting history. It was once home to an old lighthouse that was built in 1887. Today, there are no longer any lighthouses here but you can still see some remnants of them scattered around if you look closely enough.

Galapagos Islands in Ecuador and Kenya (the islands are a Unesco World Heritage Site)

The Galapagos Islands are a Unesco World Heritage Site, and for good reason. The islands are located in Ecuador, made up of 13 main islands and over 100 smaller ones. They’re volcanic in origin, but they’ve been shaped by millions of years’ worth of erosion and tectonic movement and they now contain some breathtaking scenery.

The wildlife is what makes these islands so special there are more than 1,000 plant species here. 2,000 types of birds (including penguins); 1/3rd of all known reptile species; many different kinds of mammals like sea lions or marine iguanas (which look like mini dinosaurs). You’ll find them all here!
