Obviously there are more than ten beaches in the world. And I really couldn't just leave it at the ten from my first article. So here are ten more beaches worth checking out.
10. Bunes Beach, Lofoten, Norway
I can't not mention Norway on one of these lists. In my opinion, Norway has some of the most alluring scenery in the world. It's beaches are no different. Bunes beach is completely surrounded by stunning cliffs (it can only be reached by boat) and is great for both hiking, swimming, and camping all wrapped up in one pretty & scenic package. A trip there in the winter is just as worthwhile too.
9. Kaiteriter, Nelson, New Zealand
Graced with golden sand, Kaiteriter is great for kayaking and has splendid views to offer. Based on images I've seen; it's one of those beaches with water clear enough to see through. The landscape is very colorful and woodsy.
8. Portmarnock, Dublin, Ireland
Want some green mixed with your blue? Or maybe you just like golf. Either which way, Portmarnock is the place for you.
7. Destin, Florida, USA
Destin, Florida is another one that made one of these lists of mine if for no other reason than the memories. I went to two beaches in Destin; one was great for shell hunting and looking at dolphins in the distance and the other was great for wave boarding.
6. Cape Zanpa, Okinawa, Japan
This beautiful Asian beach has a nifty statue of what I think is a lion? Idk I thought it was worth mentioning. It also has a cool light house that looks absolutely enthralling during the sunset hours.
5. York, Maine, USA
York, Maine is a quaint town with a quaint beach. The sunsets are very vibrant and the lighthouse is definitely a sight worth seeing.
4. Navagio Beach, Zakynthos, Greece
Navagio beach is practically the epitome of why Greece is said to have the most beautiful beaches. Not only is it home to an array of fascinating arching cliffs, but, stranded on its shore is a rusting old boat. It reminds me of one of those sailor ghost stories.
3. Shell, Perth, Australia
Who needs sand when you can have thousands and thousands of shells! That's what Perth has to offer. The beach is literally made of shells, giving it a very unique and mystifying look.
2. Caves Beach, Negril, Caribbean
Caves Beach has got to be one of my favorites. It legit has a restaurant inside of the cave that overlooks the rolling ocean. On top of that splendid view they've got a pretty romantic wedding venue if you're into that. Its got those white tents and the palm trees with LED lights running up them (which is aesthetic af in my opinion). If I were to have a wedding on a beach, it would be here.
1. Glacier Lagoon, Jokulsarlon, Iceland
And, last but not least, we will step away from the tropical beaches and talk about Glacier Lagoon. The beach is absolutely gorgeous. The way the sunset reflects off of the blocks of ice is truly magnificent. It's a one of a kind sight that I'd dream of viewing in person.
Honorable Mentions;
- Black Sea Beach, Vadu, Romania
- San Juan Island, Washinton, USA
- Acadia National Park, Maine, USA
- Anjuna Beach, Gao, India

The sky turned as dark as the eerie path in an endless cave as I walked briskly up the pathway of my new house. I finally reached the door and the strong, cold wind howled in my ears and tore away the last of autumn's golden leaves. I took a deep breath, opened the door and cautiously stepped inside. I was greeted by a grand entrance hall and the greatest flight of stairs I've ever seen! I decided to take a tour around this magnificent mansion. "Am I dead or am I alive?" I'd whisper, absolutely stunned. I opened the door of my new bedroom. I felt a buzz of excitement erupt in me. There was a portrait that hung over the king size bed. It was of a girl with long, wavy ginger hair. she wore a navy ball gown and her eyes shone like sapphires. I unpacked my bags, got into my PJs and read a chapter of my book.
“You can’t!” I screeched, griping the thick grass beneath my paws.
“The whole forest will belong to the Pack of Shadows!” the dark wolf exclaimed enthusiastically, his fur flickering like shadows, “No wolf will stop us!”
I have to do something! I couldn’t let it end like this! Not with the alpha in this state! Not with the pack split in four!
“Out of my way pup!” he tossed me aside like a tiny mouse.
“No!” I leaped at him, biting and clawing with all my strength.
“This is pointless! You cannot defeat me she-wolf!” I felt him bite me and fling me away again. I was too tired to move now, after traveling this far without resting, I can no longer breathe enough to live.
I’m over; this is the end of the Pack of Ice! I lay winded and defeated, awaiting death’s arrival patiently.
1. Leaving holes in the backstory.
As learned from Marty Chan, the human imagination is not only the most beautiful place in the world, it can also be the most horrific. If a person leaves some space empty (ex: "Tara disappeared after the encounter and was never heard from again....") , your mind will immediately fill it in, your imagination coming up with the most grisly scenario possible....
2. Waiting a REALLY long time for the killer/ monster to show up.
The person becomes bored and even slightly drowsy, which makes them more vulnerable to fear. If the antagonist pops up about halfway through (especially out of nowhere, and at night) they'll jump up as though just awaken from a nightmare. A little humor will definitely help if you're planning on doing this.
