Q1 via christinahegele: Where's the world's best beach? Why that one?

• freakytravel: Binalong Bay/Bay of Fires! Un-freaking-believable
• travelettes: The beach at ko pha ngan in thailand. i love beach parties and there they have the best ones
• OysterWorldwide: One of our fave beaches is in Zanzibar. It's just so peaceful and relaxing
• kymri: Every beach, every inch of every coastline, is the world's best beach. Don't take any for granted
• Inga_Ros: Would love to visit the Maldives someday. Have seen gorgeous beach photos from there
• Xplore724: The Bahamas are really beautiful too if you like lovely white sand beachs and turquoise waters

Q2 via loco2: What is your ultimate beach accessory? Why?

• elleswim: Anything fruity and laced with liquor
• toniwonitravels: My camera...can't stare at photos of the exotic beaches I've been to whilst at work without it
• ContikiLauren: I'd LOVE a personal cabana boy if we're being honest

Q4 via NickHealy: Most over-hyped beach you've ever visited? Why?

• AllyToullec: Pattaya. And the islands around. Disguting beaches with fat Russians and English middle aged men. Found a condom in the see as well
• GFexplorers: Bondi? Am I allowed to say that? Its just a normal beach, right? Do you have to be a surfer to truly appreciate it?!
• directflights1: Waikiki Beach, Honolulu is up there too. Really skinny bit of (imported) sand with big high rise hotels along it
• packDsuitcase: Mykonos... go to Santorini instead
• JauntingKerrs: Secret Kalalau Beach on #NaPali coastline hike. Totally not worth the long trek when best view is before you started
• theridingdutch: Kuta Beach in Bali,,, no doubt about that

Q5 via myislandartjon: What are your top three favorite beaches, why?

• farihanpadilla: So far Gili Trawangan, Lombok. Its the best place to party at night and relax during the day.The other 2 are yet to be discovered
• Ichweisswo:  Zanzibar Paje Beach, Koutsi beach on Andros, Su Giudeu Beach, Sardinia all because of its emptiness & beauty 
  
• hjortur: Three most favorite beaches? Hvesta in Iceland, Cadiz in Spain and the whole south coast of Croatia 
  
• SaraKateTravel: Hard to pick but I love those near Naples, FL... islands near Phuket... & those peaceful & lovely beaches/shores of western Ireland
• kirsten_al: Rose Island, Bahamas / Redondo Beach, Northern California / near Discovery Bay, Jamaica
• LandLopers: HARD question, going to give destinations instead. Bahamas, Outer Banks and Hawaii
