Koh Phi Phi (Thailand)

These idyllic islands near Phuket were the scene of the enchanting scenes from the movie The Beach. Vertical rock faces rise right out of the water hiding tiny coves, caves, and tiny beaches of legends.

Mystic Beach (Japan)

The white beach that only appears at low tide. Yurigahama Beach has “hoshinosuna (star sand)” which is the shell of foraminifera in the sand.

Yalong Bay (Hainan, China)

At the same latitude as Hawaii, Hainan is where mainland Chinese come to get that Waikiki feeling without leaving home. Near Sanya on Hainan’s southern tip, may lack Polynesia’s heaving surf and swaying skirts, its broad white beaches are better than many in Hawaii.

Not a place to come if you want to party, though, since the only excitement occurs [...]

Mui Ne Beach (Phan Thiet, Vietnam)

Just a few hours from Saigon, Phan Thiet is the latest getaway in Vietnam. Oceanside development is in full swing here, and there are some great boutique resorts along the stunning white sands of Mui Ne Beach. The seafood here is good, and the town itself is an interesting little fishing port.

Mae Nam (Koh Samui, Thailand)

Koh Samui’s east coast strands are almost too well known. Head up to the north coast to snoozy Mae Nam, where the sands may be narrower, but you’re not sharing them with the crowds. The water is clear and calm, the palm trees shady.
