We all love to spend a casual evening watching the sunset on a breathtaking beach. The cool, salty breeze that kisses our hair gently, getting sun-kissed while enjoying a nice iced tea, is the best way to relax your troubled mind. A beach is always a perfect destination for a couple, for a daydreamer, for a poet or a writer, and even for a family.

Most of the time beaches are very crowded places, especially when it comes to vacations. There are billionaires who own private beaches. Even the beachside hotels own private beaches to add value to their hotel. But then again, everyone cannot own a beach, and everyone cannot spend their weekend in a luxury beach hotel. But there are plenty of unique and beautiful beaches that you can spend with your family or lovely partner or your friends.
