The first three
The winner was Grace Bay on the island of Providenciales . It belongs to the islands of Turks and Caicos and is located southeast of the Bahamas. The most popular activities of tourists are diving and snorkeling, mainly due to coral reefs. They are easily accessible directly from the beaches.

The top twenty-five included two European beaches - Elafonissi on the Greek island of Crete and Praia da Marinha in the south of Portugal .
The sun is dangerous everywhere
Regardless of whether your destination will be one of the award winning beaches or any other seaside resort, you should keep in mind the basic advice on staying at sea.
Sun protection. Sunscreens with a sufficiently high protective factor are the basic equipment. Keep in mind that you need to delete it continuously. Even in seemingly unnecessary places, such as ears or instep. At the time of the greatest heat around noon do not prevent umbrellas, wide hats and long loose sleeves. It protects the body from the strongest rays of the sun, preventing both burning and sunburn.
Drinking mode. Even if you spend most of your time in the water, do not forget to feed enough fluids. A two-liter bottle should be the basis. But if you're going to be on the beach, you'll need more fluids. The water can be supplemented with, for example, sports (ionic) beverages. In the sun, avoid drinking alcohol because it speeds up the dehydration of the body. Nausea, which could cause excessive drinking, can cause considerable detriment to the drained organism. Alcohol also slows down reactions, and swimming may be very dangerous.
With medication carefully
If you take regular medication, remember that some may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. If you have to take the medication for yourself over the day, think about keeping it properly - it should not be in direct sunlight . A small handy first-aid kit with water-repellent patches, disinfection for small wounds from the sea or drops in the ears and eyes for more sensitive individuals may also be useful.
Not only health protection
Of course, high-quality travel insurance , especially if you are traveling to more remote areas, should be on the way to the sea. In case of health problems and necessary transport, you could leave your holidays without insurance very costly. Properly set insurance performance limits or supplementary insurance taking into account your holiday program will give you peace of mind - the insurance company will take care of you in the event of problems.
