Guanacaste Boasts Best Beach in the World!
We’re number 1!
To be a bit more specific, Costa Rica is home to this year’s winner on the annual “50 Best Beaches in the World” list released by EnjoyTravel.com. Epic congratulations go out to the exquisite Reserva Conchal, in Guanacaste, for achieving this amazing honor.
How did it happen that our north Pacific coastal gem should outrank 49 other sandy stretches in far-flung corners of the world? Who decides? According to EnjoyTravel.com, rankings from 1 to 50 are calculated using aggregated scores from previous media results, official Blue Flag locations and contributions from the Big 7 Travel editorial team (see list below).
“This year, you’ll notice a few old-timers alongside a whole host of newcomers, from black sandy shorelines to city beaches to castaway islands,” says the featured online results preamble. “Whether you’re in the market for a secluded sandy stretch or a buzzing beach party, you’re sure to like the look of a fair few of these beaches. Consider this your essential vacation guide.”
