20 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World

Nungwi Beach, Tanzania

Zanzibar Island is home to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Nungwi Beach. This gorgeous beach runs along the western coast and offers a spectacular sunset view.

Nungwi Beach is known for its blinding white sand, five-star hotels and breathtakingly beautiful water colors. The crystal blue seas are beautifully calm thanks in part to its tip-of-the-island location, where the tide changes are less dramatic than on neighboring islands.

Nungwi is a thriving tourist hotspot with many beach resorts, hotels and restaurants offering plenty of night-time entertainment. Locals are also known to organise sunset cruises on traditional dhow boats, perfect for couples looking to spend their Tanzania beach holiday romantically.
