When people mention beaches, the typical picture that comes to mind would be one with golden sand and turquoise waters. However, you can say goodbye to these boring beaches when you visit the Muriwai black sand beach in New Zealand! The stunning black sand was formed as a result of the high iron content from a volcanic eruption years ago, creating a stark contrast to the crystal clear waters. This beach is definitely one that we all have to visit at least once in our lives!
You can choose to stay at the Vineyard Cottages which is a stone’s throw away from the Muriwai beach, and costs only RM 556 a night after the 6% cashback from ShopBack!
4. Hidden Beach – Marieta Islands, Mexico

In the Marieta Islands of Mexico, this idyllic beach paradise lies hidden under a huge cavernous shell. Although it has become less ‘hidden’ over the years as more travellers get to know of this secluded beach, it still remains one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It has been rumoured that this beach was formed in the early 1900s during a bombing practice by the Mexican government — how cool is that?
To feast your eyes upon this natural wonder, stay at The Westin Resort & Spa Puerto Vallarta for only RM 763 a night after 6% cashback!
5. Glass Beach – California, USA

Imagine an entire beach filled with thousands of sparkling gems — that is exactly the sight that you will be greeted with when you choose to head down to the Glass Beach in Fort Bragg, California. The abundance of iridescent sea glass is a result of the years of dumping garbage — who knew garbage could be so pretty, right?
You can stay at the homely Atrium Bed and Breakfast at only RM 567 a night after cashback. Go ahead and book your trip early to avoid disappointment!
6. Pink Sands Beach – The Bahamas![pink sands beach The Bahamas]()

Sure, you’ve now heard of black sand — but what about pink sand? This unique pink sand beach on Harbour Island is a result of thousands of broken coral shells and calcium carbonate residues from Foraminifera, which are tiny marine invertebrates. The clear seawater makes the island a perfect location for diving, fishing and snorkelling, and the array of restaurants on the island offer the finest seafood that you can ever ask for. Remember to bring your appetite along when you visit the Bahamas!
For comfortable lodging, turn to the Coral Sands Hotel — live like royalty at only RM 1310 a night after 6% cashback via ShopBack!
