Does freezing winter weather have you planning your next getaway to some tropical destination? TripAdvisor is here to help with the winners of their Traveler’s Choice Awards for the Best Beaches of 2025.
- Every year the travel planning site comes out with a list of the top beaches in the world, and a list of the best ones here in the U.S.
- They’re chosen based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings for the beaches from real travelers who’ve been there.
- This year’s list includes beaches on six continents and in 50 countries.
- So, what’s the best beach in the country for 2025? Siesta Beach in Siesta Key, Florida, is number one.
- People love it for the clear water, powder sand and the weather there is best in April and May, then again in September and October.
- Hawaii dominates this year’s U.S. ranking, claiming five of the top 10 spots.
- Topping the list of the best beaches in the world is Elafonissi Beach in Crete, Greece, which is known for its pink sand shores and crystal-clear water.
