Florida beach is recognized as one of the best in the world: Tripadvisor version
Tripadvisor has released its annual list of the best beaches in the country and the world, and two Florida beaches have made it to the list. The list is based on the analysis of Tripadvisor reviews over the past year.
Three of the best beaches are located in Europe, displacing the ever-popular Caribbean islands from these places – a sign that some travelers are looking to change the typical resort vacation to the coasts of Portugal, Italy, and other countries, experts say. This was reported by fox35orlando.com.
"It's hard for me to be calm when it comes to the beaches where my favorite memories are. And I'm not alone: last year, Tripadvisor received millions of beach reviews – it's clear that our community loves beaches. But as our Travellers' Choice lists show, there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all beach day: our top 25 winners span just 18 countries across five continents," said Sarah Firshein, Tripadvisor's editorial director.
The No. 1 beach in the world is Praia da Falesia in Portugal, and the best beach in the United States is Kaanapali Beach in Hawaii.
Siesta Beach in Florida was ranked No. 9 in the world and No. 2 in the United States. Hollywood Beach in South Florida was also recognized as the fourth-best beach in the United States.
According to Tripadvisor, both beaches are suitable for families who want to soak up the sun and get a tan. The best time to visit Siesta Beach is in the fall, where you can get lower hotel prices. The best time to visit Hollywood Beach is from December to April.
