6. La Concha Beach, San Sebastian, Spain

It is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe. But unfortunately, the weather is not always perfect, and when it is cloudy the coast looks awful.

5. Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia

The green grass surrounding the beach is lush. But expect the unexpected: you may encounter several "Santa Clauses".

4. Huntington Beach, California, United States

This is one of California's most famous beaches. Your pier is very popular for photos. But depending on the angle used to capture it, it won't be very impressive.

3. Deauville Beach, Normandy, France

This beach is a very popular tourist spot, it looks like it came straight from a French painting. However, the place is not so charming in winter, with all those closed umbrellas.

2. Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres, Mexico

Who didn't want to be sitting in the shade of a palm tree swaying softly in the light breeze? Unfortunately, in reality, finding an unoccupied shadow on the beach is a challenging task.

1. Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, United States

It looks stunning when it is empty and lit at night. However, during the day, it is so crowded that people can hardly breathe, much less spend a pleasant day by the sea.
