4. El Nido, Palawan, Philippines
Shockingly, Palawan remains relentlessly under the radar, despite the fact that it keeps on ranking high. El Nido alone is home to around 50 white sand shorelines—it’s difficult to pick only one—all of which are set around sensational limestone developments and boast the finest and whitest sand you‘ll ever observe. The water is so blindingly blue it makes the Caribbean Sea look murky in correlation.
