Check out these
exotic locales voted as the
top 5.
1. Matira Beach, Bora Bora, Tahitian
Islands
It's not
the soft white sand, the
spectacular sunsets or the
languid tropical breezes
that put Matira Beach on
Bora Bora's southern tip at
the top of our list of the
world's most romantic
beaches. It's the calm,
warm, crystal-clear water --
the perfect playground for
dolphins, ray, vibrant
tropical fish and you!
The island of Bora Bora is
completely encircled by
reefs and smaller islands,
creating a shallow,
protected lagoon that offers
the best swimming and
snorkeling around. For a day
-- or a year -- of pure,
lazy pleasure with your new
spouse, Matira Beach is an
unbeatable choice.
2. Pink Beach, Harbour
Island, Bahamas
No list is
complete without the Bahamas
famous Pink Beach. Wide,
lined with palms, and made
up of fine-grained sand in a
glorious shell-pink, Pink
Beach would be stunning even
without the warm and
welcoming Caribbean lapping
at its edge. Spend a day
there, and we bet you decide
to come back for your first
anniversary -- and maybe
your second and third.
3. Promenade des Anglais,
Nice, France
Picture a
wide promenade lined with
stylish boutiques and cafes
just steps away from the
azure waters of the
Mediterranean. Jaunty blue
and white umbrellas dot what
must be the world's most
chic beach -- the Promenade
des Anglais on the glamorous
French Riviera.
The Promenade des Anglais
offers beautiful sand and
swimming to rival other top
beaches, but with an aura of
pampered sophistication that
can only be found in France.
If you're looking for the
romance of pure delight,
turn your attention to Nice
and the Promenade des
Anglais.
4. Green Sand Beach, Hawaii,
USA
White-sand
beaches aren't common.
Pink-sand beaches are
downright unusual. But only
on the geological wonderland
that is the Big Island of
Hawaii can you find the
rarest of them all -- a
beach made of deep green
crystals. The sand is formed
almost entirely of olivine,
a crystal found in the
nearby volcano. The beach is
tiny and offers wading more
than swimming. And
considering you have to hike
three miles to get there,
the Green Sand beach is
romance you have to earn.
But don't be discouraged.
The memory of standing with
your new spouse, watching
the blue waters of the
Pacific pound glowing green
sand, will fill your dreams
for a lifetime.
5. South Beach, Florida, USA
If your
idea of romance is good,
clean fun, South Beach in
Miami, Florida, is for you.
Sherbert-colored Art Deco
buildings vie with the warm
turquoise water of the
Caribbean for your
attention. Whether you spend
the day walking along the
shoreline hand in hand or
sipping iced coffee in
cheerful cafes, South Beach
is sure to make you realize
that being part of a couple
makes every experience
double the fun.
