Millions of Russian citizens travel to the sea every year. There are many options for a beach holiday, as they say, for every budget and taste. But for the rest to bring positive emotions, first of all, it is necessary that both the water and the beach are clean.
Swimming in dirty or just muddy water and sunbathing on an insufficiently clean beach is a very dubious pleasure. Not to mention, it can be detrimental to health. Where are the cleanest beaches with clean water?
Which European countries have many clean beaches
A great option for a beach holiday is Greece, especially its islands Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Kos. There are many different beaches - sandy, pebbly, rocky, both with a gentle entry into the water and with a rapid increase in depth. Greece is washed by several seas - the Aegean, Cretan, Libyan, Ionian, which are part of the vast Mediterranean Sea. On most of its coastline, the water is quite clean and transparent, and many beaches have been awarded the honorary international award - the Blue Flag. This means that the water in the beach area is completely safe for swimming in terms of cleanliness and hygiene standards.
There are especially many such beaches on the islands of Crete and Rhodes.
There are many good beaches with clear water also in Spain, Italy, Croatia.
For lovers of budget vacations, Turkey can serve as a good option. Many sandy beaches in such famous resorts as Alanya, Belek, Side meet the most stringent hygiene requirements. Pebble beaches in the region of the Kemer resort are also good.
Clean beaches in exotic countries
Fans of exotic countries will love the beaches of Cuba, Dominican Republic, Maldives.
Even the most demanding of cleanliness will appreciate the magnificent beach of Varadero resort on the northern coast of Cuba. The crystal clear, light turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the wide strip of white fine coral sand make a stunning impression.
Fortunately, the recent large-scale accident at an oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico has had little or no impact on the resort's water and beach cleanliness.
The beaches in the Dominican Republic, on the island of Haiti, neighboring Cuba, are also very good.
In the Indian Ocean, the beaches of the Maldives and the islands of Mauritius enjoy deservedly high marks. Well, fans of India can be advised to go not to North Goa, which is popular with many Russians, but to South Goa, where both the beach and the water are cleaner. In addition, there are fewer tourists and therefore it is quieter and more peaceful.
People wishing to visit the distant Philippine Islands should pay attention to Boracay Island in the central part of this archipelago. Its main attraction is the famous White Beach, considered one of the cleanest in the world.
