Famous Beaches in the World

For most people, a summer vacation is synonymous with one thing--the beach. Whether you want to indulge in adventure sports, lie down lazily sunbathing, take a pleasant walk along the sea shore, or just admire the stunning natural beauty, beaches provide a wide range of options to unwind.


The perfect beach is more than just sand and waves, although these two, the clarity of the water and the quality of the sand, are the most important factors, the landscape around the beach must be beautiful along with them. Also the sea must be swimmable, there are some beaches I have felt are pretty bad just because there are lots of rocks and uneven hard surface which makes it impossible to swim. 

With these factors taken into mind, I have listed down some of the best beaches in the world, in a random order. Most of the top beaches in the following list have plenty of restaurants and bars to hang out. 

If your favorite beach is not in our list, please write a comment.

How to Reach Akihabara

Akihabara Station is a busy station served by the JR Yamanote Line, JR Keihin-Tohoku Line, JR Sobu Line, the Tsukuba Express and the Hibiya Subway Line. Suehirocho Station on the Ginza Subway Line is located around the northern end of the district.

From Tokyo Station:
Akihabara is two stations north of Tokyo Station by JR Yamanote or Keihin-Tohoku Line. The trip takes about three minutes and costs 130 yen. During weekday daytime, the Keihin-Tohoku Line skips the station between Tokyo and Akihabara, which shaves off a few more seconds from the travel time.

From Shinjuku Station:
Take the JR Chuo Line (orange colored rapid service) from Shinjuku to Ochanomizu Station (10 minutes) and make a quick and easy transfer to the JR Sobu Line (yellow colored local service) for one more station to Akihabara (2 minutes). Alternatively, take a yellow colored train without transfer all the way from Shinjuku to Akihabara (17 minutes). The one way fare is 160 yen in either case.

Travel Japan:Breakfast in Japan

A traditional Japanese breakfast is based on rice, seafood, and fermented foods. The breakfast is often consists of steamed rice, miso soup, boiled fish, sometime grilled fish, tamagoyaki (rolled frozen omlet which includes shrimps, sea weeds etc or served plain), onsen tamago, nori (dried seaweed), natto, grilled chicken skin with sauce, grilled octopus, some fish/chicken pieces with cover of flour and obviously raw fishes. It is common in Japan houses to include leftover items from the last evening's dinner in the next day's breakfast. Western breakfast foods such as toast and boiled or fried eggs and cereals are also becoming popular. 

So if your tongue does not suit Japanese foods, you have countless options of Western foods in Japan. There are McDonalds in Japan in almost every 15-20minutes drive and McDonalds is very popular among Japanese. 

But here I am concentrating on the typical Japanese food.
