Best of the best: Phi Phi Leh, Thailand.


A beach for all seasons - Paul Edwards looks at some of the world's favourites.
Travel means different things to different people, but for most it inevitably means at least one visit to a beach.
Some beaches such as those in Normandy have enormous historical significance. Some are remarkable for their thousands of naked bodies. Others are the haunt of the rich and famous while some for example, Brighton in England don't even have sand.
Beaches mean relaxing holidays; art galleries, cathedrals and regional cuisine imply serious cultural travel. A neat mix of the two is the start of a perfect itinerary.
The choice of best beaches is purely subjective so we've narrowed them down to some of the most famous ones.
