Are you dreaming of a beach vacation this summer? Are you craving crystal clear blue waters and pristine white sand? Look no further than Tulum Beach, Mexico - a hidden gem that has been named the destination with the world's whitest sand.
According to colour analysis theory, Tulum Beach is as close as it gets to the purest shade of white - just 1.4 points shy of being the whitest in the world. This stunning beach is located about two hours' drive from Cancún and has been making waves in the travel world.
To determine the top 30 whitest beaches in the world, a new study took unedited Google Map screenshots of 200 beaches and used a colour dropper tool to find the RGB code of the sand. These codes were then compared to the purest shade of white, and Tulum Beach came out on top.
But it's not just about the sand - the sparkling blue waters of Tulum Beach are equally breathtaking. And if you're not up for a long journey, there are other stunning beaches on the list, including Anse Source D'Argent in the Seychelles and Marmari Beach in Greece.
Europe also has some impressive representation on the list, with destinations in Greece, Italy, Spain, and France all scoring high. In fact, Spanish beaches dominate the top 30, with six of them making the list.
But what makes Tulum Beach so special? Visitors rave about its "absolutely perfect" coastline, with pure white sand and no sargassum (seaweed). It's no wonder that many tourists highly recommend this beach as a must-visit destination.
If you're planning a trip to Tulum Beach, there's no shortage of things to do. History buffs can explore the Tulum Archaeological Site, which offers a glimpse into the area's rich Mayan culture. And for those seeking adventure, there are snorkeling and diving opportunities at Cenotes Dos Ojos and Gran Cenote, where you can see stunning rock formations and crystal blue waters.
But if all you want to do is relax and soak up the sun, Tulum Beach has plenty of options for that too. Akumal Beach, Playa Paraiso, and Ziggy Beach are all great choices. Just remember to pack your sunscreen!
Getting to Tulum Beach may not be as budget-friendly as traveling within Europe, but if you plan ahead, you can score a good deal. Flights to Cancún Airport from London can be found for around £584 on airlines like British Airways, American, and TUI Airways. The flight takes about 10.5 hours direct.
For those traveling from Manchester, the journey may be a bit longer, but the effort is worth it for the beautiful white sand beaches that await. The best time to visit Tulum Beach is in May when the average temperature is a warm 28C. But if you prefer slightly cooler temperatures, January is a good option, while September may not be the best time to avoid rain.
So if you're in need of some beach inspiration this summer, look no further than the world's top 10 whitest sands, according to CV Villas. Tulum Beach, Anse Source D'Argent, and Marmari Beach are just a few of the stunning destinations that made the list. Do you have a story to share about your travels? We'd love to hear from you!
