Which is one of the longest sea beach in world?

 There have been several contenders for the longest sea beach in the world.

1. The longest beach was said to be the one stretching from Adale in Somalia to the Horn of Africa, with a length of over 700 km. But this does not seem to be a long continuous sandy beach. It is a long coastline with rocky cliffs, et, in between.

2. The area containing Terence Bay in Namibia was often thought to be the second longest beach, stretching to 480 km. It is also known as the Skeleton Coast. But there seems to be no verified continuous beach in Namibia that extends to such a long stretch uninterruptedly.

3. The third position is often awarded to the Eucla beach in Australia. It is believed to be 280 km long. But the officially verified uninterrupted single stretch of that beach seems to be only 41.5 km.

So Praia do Cassino beach of Brazil, stretching 254 km or 158 miles from the Rio Grande to the border of Uruguay, seems to be the winner in the competition. It has an uninterrupted sandy beach extending to 254 km. It has also been considered the world's longest sandy beach by the Guinness Book of World Records after examining all other claims.

9 Beaches In India You Need To Visit

When we think of beaches, we only think of Goa. Agreed, it has some of the prettiest beaches in the country, but there are more that you don't know about. They are well maintained and too gorgeous to be true. Except that they're true.

1. Bangaram Island Beach, Lakshwadeep 

Silver sand, turquoise water and vast stretches of coconut trees. Really, what else can one ask for? And since many tourists don't visit the Lakshwadeep Islands, you can expect cleanliness. Tourists enter this place on helicopters during the monsoon and try their hand at various under-water sports. The best thing to know about this beach is that it is considered one of the top 10 secret beaches in India.

2. Radhanagar beach, Andaman and Nicobar Islands

Located on Havelock Island and popularly known as Beach No. 7, this beach was listed as Asia's best beach in 2004 by Time magazine. It is without a doubt one of the most peaceful beaches in India. The never ending white sand and clear water make this beach nothing short of paradise.

3. Cola Beach, Goa

The sweet fresh water lagoon makes this one of the most breathtaking beaches in Goa. It is completely unperturbed. Go here for the sun and the sea.

4. Mahe Beach, Puducherry 

If you want to go to a secluded beach then this is perfect for you. It hasn't been discovered by tourists yet and one gets to enjoy a rare untouched beauty that other beaches lack. Walking over the warm sand alongside fishermen hamlets is a thrilling experience. This beach is surrounded by a wooden string of palm trees and is about 22 kms from Kunnur.

5. Mandrem Beach, Goa 

Situated in North Goa with only a very small village inhabiting it, this beach is perfect for honeymooners. There will be no shortage of privacy at all. It is unbelievably clean, with pleasing views on the side. If you wish to sunbathe or simply sleep in the sun, this is your best bet.

6. Muzhappilangad Drive-in Beach, Kerala

You can enjoy a long drive on this beach. Isn't that great news already? Additionally, this beach is ideal for swimmers as the presence of black rocks prevents deep currents from the sea. You can enjoy adventure sports such as power boating and catamaran rides as well.

7. Yarada Beach, Andhra Pradesh 

If you happen to visit Vizag then you cannot skip this beach. It is lesser known and a place where you can enjoy a good time with your entire family. To reach the beach, you need to cross the Dolphin Hill. Just so you know, the view of the beach from the hill is to die for. There are not many food hawkers or shacks here so it's a good idea to carry your own food.

8. Ganpatipule beach, Maharashtra 

Some tourists believe that this is the best beach on the Konkan coast. The white sand along with blue-green water makes the entire vibe pleasing enough. Sadly, the beach lacks public amenities. The sunset should not be missed here and if you have the time, definitely enjoy a ride on a water scooter.

9. Tarkarli beach, Maharashtra 

Tarkali Beach is located in the Sindhugarg district of Maharashtra, a small village blessed with attractive surroundings. The beach is located at the junction of the Karli River and the Arabian Sea. It is ideal for a romantic getaway. On a good day, you can see clear water about 20 feet under the bed. In the background lie the Shuru trees, beautiful sailboats and the wide river, making every moment simply perfect.
