This list brings together 21 beaches that start with the letter L, from “La Concha Beach” to “Luskentyre Beach.” They span tropical lagoons, dramatic cliffs, lively city shores, and remote stretches of pale sand across the globe. People visit them to swim, surf, snorkel, watch wildlife, or simply relax by the water and enjoy the view.

Beaches are stretches of sand, pebbles, or shingle where land meets the sea, a lake, or a river. They have shaped human life for centuries, serving as fishing grounds, trade harbors, and gathering places long before they became popular spots for rest and recreation. Today many are loved as much for their natural beauty as for the towns and culture that surround them.
