This guide brings together 19 beaches that all start with the letter Y, running alphabetically from “Yyteri Beach” to “Yarinacocha Beach.” They span sandy shores, tropical bays, lakeside spots, and rugged surf coastlines across more than a dozen countries. People visit these beaches to swim, surf, snorkel, relax in the sun, and enjoy scenic walks by the water.
Beaches are stretches of sand, pebbles, or rocks where land meets the sea, a lake, or another body of water. Many double as social hubs, where families gather, surfers chase waves, and travelers watch the sunset. Yong Beach on Jeju Island, for example, gets its dramatic dark shoreline from ancient volcanic activity.
