This page brings together 12 beaches that start with the letter Z, running alphabetically from “Zlatni Rat” to “Zonza Beach.” They stretch across seas and oceans on several continents, from quiet coves to wide stretches of golden sand. People come to these shores to swim, surf, sunbathe, and simply relax by the water.

Beaches are stretches of sand, pebbles, or shingle where the land meets a sea, ocean, or lake. Many of them carry their own stories, like Zicatela’s famous “Mexican Pipeline,” a wave so powerful it draws expert surfers from around the world. Each one offers its own mix of scenery, culture, and ways to spend a day outdoors.
