Beaches are stretches of sand, pebbles, or rock that sit along the edge of an ocean, sea, lake, or river. Their color and texture come from the local rock and shells, which is why some look bright white while others, like Iceland’s Reynisfjara, glow deep black. A few of these spots are famous enough to win regular votes as the best beaches in Asia or Europe.
