The Blue Lagoon on the small island of Comino, Malta, is famous for its clear, shallow waters that have an almost unreal blue hue. This beach feels like a natural swimming pool and is great for families, as the waters are calm and shallow.
It’s a popular day-trip destination for visitors from Malta and Gozo. The Blue Lagoon is surrounded by rocky cliffs, and the water clarity is perfect for snorkeling or simply relaxing in the sun.
From a beach in Western Australia made from shells 10 metres deep to tropical shell-strewn beaches in Cambodia and Costa Rica, beachcombers are sure to find something precious on these bountiful shorelines
