Sandbanks Beach

This Beach Was Named the World's Most Sustainable Beach

"Its designation as Tripadvisor's number-one sustainable beach reflects why it's so popular: a family-friendly spot with soft, golden sand, clear water, and incredible views, holding a 4.5 bubble rating from nearly 1,900 reviews. Even during peak season there's plenty of space; visitors can try water sports, go horseback riding, or bring their dog (with some seasonal restrictions). There are plenty of food options, from beachside cafés to nearby restaurants, and parking is a breeze." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.
