TripAdvisor is back with its annual Travelers’ Choice Awards for 2022: The Best of the Best Beaches – and their top pick for this year is only a hop, skip and a jump away from Florida!
According to TripAdvisor, the best beach in the world for 2022 is Grace Bay Beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands, which is just under a two-hour flight from Miami.
Grace Bay Beach, which came in at number 4 on last year’s awards, is renowned for its calm, shallow waters and enticing offshore reef – and is a fan favorite amongst TripAdvisor reviewers.
“The sand is white, soft, and cool, the crescent shape of the beach surrounding the bay gives you good visual of bay and surrounding land, especially at either end of the bay, and the water is very clear and refreshing,” one TripAdvisor reviewer shared. “We saw a few dolphins fairly close in (within about 200′ of the beach) and a number of varied fish.”
“Believe everything you hear! Just to take a walk on the beach is worth the travel effort!” another reviewer noted. “Crystal clear water, white sugar sand between your toes. It’s truly paradise!”
