Top 10 Longest Beaches in the World... Photos below..
For many people, beaches are the ultimate place to be during their well deserved holidays. Whether one prefers beaches for long romantic walks in the evening, relaxing tanning hours during a sunny day or just for all sorts of sporting activities, the beach is worldwide known as the most defining symbol for vacations.

The good news is that beaches are not rare at all. Most bodies of water feature beaches. But not all beaches are alike. They can consist of pebbles, shingle, gravel and most importantly sand. Sandy beaches are the most common form of beach and typically occur by the sea or ocean (though sandy lake beaches are also anything but rare). The sandy beaches are unsurprisingly the most popular type of beaches and the preferred destination for sea tourists.

But beaches also differ greatly in size. They can be relatively small hidden spots, but also impressively long areas stretching tens of tens of kilometers/miles. Usually, it is along those long beaches where tourism booms most. Hotels, restaurants, bars, shops, etc. all long to be located near the beaches.

The following ranking will show you where on our planet you can find the longest beaches in the world.

Padre Island Beach is the second longest beach in the world. At the same time, it is also the longest beach in the United States of America. The beach marks the coast of Padre Island, a thin island just off the Texan mainland. It stretches from the seaside part of Corpus Christi, Texas all the way down to the Brazos Santiago Pass, almost reaching the U.S.-Mexican border. The beach hence reaches an impressive length of 182 km / 113 miles.

3. Ninety Mile Beach, Australia

151 km / 94 miles long

Location: Victoria, Australia
Biggest City by the Beach: Loch Sport

Its name does not give the Ninety Mile Beach in Australia enough credit, because the beach actually even measures 94 miles or 151 km. This makes the beach the longest of the Pacific Ocean. It is located in the Australian state of Victoria on the Southeastern coast of the country, east of Melbourne and south of three of Australia’s biggest national parks (Yarra Ranges National Park, Snowy River National Park & Kosciuszko National Park). You can find several small seaside towns right at the beach.

6. Ninety Mile Beach, New Zealand

88 km / 55 miles

Location: Northland, New Zealand
Biggest City by the Beach: Ahipara

You are not seeing double, there actually is another Ninety Mile Beach. Unlike, the Australian version, the New Zealander beach does not actually deserve the name though, as it is “only” 55 miles long. The beach was likely named by a confusion of the metric with the imperial system, as the beach does have a length of almost 90 kilometers (88 to be exact). This is still an impressive length for the beach which is located in New Zealand’s Northernmost Northland state.

7. Playa Novillero, Mexico

Playa Novillero in the Mexican state of Nayarit
82 km / 51 miles

Location: Nayarit, Mexico
Biggest City by the Beach: Playa Novillero

Playa Novillero (“Novillero Beach”) is the seventh longest beach in the world.

8. Virginia Beach, USA

56 km / 35 miles

Location: Virginia & North Carolina, USA
Biggest City by the Beach: Virginia Beach

Another beach in the USA is part of the 10 longest beaches in the world. Virginia Beach is also known as the longest pleasure beaches anywhere on the planet.

9. Long Beach, USA

Long Beach in the Long Beach Peninsula of the U.S. state of Washington

Unlike the other American beaches in this ranking, Long Beach does not feature a big tourism infrastructure and has largely remained natural with only a few small towns settling by the beach.
