Praia da Falesia, located in Olhos de Agua, Portugal, took the sixth spot in the list and was one of only two European beaches to make the cut.

One TripAdvisor reviewer wrote of the beach: “Gorgeous red sand cliffs lead to the green-blue ocean and a white sand beach that seemingly stretches forever.”

The beach that took the top spot was Baia do Sancho - Fernando de Noronha, Brazil followed by Eagle Beach – Aruba with Cable Beach - Broome, Western Australia taking third position.
