World’s most incredible man-made beaches
In recent years, the demand for pristine sandy shores and crystal clear waters has led to the creation of man made beaches around the world. Can you believe it? However, these artificial beaches do offer an alternative to natural coastlines that have managed to become popular destinations across the world for tourists seeking a unique beach experience.
So, here we bring to you a few of the best man-made beaches from across the world.
Palm Jumeirah, Dubai
You will find the famous man-made beaches on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai that is known for pushing the boundaries of architectural marvels and making the impossible possible. This artificial island is shaped like a palm tree, features luxurious resorts and private villas with direct access to the stunning, yet artificial beaches. The Palm Jumeirah has redefined the concept of coastal living, providing visitors with an exclusive and lavish experience.
Sentosa Island, Singapore
Covering 1,235 acres, Sentosa Island is a massive resort built by humans. Along its southern coast, there are three sheltered beaches, extending over a mile and featuring sand imported from Indonesia and Malaysia. Additionally, Sentosa Island also features prominent attractions, such as Resorts World Sentosa, Universal Studios Singapore, and numerous other entertainment options.
Larvotto Beach, Monaco
As the sole public beach in Monaco and conveniently situated just a short stroll from Monte Carlo, Larvotto Beach was created to enhance the city’s existing waterfront. The beach, adorned with lively restaurants, shops, and cafes, features artificial sand, which can be somewhat pebbly, prompting beachgoers to consider wearing sturdy shoes. Additionally, children can make use of the playground activities, bike rides, and trampoline fun.
Sunny Beach, Shanghai, China
In the warmer months, this urban beach situated along the South Bund-side stretch of the Huangpu River in Shanghai (the only beach in downtown Shanghai) provides nothing more than sand and a few dozen lounge chairs. However, the splendid view of Shanghai’s Pudong district makes the experience entirely worthwhile.
Artificial Beach, Male, Maldives
While the Maldives is renowned for its immaculate beaches, where sun-seekers revel in powdery-soft sand and crystal-clear waters adorned with luxurious overwater bungalows, the capital city of Male was devoid of a natural beach until the creation of an artificial one. Situated on the east coast, this artificial beach has become a favoured venue for hosting sports events, parades, carnivals, and live music shows.
