I’m longing to beaches like these on Cook Islands: long quiet beaches with palm trees, golden sand and clear blue water.

My favourite beach so far, Lalaria Beach on the Greek island Skiathos, has white pebbles and limestone and is only approachable by boat because of the high cliffs on both sides of the beach. Aside from the beaches on Cook Island, I’d love to see the beaches on Australia, New Zealand, Bali and North America’s west coast.
