Zanibar - East coast for the best beaches
Best beaches on the world - this must come very close. This is a coral island so there is a coral reef surrounding the island, and a large area on the shore side of the reef that gives these turquoise blue shallows. It really is that colour - there has been no manipulation of these pictures. Probably the most pictureesque beaches ar eon the East coast around Paje. The name says it all - Paradise Beach Bungalows ($50 a night for double) is a Japanese run place with comfortable bungalows - so you get this beach AND sushi.

The food here is good Japanese home cooking with the standard burgers etc as well. They even have beach volleyball - Japanese net height!
