1. PK9-Beach

    Nine kilometers from the nearest village and about as far from a beach bar as you can get, PK9 is a strip of palm-fringed sand inside a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve that genuinely looks like a screensaver. The water stays calm and lagoon-clear, and the snorkeling is the real draw, with stingrays and tropical fish close enough to feel rude. Ranked among the World's 50 Best Beaches, and honestly, it earns it.
