Top 10 beach destinations in the world.
Growing up in the North-East part of India, I was always away from the blue ocean. I always wanted to have a long walk on the beach and experience the sunset. My dream came true when I got a job opportunity in Chennai, India, and got my first experience of the mighty Bay of Bengal from the flight. Chennai is one of the most visited beach destinations in south India.
Marina Beach in Chennai, the longest in India and the second longest beach in the world, is a beautiful beach among many others in the country. It was my first time when I walked on the beach and since then I have visited many beautiful beaches around the world. Today I am going to make a list of beaches, you must visit across the globe.
