#6. Baia Dos Porcos, Brazil

Also called Pig Island, this beach is one of the most stunning in the world. You can admire the two iconic rock formations of the "dois Irmaos" (the two brothers). This beach must be earned as you get there by trekking and your days are limited on the island (which charges for each day). Water sports are prohibited, so the environment is particularly calm. Located 300 km from the Brazilian coast, the island is a true paradise accessible by plane from Natal or Recife. For more information: here (in Portuguese)
