When most of us think about the beach, we think about a sandy, warm, relaxing and serene destination that is fit for a vacation postcard. Not all beaches in the world are like this, however.
Beaches are formed where the ocean or another large body of water meets land, and can be either sandy, rocky, or grassy, and they are found around the world both in warm and cool climates.
Beaches do have a certain scenic, relaxing feeling to them regardless of where they are located, and they also make for great destinations for photographers looking to capture the idyllic moment:
