Some BRICS countries' beaches make it to the top 100 best in the world

Among BRICS countries: Brazil, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia, Egypt, Brazil, India and China

The beach rankings were compiled and published by BeachAtlas, a London-based startup, used an algorithm to shortlist 100 beaches according to six criteria. The evaluation criteria included aspects such as value to the local community, natural uniqueness, diversity, inclusiveness, environmental friendliness and cultural and historical significance.

Boulders Beach (South Africa) was ranked 2nd in the ranking. It is not just a sandy beach, but a bustling metropolis for African penguins.

Copacabana (Rio de Janeiro) also entered the top ten and placed on the 4th place of the rating. The Brazilian beach is included in the ranking because of its combination of authentic lively atmosphere and natural beauty.

Dubai's JBR Beach ranked 8th in the top 10, combining urban energy with coastal serenity. This beach destination offers a host of activities including water sports, camel rides and a lively promenade, making it an ideal destination for those looking for a combination of beachfront tranquillity and urban appeal.

Umluj Beach (Saudi Arabia), located on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern region of Tabuk Province, is an archipelago of 104 islands and is a key aspect of the Red Sea Project, in line with Saudi Vision 2030. Ranked 41st on the list, Umluj Beach was recognised for its tranquil atmosphere, with pristine white sandy beaches. This is reported by Arab News.

India's Baga Beach was ranked 35th and Gokarna Beach was ranked 78th in the Golden Beach Award 2024. Baga is the perfect blend of modern ambience and cultural heritage.

Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt, ranked 69th, has been labelled a paradise for diving enthusiasts and sun seekers. It is renowned for its unparalleled waters, flourishing coral reefs and diverse underwater ecosystem, serving as a gateway to discover the mesmerising marine treasures of the Red Sea.

In the top 100 was also a representative of Russia. Khalaktyrsky Beach in Kamchatka, which the rating compilers called a "hidden gem", was placed 92nd.

Nitin Gadkari

India's Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways

"Our resolution has just been passed. It is very important as far as the BRICS countries are concerned, which cover 40 per cent of the world's population. We are committed to the futuristic development of the transport sector, to create cooperation, coordination and communication between the stakeholders. This resolution indicates a lot of new technology and innovation in the transport sector. It covers the road sector, railways, aviation and water transport"

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation. In industry, we see a major opportunity to increase trade volumes, investment, and cooperation between our two countries. We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries. We will commemorate this important milestone with high-level exchanges, thereby reaffirming our shared commitment to an even stronger partnership for the benefit of our peoples"
