There are so many beautiful beaches on the nearly 1200 islands of this nation that they could qualify for all top 10 positions. The pure white powder sand and cyan-blue water of these beaches can be found in very few places on earth. Some of the best diving and snorkelling in the world can be found here with a vast variety of marine life on display.
