Photo © Maria Theofanopoulou The Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards are based on the quality and quantity of reviews and ratings from Tripadvisor travelers for beaches, gathered over a 12-month period. New for 2021, the Best of the Best – Beaches also takes into account the volume of “saves” for beaches on Tripadvisor, reflecting the position that many travelers were in for much of 2020 — unable to travel, desperate to explore, lusting after the beaches they wished they could visit. For 2021, Australia’s Whitehaven Beach takes the top spot amongst global travelers. In addition, Spiaggia dei Conigli in Lampedusa, Sicily was announced best in Europe.
