2. 몰디브 (THE MALDIVES)

The 26 atolls that make up the Maldives sit in the Indian Ocean about 400km southwest of the tip of the subcontinent. Abundant reef wildlife (including whale sharks) + incredibly clear waters bring in a lot of tourists.

Along the southern coast of the peninsula of the same name,

Bodrum has an ancient history and was the site of one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World

4. 카요 코코 (CAYO COCO, CUBA)

A resort island on Cuba’s north coast, Cayo Coco is linked to the mainland by a 27km causeway.

The adjacent reef and clear waters have earned international recognition as a diving destination.

 

 

5. CALA MACARELLETA, MENORCA, SPAIN

At the south end of the Mediterranean island of Menorca,

the beach at Cala Macarelleta can only be reached on foot or by boat ?

probably one of the least-crowded beaches you’ll find in Spain and perfect if like to take a swim alone.

 

 

6. 토수아 오션 트렌치 (TO SUA OCEAN TRENCH, SAMOA)

To Sua Ocean Trench is a clear water pool located in Lotofaga village.

To Sua means ‘big hole’ and has been converted into a large swimming area.

A ladder is installed on side for visitors to access this 30 meters deep pool.

 

 

7. 크레이터 호 (CRATER LAKE, OREGON)

Visibility in Crater Lake has been measured at 43.3m ?

among the highest in the world.

There is only one access point down to the lake ?

a steep, mile-long trail.

It is easy enough to get down but the climb back can be tiring.

So best decide if it’s worth the swim before venturing down.

 

 

8. BAK BAK BEACH, BORNEO

This unique beach is made up of mostly stone and you can find some interesting sea life here.

 

9. 구채구 (JIUZHAIGOU VALLEY, SICHUAN, CHINA)

In the north of Sichuan province, the Jiuzhaigou Valley is a national park, nature reserve,

and UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition to several crystal-clear lakes,

it’s a region of multi-tiered waterfalls and snowy mountains.

Tourism arrived late but is growing strong, and while swimming isn’t allowed…

there’s always nighttime skinny dipping.

 

 

10. 사바 (SABAH, MALAYSIA)

Another one from the remote Malaysian state,

which covers the northern portion of Borneo and is ringed by reef-rich islands.

This photo was taken near Semporna,

which is a hub for people who come to dive Malaysian Borneo.

 

 

11. 제니 호 (JENNY LAKE, WYOMING)

Jenny Lake sits right below the peak of Grand Teton and is a landmark for many hiking trails,

backcountry trails, and climbing routes.

its waters are still considered pristine.

 

 

12. 리오 수크리 (RIO SUCURI, BRAZIL)

Located in the Pantanal region of Brazil,

Rio Sucuri is a spring-fed river that has some of the measurably clearest water on Earth.

13. CALANQUE DE SORMIOU, FRANCE

Calanques are steep-walled coves,

and there’s a series of them along the 20km stretch of coast between Marseille and Cassis.

Sormiou is one of the largest of these,

and it’s popular for its nearby climbing routes as well as its beach.

 

14. 파나리 섬 (PANARI ISLAND, OKINAWA, JAPAN)

Panari, also called Aragusuku,

is one of the Yaeyama Islands, the most remote area of Japan.

having a number of coral species and marine lives as large as those in the Great Barrier Reef.

(Over 400 types of corals, 5 types of sea turtles, manta rays,

whale sharks and all kinds of tropical fish species all live around Okinawa.)

 

 

15. PUERTO AYORA, GALAPAGOS

The most populous town in the Galapagos still sits right up next to some amazingly clear ocean water.

and other iconic wildlife.
