The softness of the sand, the blast of the sun, the crashing of the cool sea. Yeah, that's all great, but let's be honest: The true allure of the beach is the sight of beautiful toned women in bikinis (or less, if you're lucky).
For the man who travels to admire the beauty of the barely-dressed female form, certain shorelines are notorious for providing just that -- by the thousands. Of course, the beaches themselves are also gorgeous and packed with visitor-friendly amenities. However, in each of the 10 locales that made this list, the physical specimens outshine the natural beauty.
No.10 - Englishman's Bay, Tobago West Coast, Trinidad and Tobago
A downside to those travel guides that reveal secret secluded beach spots, hidden away from the maddening crowds, is that they help the maddening crowds eventually find out about them. Englishman's Bay, a stretch of sand surrounded by palm jungles, is still unfamiliar enough to be pleasant. For this reason, it's cherished by the beach elite, and it boasts some very hot beach bodies. Englishman's Bay provides a great getaway from other overcrowded Tobago beaches without sacrificing the, um, landscape.
What not to miss: A trek through the jungle is great for gazing at the tropical wildlife.
No.9 - St-Tropez, Cte d'Azur, France
Immortalized by French '60s muse Brigitte Bardot, St. Tropez remains the mecca for the rich and fabulous of the Mediterranean. You'll be blown away by the glimmering yachts and the babes therein who spend fortunes (rarely their own) to look the way they do. Like much of Europe, some beaches in St-Tropez have a carefree clothing-optional attitude, but be warned: There's no necessary correlation between nudism and beautiful people.
What not to miss: Plage de Tahiti is a secluded beach notorious for its hedonism. If you must see hot nude babes, this is where to go.
No.8 - Manly Beach, Sydney, Australia
A pleasant ferry ride across the Sydney harbor lands you in Manly, a name that can't possibly be accidental. After all, this is where Oz's men go to admire the lovely creatures of the opposite sex. Manly attracts playful types because it's known as a playful spot. Surfing and parasailing are practically mandatory activities, and the Corso, a pleasant dining area, is only a hop away.
What not to miss: Sign up for a few surfing lessons at the Manly Surf School. Who knows what honeys might be among your classmates?
No.7 - Matira Beach, Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Hidden in the middle of a lagoon and bound by coral reef, Bora Bora is a place of almost make-believe beauty. It's known as one of the best vacation islands in the South Pacific, so it lures young people from all over the world. In spite of its popularity, Bora Bora remains the ideal getaway for the lazy beach lounger, since the atmosphere is calm and unpretentious.
What not to miss: The shark-feeding expedition, a Bora Bora staple.
No.5 - Ka'anapali Beach, Maui, Hawaii
Ka'anapali is truly a postcard paradise; it is three miles long and boasts the best water activities in Hawaii. Lots of hotels line the shore but they're not overwhelming; there is still a sense of relative seclusion. Back in the day, this beach was a royal retreat for the rulers of Maui, so it's no wonder that it attracts people who feel -- and look -- a little regal themselves.
What not to miss: Snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters.
No.4 - South Beach, Miami
You know you've hit South Beach when even the rollerbladers are wearing thongs. South Beach is both the focal point of America's beautiful and a favorite getaway for the cinema's icons of sexiness. The athletically-inclined can play volleyball on the beach la Tom Cruise in Top Gun , the lushes will find haven in the nearby bars and the spendthrifts can blow cash on the pricey boutiques. It's paradise for the bon vivant .
What not to miss: The Skybar at the famed Shore Club Hotel is approaching legendary status. It's known as Miami's single best place to spot shockingly-hot supermodels.
No.3 - Playa del Carmen, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Playa del Carmen is one of Mexico's most popular beaches, drawing attractive people from all over the world, but it remains friendly and unhurried. The sands are snowy-white with straw parasols; the sea is a brilliant topaz. There are plenty of fine restaurants around and the myriad dive shops offer everything you need for a good snorkel. And it's close to Cancn, should you hanker for some rowdy nightlife.
What not to miss: A boat trip to Cozumel, where you can go swimming with dolphins.
No.2 - Playa d'en Bosa, Ibiza, Spain
The world capital of hedonism is Spain's legendary Ibiza island. Many already know about its all-night parties, sex-charged atmosphere and complete lack of a dress code. So it shouldn't be surprising that its beaches are peppered with cute party girls eager to show their lovely curves off to the party boys. Playa d'en Bosa is the most popular strip of sand on the island, boasting no fewer than 50 bars to abet your inner libertine.
What not to miss: The Bora Bora bar is Playa d'en Bosa's most popular and the place for a guaranteed pick-up.
No.1 - Ipanema Beach, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
You heard it in the song: They're tall and tanned and young and lovely. All of them. Flanked by peaks that jut from the land, Ipanema has become synonymous with thong bikinis and perfectly toned bodies. Bathers can grab some coconut water or a glass of caipirinha , the national cocktail, at a drink cabana or simply wait for a walking vendor to bring one. A bustling neighborhood full of bars, clubs and shopping awaits just across the street.
What not to miss: Jumping into the sea from the Arpoador, a rock formation that separates Ipanema from its famous sister beach, Copacabana.
