Photos of Unique Beaches All Over the World

If you thought all beaches were the same, think again. Sure, they all share a couple of common components—say, water and some type of shoreline—but the variables are enough to make your head spin.

In this gallery, we'll explore some of the most uniquely breathtaking beaches the world has to offer. From the Bahamas to Wisconsin—yes, Wisconsin—these remarkable landscapes are picture-perfect.
