Time to hit the beach! Where will you go? We took a virtual tour around the world stopping at some of the most picturesque beaches in the world and we brought home some photos to share. We’ll give you the photo and name of the beach grouped together by geographical area. See if you can match the beach to its country. For U.S. beaches also identify the correct state. We think you’ll be amazed by all the beautiful beaches around the world.
All photos used are from Wikipedia unless indicated – In order to not give away the answers to the quiz I could not attribute each photo on this page. I have assigned numbers to each photo and listed the author of the photo if known and I will attempt to properly attribute any photo not in the public domain by that number on the answer key page, Next Month in this Awful Awesome Life (August 2018).
