Members TampaYankee Posted January 17, 2011 Members Posted January 17, 2011 Top 5 Sexiest Beaches in the World by Annemarie Dooling Posted Jan 17th 2011 09:27 AM Sometimes a beach vacation is about relaxing and getting away from it all. Other times, however, you just need a trip to the ocean to check out the amazing people that inhabit it. When you're fiending for a little something exotic, and you're ready to pack up and fly away, there's only thing to do: take a trip to these 5 sexiest beaches in the world. Sexiest Beaches in the World #1: Ipanema, Rio There's a reason crooners love to take on the song, 'The Girl from Ipanema.' With bronzed skin, large smiles and dangerous curves, the women and men of Ipanema seem almost other worldly. For some prime people-watching, take a spot on the beach; you won't want for anything as the kiosks roll around selling bathing suits, sandwiches and suntan lotion. Try not to stare at the women of all shapes and sizes sporting 'fio dental,' dental floss bikinis, and men wearing the tiniest speedos that make this one of the sexiest beaches in the world. Sexiest Beaches in the World #2: Ibiza, Spain Though Ibiza's history is filled with relaxed vacationing by flower children, today it remains one of the biggest party destinations in the world. You can find clubs on every corner in Ibiza, and scantily clad partygoers everywhere - and all this on a beautiful beach. In the summer months, particularly July and August, when the heat is at its highest, you can find attractive young things running around in bathing suits, or even topless, 'til sunrise in the morning. Sexiest Beaches in the World #3: Venice Beach, California If you're looking for a sexy beach destination in the United States, there's no where better than the Golden State. From daisy duke shorts to health fans exercising in bathing suits, you'll find some of the most attractive Americans across the country all in this one spot. With surfing, skateboarding and other athletic activities across the boardwalk, beautiful healthy people flock here. Sexiest Beaches in the World #4: Manly Beach, Sydney This ultimate sexy beach has a sexy name and lives up to it! Though there are dozens of gorgeous beaches lining the Gold Coast of Australia, Manly is popular among the athletic set and high-class vacationers. Besides stunning views, soothing sands and blue waters, you can spy the very best of Sydney taking a weekend break here, as it's just 30 minutes from the city's main ferry terminal. Sexiest Beaches in the World #5: Santorini, Greece There's just something about Santorini that makes otherwise normal people go wild. This topless beach might be the most quiet on our list of sexy beaches, but it doesn't lack in intensity. With white and blue buildings all around you, perched on hills, and crystal clear water below, the seclusion and serenity of Santorini is the perfect place for honeymooners, travelers and even locals to lay back, take their tops off and get some rays.

Members TampaYankee Posted January 17, 2011 Author Members Posted January 17, 2011 Are these the top 5 beach areas for gays as well? (I use areas because I recognize that gay beaches may be collocated nearby and not the same stretch of sand.)I found Venice a suprise in this list. Just ignorant that it would be so high in the running, being an east coaster. Quote
Guest EXPAT Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 It looks like those selections would be the top 5 in a Muscle magazine. Venice Beach is hardly a romantic beach, but it is a muscle beach. There are many more beautiful beaches out here in SoCal (like the one five minutes from my house!!) Quote
Guest FourAces Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I have only been to Venice Beach from the list so I cannot comment on the others. But if you want a real sexy beach in SoCal I suggest Huntington Beach or Wind & Sea. Both will fill any gay mans appetite for people watching. Quote
Guest CharliePS Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 The name "Manly Beach" is wonderfully suggestive, but I found it more of a family place. Unlike many beaches, however, it is a good one for walking and watching even though you are fully dressed. Quote
