Fiji beach listed among sexiest


One of Fiji's most popular beaches has been listed in an American travel magazine as among the world's sexiest.

Natadola has been listed by Forbes Traveler as one of the top 25 sexy beaches, alongside world renowed beaches such as Copacabana and Ipanema beaches in Rio de Janeiro, Paradise Beach on Mykonos Island and Tahiti Beach at St Tropez.

The only Australian beach to make the list was Byron Bay.

The US travel special sought out the sexiest spots on the sand around the world based on the beaches that not only had a sexy look and location, but attracted the sexiest people.

Forbes listed other 'party central' beaches such as Ibiza's Playa d'en Bossa among the 25 sexiest, along with secluded spots for lovers such as the hard-to-find Kauapea Beach, on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.

Several entries were from South America, the Caribbean and the South Pacific, but Europe also features with Italy, the Greek Islands, Cyprus, France and Spain rating a mention. Sexy Asian beaches were Lhaviyani Atoll in the Maldives, Phang Nga Bay in Thailand and Sanur Beach in Bali.

Forbes found that there were clearly different kinds of 'sexy' when it came to beaches whether it was the location, the geographical beauty or the 'scene' surrounding a particular beach.

Forbes said picking a favorite spot among the 300-plus islands that comprise the tropical paradise of Fiji was "a little like trying to select which morsel of Godiva chocolate to start with after opening the box".

"Thankfully, Mother Nature has intervened a break in the reef along the southwest curve of the main island at the horseshoe-shaped Natadola Beach makes for some perfect body-surfing."
