World’s best beaches revealed... BUT none are Aussie

We like to pride ourselves on being a beach-going nation with some of the best patches of sand in the world.

But it seems we didn’t make the cut this time as Suitcase Magazine releases a list of the top 10 beaches in the world.

And not one Australian beach managed to snag a spot.

Pamalican in the Philippines was crowned the best beach in the world this time around, with other top picks including tropical paradises in Panama, Hawaii, Brazil, and Miami's iconic South Beach.

Surprisingly, even a beach from the UK made the list with Swansea's Rhossili Bay on the Gower Peninsula sneaking in at number 10.

Surely Queensland's Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island should be up there with the best in the world?
