7 islands with clearest water

Seven isalands everyone must visit to enjoy the clear beach water. You will never forget swimming in these waters.

1. Aitutaki, Cook Islands

The barrier reef that forms the basis of Aitutaki is roughly the shape of an equilateral triangle with sides 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) in length. The southern edge of the triangle is almost totally below the surface of the ocean, and the eastern side is composed of a string of small islands including Mangere, Akaiami, and Tekopua.

2. Cayo Coco island, Cuba

Cayo Coco island is attractive for tourists and the massive coral reef off the north coast attracts divers from around the world.

3. Dog Island(Isla Perro), San Blas, Panama

Isla Perro is beautiful because of the white sand beach, crystal clear water, palm trees and small bar with a volleyball field in front of it. You can even spend the night here in a tent or hammock. But most people come to Isla Perro for snorkeling in and around the shipwreck gunboat that lies around 50 meters in front of the beach, when tide is low you can see it hitting the sea surface.

6. Panari Island, Okinawa, Japan

The beaches in Panari island have a coral reef located just off the shore, so please exercise caution when you’re swimming. On the plus side, this is the perfect place to snorkel or go scuba diving, as many tropical fish can be found in the warm waters. Bring your own snorkeling gear. There are no nearby rental shops.

7. Sabah, Malaysia

Sabah is well known for its unusually large numbers of green and hawksbill turtles which gather there to mate and nest and it is not unusual for a diver to see more than 20 turtles on each dive.
