Summer may be on its way out, but that doesn’t mean our desire for beach vacations has disappeared. Give us warm weather, white sandy beaches, and crystal blue water, and we’re happy! If gazing out onto a body of water is your idea of tranquility, you need to add these destinations to your bucket list. 

Devil’s Bay, British Virgin Islands

This bay is so gorgeous that it almost feels as though it was created as a deal with the devil himself. If pure turquoise water is what you’re after, Devil’s Bay on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands is the place to head to.

Crater Lake, United States 

Part of what makes Oregon’s Crater Lake so unique is that it fills the cavity of a sunken volcano. Something else which makes it unique is that it has no incoming streams or water. As a result, the lake’s water is as clear as you can get! At a depth of 1,943 feet, it is the deepest lake in the United States and a haven for scuba divers with its deep blue hue.

Five Flower Lake, China

Within the Jiuzhaigou National Park in China’s Sichuan province lies the exquisite Five Flower Lake. So clear is the water that visitors can view the fallen tree trunks which have created a criss-cross pattern on the bottom.
