I had never been a fan of animals when I was younger. I was always afraid of dogs; cats never made sense to me, and monkeys always had unpleasant stories of their encounters with people around me. However, my dislike for them gradually turned into fondness as I grew up, and while I still don’t have a pet of my own, I would never let go of an opportunity to see them or pet them. While its not always possible to pet all animals, one can definitely watch them enjoy their natural habitat. What if I told you that there were animals whose natural habitat was a beach, just like all of us?
If you are also someone who would give anything to watch animals enjoy a little sun tan on the beach with you, here is a list of all the beaches across countries that can give you this one-of-a kind experience.
Bérchida beach, Italy
The Italian islands in the Mediterranean are worth visiting for a variety of reasons. The food and culture are unmatched, and the environment is breathtaking. These locations’ timeless beauty is preserved in inexplicable ways by the persistence of many of its long-standing customs. The white cows, however, are a major draw for tourists to this beach. These cows, called Mucca’s in Italian, occupy this virgin area twice a year. They are frequently spotted grazing on the grasslands near the beach and are the herds of local farmers. It seems that they, like us, require a vacation! With the white, glittering beach and the glistening blue ocean, few things are more exquisite than this. It makes sense that these cows also take a holiday here!
Nassau, Bahamas
Located in Nassau, Bahamas, Flamingo Cay is a charming retreat that provides guests with a special fusion of leisure and exploration. This tropical paradise, well-known for its breathtaking beaches and abundant animals, is the perfect place for people who want to get away from the daily grind. A variety of pink flamingos and other exotic birds can be seen on the island, making it an enthralling sight for both nature enthusiasts and photographers. Visitors can stroll slowly along the soft sands, explore the stunning, pristine surroundings, or just relax and enjoy the sun in a peaceful setting.
West Beach, Esperance, Australia
The dolphin pods are most active during the warm summer days, and they may be seen surfing the waves at nearby beaches like West Beach.
From Poison Creek in Cape Arid National Park east of Esperance to Fanny Cove west of Esperance, you can see these guys from most other beaches as well. Esperance’s advantage is that the shoreline begins almost exactly in the middle of the city. The 38-kilometer Great Ocean Drive loop winds through some of Australia’s most breathtaking coastal landscapes. These protected bays and beaches are all perfect places for the migratory whales to rest.
Sumba, Indonesia
There is a little-known location that is a secret haven for equestrian and wilderness enthusiasts. It provides an uncommon sense of calm, an adventurous spirit, and the assurance that your path will be filled with significance. A robust poppy breed is essential to the locals’ way of life on the arid plains of Sumba, a secluded island in Indonesia’s eastern archipelago.
Horses play a significant part in the authenticity, culture, and ancestral customs of Sumba, a big, neglected island in Indonesia that is about an hour’s flight from Bali.
These little, hardy horses, often called sandalwood ponies, are more than simply workhorses; they are status symbols, cultural icons, and a growing attraction for travelers hoping to take in the island’s unspoiled scenery and customs.
Phi Phi Islands, Thailand
Monkey Beach on the coast of Phi Phi Islands is popular for the colony of monkeys that reside on the beach. The monkeys of the monkey beach live in the secret cove of Ao Ling (Monkey Bay), northwest of Loh Dalam Bay, and are not afraid to climb on the legs of their guests in pursuit of a banana. It must be mentioned that speed boats stop here multiple times a day, drop off scores of tourists who feed all the monkeys, and then depart right away. The monkeys are calmly waiting as the traffic never stops. In order to obtain the valuable bananas, they do not hesitate to venture into the ocean. Although we did not experience any specific issues, we did read that these creatures can be angry and aggressive if approached.
Boulders beach, Cape Town
The name Boulders Beach comes from the fact that it is a protected beach composed of inlets between granite boulders. It is situated in Simon’s Town, in the Western Cape province of South Africa, on the Cape Peninsula. Another name for it is Boulders Bay. Due to the establishment of an African penguin colony there in 1982, it is a well-liked tourist destination. Table Mountain National Park includes Boulders Beach. Right now, these penguins are at risk of extinction. Therefore, the Cape Nature Conservation is responsible for protecting the penguins.
Therefore, it is one of the few locations where this endangered species (Spheniscus demersus) can be seen up close, straying freely in a protected natural setting, despite being placed in a residential area.
