Rabbit Beach, in Sicily, is a great example as it is often proclaimed the best beach in the world. It was officially awarded the title by TripAdvisor in 2013 and though it doesn't win every year, the beach is consistently voted by the website's users as one of the best beaches in the world. Visitors say that it is “hard to believe you are not somewhere tropical”. Located on the island of Lampedusa, next to the tiny Isola dei Conigli (or “Rabbit Island”), Rabbit Beach is set in the Mediterranean Sea and paints an exceptionally beautiful picture with the white sands being lapped by the azure water.
