The 7 Most Beautiful Beach Towns In The World (Where You Can Actually Afford To Live)

After two years of travelling full time and visiting over 40 countries, these are the 7 beach towns that completely blew us away — the ones we’d book again in a heartbeat. We’re talking a tiny surf cove in Sri Lanka that feels like a secret, a volcanic island in the Atlantic where cliffs crash into turquoise water, a boho freediving town on the Red Sea that feels like Bali meets the Middle East, and beaches that rival the Maldives without the price tag. If you’re looking for the best beach towns in the world, mid-range accomodation, travel cost, weekly travel budget affordable ones most people haven’t caught onto yet, this is our honest list.

For every single one we break down the best time of year to visit, where to stay, the restaurants and spots you can’t miss, and a full price breakdown in USD — from cheap local meals to accommodation — so you know exactly what a beach holiday in each place actually costs. Whether you’re a surfer, a digital nomad, or just planning your next beach holiday for 2026 and hunting for somewhere cheaper than the Maldives, save this one. Stick around for #7 — it’s one of our favourites. 🏝️
