The best beach in the world

The Christmas holidays are almost upon us, and in our minds many of us have already swapped our desks for the beach.

We asked our Facebook fans where they think the best beach in the world is. Some were close to home, others were so exotic we'd never even heard of them! But all of them had one thing in common, we'd all give our right arm to be relaxing there this very instant!
