One million visitors a year make the journey west from Parksville on Highway 4 (Pacific Rim Highway) to experience the romantic isolation of the Pacific Rim and Long Beach region. And it’s not surprising that Long Beach is the most popular beach in Canada with almost 200 million views on TikTok! Other Canadian beaches on the list are Wasaga Beach in Ontario which is the longest freshwater beach in the world and Wreck Beach which completes the top 10 around the world!

As summer approaches, beach getaways are on many minds, and most will start planning their dream beach escape!

Methodology:

Betway Casino’s study analyzed the popularity of beaches around the world based on a combination of three factors: Google searches, Instagram posts, and TikTok views. The study used data from the past year to identify the beaches that were most popular with travelers. The beaches were then ranked on a scale of 1 to 100, with the most popular beaches receiving the highest scores.

All data is correct as of 12.4.2024
