10 unfamiliar islands to explore -Part 2-

6 Papua New Guinea 
The spectacular, steamy and wild landscapes of Papua New Guinea are home to over 190 species of mammals, 650 species of birds, 160 varieties of frogs, and they speak 820 languages. This is simply one of the wildest places, the richest in biodiversity and the most unique in the world. Some ethnic groups live in the Highlands (Papua Wigmen Tari). Do not ignore the coast as far as the reef slopes at dizzying plunge just meters from beautiful beaches depths. Dive sites and snorkeling among the most extraordinary ...

The few roads are in poor condition, transportation is a challenge. Domestic flights and organized tours are the easiest solution. Check the security at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs before leaving.

7 Cape Verde 
A former Portuguese colony, near the West African and Latin ambiance evoking Brazil, the islands of Cape Verde are unclassifiable. Also difficult to locate on a map, as it is located some 500 km off the coast of Senegal, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Ten in number, they range from striped island of lava Fogo Santo Antao and lush valleys. But the best beaches are those of Boa Vista, an almost entirely sandy island similar to that of the Sahara dunes undulate inside, while a beautiful white sand stretches to the horizon on the windy shores, which attract surfers, windsurfers and kitesufeurs.





8 Granada 
It might just come in this lovely "spice island" of the Caribbean, take up residence in Grand Anse (with a range of 3 km) and let live: the sand is fine, the beach bars are animated, restaurants well stocked with fish, seafood and ice nutmeg. It would be a shame, because the mountainous interior of the island of Wind reserve amount of pools and waterfalls where cool, and the coast of numerous creeks and coves ideal for swimming and snorkeling in peace. To the north, the island of Carriacou, which is reached by ferry, is even more isolated. Its pristine beaches are accessible only by hiking or sailing. African culture, including music - percussion and rhythms of calypso ennivrants - is still very abundant.

9 Curious and Aldabra, Seychelles 
No "list of the most beautiful beaches in the world" omits the Seychelles. This archipelago of 115 islands scattered in the Indian Ocean has it all: abundant coral and fish in crystal clear waters; a deliciously soft sand underfoot; wild and lush hinterland; even coconut sea and famous coco de mer are attractive ... The three main islands (Praslin, La Digue and Mahe) are perfectly beautiful. Yet the curious island and its giant tortoises, is perhaps even more, not to mention the coral atoll of Aldabra. Uninhabited, it is the home of the largest population of giant tortoises in the world, but also the green turtles, sharks, coconut crabs and many other species.





10 St. Vincent-Grenadines etles
Calculate your budget well, choose a boat. These are the keys to discover this beautiful chain of islands located in the southeast Caribbean. If you have deep pockets, go private yacht in the beautiful vast green to beautiful St. Vincent Grenadines, small in size, big in charm. Those who do not have the means to make a nabob of hops by ferry. Join people with luggage and poultry ranging from St. Vincent in lively waterfront Bequia, Canouan of fine sand, the rugged Union Island and Mayreau languid; there, the Tobago Cays deserts (where have failed one Jack Sparrow) are emerging nicely to the east.
