National Geographic reveals best coastal destinations by Cheap Flights Booker UK

The Avalon peninsula in Newfoundland and Labrador on Canada"s Atlantic coast has been voted the best coastal area in an annual survey by National Geographic Traveler magazine.

A panel of 340 experts in sustainable tourism and destination stewardship were asked to rate different locations using criteria such as environmental quality, social and cultural integrity, the condition of historic sites, aesthetic appeal and outlook for the future.

Canada"s Avalon peninsula was recognised for its "rugged shore" and ranked ahead of the Tutukaka coast in Northland, New Zealand and Pembrokeshire in Wales, which received equal scores.

The Chilean fjords also appeared in the top ten along with the Na Pali coast in Kauai, Hawaii and Oman"s Batinah coast.

Travellers planning a trip to Western Australia can visit Broome, which made it into the "top rated" section of the list on the strength of its "ethnically diverse population and spectacular beaches", while those heading to Italy can explore Cinque Terre, a collection of five towns overlooking the Ligurian Sea on the country"s north-west coast.

Other destinations to score highly in the National Geographic Traveler survey include the stretch of seafront from Inverness to Peterhead in Scotland, Namibia"s Skeleton coast and the Cook Islands.
