The first one in my mind is Borakay, and its in the Phillippines, its an Island and it has the most popular Beach in that Country but there are more that I discovered Online and the best place to travel and take photographs are:

1. The Drake Passage, South America to Antarctica

Photo: Jad Davenport This 500-mile strait separating the southern tip of South America and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica, is at the whim of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which carries a volume of water 600 times larger than the Amazon. The result can be powerful weather that can lead to menacing, 50-foot waves—fun if you want to photograph fierce storms. "Bring a circular polarizer and a lenshood, even if it’s not sunny. It can protect the camera from rain and spray. " —Photographer Jad Davenport

2. The Neck, The Falkland IslandsPhoto: Copyright © 2014 Mary LoosemoreTo reach this privately owned, mile-long isthmus on Saunders Island requires a flight from Stanley in a Britten-Norman Islander, an overnight stay with the Pole-Evans family, and a 12-mile, hour-long ride down a rutted, muddy, jeep track. But the wild ride is worth it: The Neck is a melting pot for King, Gentoo, Rockhopper, and Magellanic penguins.

3. Torres del Paine, ChilePhoto: Ian Plant This 935-square-mile park averages 150,000 visitors per year, which is to say there’s plenty of wide-open space to capture the natural drama: wild weather, intimidating peaks that stretch like fingers to the sky, eerie blue-iced glaciers, and the turquoise water of the Rio Baker. Bring your warmest layers—the weather can change in an instant.

4. Lake Clark, AlaskaPhoto: Brian Adams Photograph grizzlies from a boat in this 2.47 million-acre wilderness as they fish from the shore. Get close enough to snap as they rip open a salmon in 20 seconds.

5. Ladakh, IndiaPhoto: Flickr-user Sandeep Pachetan (Creative Commons) This northwestern region sits higher than 10,000 feet and looks like a barren moonscape. In winter (October to May), all roads are cut off and residents use the ice of the Zanskar River to travel between villages. Plus it’s the best place to photograph an endangered snow leopard.

6. White Sands, New MexicoPhoto: New Mexico True The fine particles here are really white gypsum; that’s why the dunes of this 275-square mile desert glow against the sky. Time your visit for a full moon, then capture it at sunset as it rises.

7.Haida Gwaii, British ColumbiaPhoto: Destination BC/Tom Ryan Visit the “Galápagos of Canada” to capture sea lions, porpoises, humpback whales, and three species of orcas.

8. Haleakala National Park, HawaiiPhoto: Flickr-user Blaine Courts(Creative Commons) With near-zero light pollution and overnight stays allowed (with a camping permit) this national park is amazing for astral shooting.

9. The Kimberly, AustraliaPhoto: Tourism Australia/Oliver Strewe This remote landscape has ancient pictographs, bizarre beehive-shaped mountains, and a huge marine park off the coast.

10. MongoliaPhoto: Flickr-user Jonathan E. Shaw (Creative Commons) Go 50 miles northeast of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar to Gorkhi-Terelj National Park, home to brown bears, 250 bird species, the chilly Terelj River, and a granite behemoth shaped like a turtle.

11. Antelope Canyon, ArizonaPhoto: Richard Bernabe This natural Navajo cathedral is an intricate maze through a sandstone slot canyon where, if you time it right, you can capture a ray of sunlight shining through the curved whorls like a beam from a light saber. "Most first-time photographers don’t realize how dark it is. A tripod is absolutely essential and long exposures—sometimes 20 or 30 seconds—are needed," says Bernabe.

12. Sicily, ItalyPhoto: Flickr-user Montecruz Foto (Creative Commons) Almost everything in Italy is photogenic, but Sicily feels especially lost in time. From hillside Taormina to battle-scarred Palermo to the island of Lipari, Sicily is a photograph a second.

13. Havana, CubaPhoto: Flickr-user Zoriah (Creative Commons) With cigar factories, curbside checker players, outdoor boxing rings, crumbling façades, and ’57 Chevys, this city is a shooter’s dream. Visiting takes research for Americans, but it’s doable.

14. Gray Whales, Baja California, MexicoPhoto: Flickr-user Jeff Huffman(Creative Commons) They’re 52 feet long and weigh 36 tons, and every year in November, more than 10,000 trade Alaska’s Bering Sea for the warm water of Scammon’s Lagoon and Bahia San Ignacio.

15. Aurora Borealis, Fairbanks, AlaskaPhoto: Chris McLennan Within a ring-shaped region around the North Pole called the auroral oval, Fairbanks is one of the best places to see the aurora. Prime shooting is between late August and April.

16. Waimea Bay, Oahu, HawaiiPhoto: Hawaii Tourism Authority (HTA) / Kirk Lee Aeder 30-foot waves break here November through February. Head up the bluff and shoot the surfing scene within the larger context of the gorgeous North Shore coastline.

17. Central Park, New York CityPhoto: Marley White This oasis holds 21,500 trees in 31 different families. The majestic American Elms are glorious all summer, but time the visit for late spring when the Kwanzan cherry trees bloom and the grass is so green it looks like AstroTurf.

18. Bora Bora, French PolynesiaPhoto: Flickr-user Henrian Julien (Creative Commons)The Society Islands’ Bora Bora has two extinct volcanoes ringed by a turquoise lagoon. Bring your underwater housing.

19. Temples, BhutanPhoto: Flickr-user Michael Foley (Creative Commons) Tiger’s Nest Monastery looks carved out of a cliff. More than 10,000 feet above the Paro Valley, it requires a three-hour hike, but the ascent is worth it.

20. TunisiaPhoto: Cathrine Wessel With Mediterranean beaches, Roman ruins, Berbers on horseback, and a peaceful political scene, Tunisia is a less photographed, equally exotic Morocco. Star Wars fans: Go now before the Mos Espa set is overcome by the shifting desert.
