The World’s Most Instagrammed Beaches

Instagram is one of the modern world’s most popular social networking services. People across the world share photos and videos of things they love and places they visit through this application. It is thus one of the best tools to judge the popularity of tourist destinations.

Following is a list of the most Instagrammed beaches in the world, based on the number of hashtags associated with these top beaches.

Ao Nang Beach, Thailand
