Corona released the 2026 Corona Beach 100 guide ahead of World Oceans Day, spotlighting 100 oceanfront destinations across six continents, including 27 new additions. Selections were based on beach culture, scenic beauty and connection to nature, with 20 beaches earning the top Three Sun designation, including Brazil’s Praia do Bonete and Canada’s Plage de la Dune du Sud.
Regional highlights included South America’s strongest showing to date, featuring Uruguay’s first-ever entries alongside new beaches from Argentina and Brazil, as well as debut listings from Mozambique, Wales and New Zealand. The guide partnered with Tripadvisor to review 300,000 nature-led experiences across 30 countries and expanded its Beach 100 Grants program with Oceanic Global to support local marine conservation NGOs.
As brands continue to invest in lifestyle-driven platforms, Corona shows how an annual editorial property can connect travel, conservation and brand storytelling around a shared cultural moment.
