Concierge magazine's World's Sexiest Beaches 2008 list is out. Each of the magazine's reviews include why the beach was chosen, it's 'hookup potential' and a 'privacy rating', amongst other features. Here are some of the best, in no particular order.

1. Lake Nyasa, Mozambique â€“ The 9th largest fresh-water lake in the world, with [pristine white sand beaches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-san-cristobal). Privacy is key here and the magazine says the hookup rating is low, â€œunless you count the leopards and elephants in the neighboring Manda Wilderness Preserve.â€
2. Malibu, California â€“ â€œWhy Malibu, you ask? Angelina Jolie, Cindy Crawford, Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, Pamela Anderson:in swimsuits, â€œdefends Concierge. Enough said.
3. Paros, Greece â€“ 13 miles long in the Greek Islands with plenty of [smooth sunbathing rocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w-punta-cana). Has a high hookup rating and the magazine says privacy is â€œnot applicable as everyone is topless anyhow.â€
4. Lanzarote, Canary Islands â€“ A volcanic island 100 miles off the coast of Africa, with your choice of 90 beaches, so if you're looking for privacy, you should be able to find [your own private beach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachmaster).
5. Gotland, Sweden â€“ The largest island in the north Baltic Sea, and a favorite of Swedes. Concierge gives Gotland has a hookup rating of â€œa sure thingâ€. Remember, the sun never sets here during the summer months.
6. Krabi, Thailand â€“ The area's best beach is â€œPhra Nang (pictured) can only be reached by boat.â€ Limestone spires hundreds of feet high and sea caves set the beach's romantic mood.
7. KaÅŸ, Turkey â€“ At Patara Beach you'll find, â€œa crumbling amphitheater, tombs, a Roman temple, and, yes, one helluva nice beach.â€ When the sun goes down the Turkish tourists which flock here like to party.
