golden beaches

Warm coastal stretches

Golden beaches are stretches of coastline with sand that appears gold or honey-colored, especially in warm sunlight.

The phrase evokes idyllic tropical or Mediterranean settings: We spent our honeymoon lounging on golden beaches.

Travel marketing relies heavily on the image, making it something of a cliché for paradise destinations.
