India has three best beaches in Asia - the Agonda and Palolem in Goa and Radhanagar in the Andamans

As per data generated by a popular travel website, India can boast of having three of the top 10 beaches in Asia favored by travelers. The beaches are Agonda, Palolem (both in Goa) and Radhanagar on the Havelock Island in the Andamans. India has an extensive coastline and is dotted with beautiful stretches of sand and getting recognition is a great feeling.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 28 February 2016.

Travellers' Choice Award-winning beaches have been determined based on the quantity and quality of traveler reviews and ratings on the website gathered over a 12-month period. This year's awards honor a total of 343 beaches, including the top 10 in the world.
Three of India's beaches have found a place in the list of top 10 beaches in Asia.
Agonda beach (Goa) has been ranked at number four position in the Asia top 10 list, mostly for being wide, quiet, picturesque and a great spot for sunbathing and relaxing with relatively few tourists around.
Palolem beach, also of Goa, has been ranked 8th in the list for its beach hut accommodations. It stretches between two magnificent head lands and is lined with towering coconut palms and is largely unspoiled. It is inhabited by local fishermen and foreign tourists alike.
Radhanagar Beach on the Havelock Island in the Andamans is ranked at number 10 in the list for its stretch of white sand with picture perfect waters lined with palm trees.
No 1 beach in Asia is Ngapali beach in Myanmar, it is followed by Nacpan Beach in Philippines and Kata Noi beach in Thailand. Then comes Yapak beach in Philippines at number five, followed by Nai Harn beach in Thailand at number six and Sunrise beach in Thailand at the seventh spot, with Otres beach in Cambodia at number nine.
Unfortunately, none of the Indian beaches feature in the category of the world's best beaches. In this ranking - Grace Bay beach in the Caribbean is world's number one followed by Baia do Sancho beach in Brazil and Playa Paraiso beach in Cuba.
