This World Oceans Day, four South African beaches have earned a place among the world's most celebrated coastal destinations, with Wilderness Beach joining an annual global list that celebrates the places where living calls loudest.
Joining Kraalbaai, Camps Bay and Boulders Beach, the new addition highlights the remarkable diversity of South Africa's coastline and further cements the country's reputation as home to some of the world's most extraordinary beach experiences.
Released annually, the Corona Beach 100 has evolved into a global celebration of the world's most remarkable coastal destinations. This year's edition spans 22 countries and welcomes 27 new additions, selected through a curation process that considered scenic beauty, beach culture and connection to nature.
As part of World Oceans Week, Corona has expanded its 'Beach 100 Grant' initiative in partnership with Oceanic Global, providing direct support to community-led organisations focused on marine debris reduction, habitat restoration, biodiversity preservation and coastal resilience across 'Beach 100' destinations.
Corona and Oceanic Global will also release a new content series, Ocean is Living, highlighting the inherent connection between beaches and the oceanic world. Featuring ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, and the open ocean, the film reinforces that paradise is more than a destination — it is a living system worth protecting. The initiative will also feature social content spotlighting the ecosystems and local grant projects surrounding four select Beach 100 locations.
As Beach 100 enters its second year, Corona continues its invitation to put living first, reconnect with nature, and experience the beaches where living calls loudest — while helping protect the oceans and ecosystems that make those moments possible.
