As we approach World Ocean Day (June 8), Corona, the world’s most valuable beer brand, has unveiled the highly anticipated second edition of its annual Corona Beach 100 for 2026. This edition celebrates not only the beauty of our oceans but also the unique ecosystems and vibrant local communities that breathe life into these breathtaking beaches.
A Global Invitation to Nature
Under the inspiring banner of “This Is Living,” Corona encourages everyone to step outside, break free from their routines, and reconnect with nature this summer. The 2026 Beach 100 includes 27 new beaches, a treasure trove of local experiences listed on platforms like Tripadvisor, and enhanced conservation initiatives in partnership with Oceanic Global. Clarissa Pantoja, Global VP of Corona, emphasizes the brand’s commitment: “It’s not just about discovering beaches; it’s about valuing and protecting the ecosystems that make them unique.”
Spotlight on the Canary Islands
Among the highlights of this year’s list is the inclusion of Grandes Playas de Corralejo in Fuerteventura, Canary Islands.

He added, “It embodies the essence of This Is Living: pure nature, ocean, and a genuine way of enjoying the outdoors year-round.”
