The coolest part of Albatrosses is that they can sometimes spend years in the air without ever landing back on solid ground. They will, however, rest in the water.
The beaches of starting zones are iconic because they'd give you this feel where you are, at least for a moment, out of whatever is going on in the zone, especially at creepy places like Tirisfal, you'd go to the shore and it's a normal beach with random creatures like murlocs or hounds around the place, and you can take a break from all the undead. Also in Eversong Woods, the beaches are very "normal" for such a colorfoul forest. You're in a magical like place and then it transitions into a random beach in a way it feels connected, that's one of the things that makes WoW a world.
The beach under the floating magical academy thing in northwest Eversong Woods is the first place I ever saw coral in WoW, back when TBC was new. I'm not sure if any of the vanilla zones had coral but at least there weren't any at the level ranges I got to back then. Something about that felt really special for me at the time.
Have you done Top 10 Pointless Remains? A lot of corpses, skeletons and what not in the game doesn't make sense, either by their position or origin. like centaur skin rugs (gruesome by themself) being used in Eastern Kingdoms. And Draenor being littered with skulls that don't fit any creature, because they were based off a rylak design that was scrapped in favor of the chimaera model
There's also a dive bar (probably the most remote) off Beach no. 9. My addition would be the beaches of Drustvar, at the bottom of that massive cliff. No daily quest run was complete without one visit, for turtles or a rare or what have you. For some reason, despite it being a logistical nuisance as non-flying Horde, I never minded heading to a beach in Drustvar. Better than going into the forest, I guess!
even as a horde player I know of the long beaches of westfall, personally I would've put them higher but still nice to see them here but those would've been my 1
Why Stranglethorn is not on this list? It's literally a tropical beach themed zone, especially the south part. Definelly should be at the top 3, but for me is number 1 for sure.
Lots of beaches to pick from. Glad you got Tanaris in but bummed Isle of Quel'Danas wasn't there. That one always stuck out to me and I remember going there all the time.
I got my mom's baby lock alt and my future main killed at Longshore when I was 5 in vanilla. This was my earliest memory of the game I grew up alongside.
My favorite beach must be the Southern Savage Coast. It was a place I would go to just hang around while visiting Booty Bay area. (Swimming and lying on the beach with my succubus familiar.)
When you described the Senjin village beaches as number one, that is how alliance mains feel about westfall beaches: nostalgia trip! My first beach was on azuremyst island, still one of my favorite zones. My favorite beach from this list was the Zuldazar beach, purely because "Another turtle made it to the water!" 🤣 🐢🐢🐢
Can't believe you didnt mention the beach at the battleground Strand of the Ancients For me that is THE beach I had the most fun in the game, with all the siege engines and cannons on the gates
I like the appreciation of the little things. WoW and Activision-Blizzard have some really terrible problems both in the game and in real life, but so many artistic and story tidbits within deserve this kind of positive recognition.
darkshore is my favorite just because the nostalgia. it's a little bit sad to see how it is, but also sweet to remember the time i've spend during vanilla.
If a Kalimdor/EK revamp happens, one of my big wishes is for every zone that should have a coastline to get a coastline. There's several weird ones that just inexplicably don't have on despite definitely needing one if the continents were at all realistic. More beaches!!
When the game became no longer fun, I found myself wandering around just marveling at the art and beauty. Think of zones or instances you've been in where you stopped and said, "wow, look at this place!" I hope that the occasional dev will watch these videos and say with pride, "I made that!"
1. Stranglethorn Vale ( prior to Cataclysm) At the river / waterfall south of the arena. Opposite the beach with the Nagas 2. Shadowprey Village in Desolace ( prior to Cataclysm) These are the beaches where my characters would “retire”.
I love Darkshore. Way way back when we started playing with a friend on a server which had almost no people it was the first zone we were trying to complete outside of the starting area and we were failing miserably. The nostalgia is very strong even to this day. Also where is STV?! Edit: thanks for mentioning it at the end.
The waves in Thunder Isle were actually just m2s placed a bit off the shore, they have no connection to the water mechanic wise. They probably stopped using them since, upon closer inspection, they do look rather wonky.
Hey Crendor, were you thinking of making something like top 10 locations added in cata (i dont know if youve ever been to Fuselight-by-the-Sea in Badlands, such a cool settlement)
The beaches of Darkshore (before Blizzard murdered my people and covered the beach in plague ... ) always reminded me of the Pacific Northwest coast. The Oregon Coast especially is pretty famous for it's beauty in the same grey, morose sort of way. It's a primal sort of place that just effects us, regardless of age I think. But I was always a broody little kid so that might say something
That existential moment when you watch PS1/PS2 essays on video game beaches, wonder if Crendor has done any, you swore he has.... he hasnt yet >Next video >TOP TEN BEACHES 😵💫
hell yeah i requested something like this a bit ago n glad this was made! (im sure its been requested countless times but let me be delusional that it was made bc of me 🤣)
Oh, i was waited for beach near Sunwell.. :( there a few enemies that will sit n watch forbthe sunset too... Also draenei' start-locations... Or blood elf'.. or-.. oh, ncm xD
Thank you Crendor for saving me from doomscrolling

He saves me at least once a day, only found the channel recently

Ain't Saturday night without Crendor
Sunday morning
Ain't a Sunday morning without crendor works just as well folks. Could be night time where they are.
I love the waves so much. They should have implemented them in a lot of places

Romeo and Juliet in Karazhan
Might do something like that for Halloween!
He’s definitely doing something like this for Halloween.
I love Sunstrider Isle beaches.
There's also a dive bar (probably the most remote) off Beach no. 9.
My addition would be the beaches of Drustvar, at the bottom of that massive cliff. No daily quest run was complete without one visit, for turtles or a rare or what have you.

As an OG night elf, Darkshore is truly very peaceful and lovely
You're spelling of Eversong Woods is incorrect.
Darkshore in vanilla and BC was super spooky with genuinely dark night
Why Stranglethorn is not on this list? It's literally a tropical beach themed zone, especially the south part. Definelly should be at the top 3, but for me is number 1 for sure.
It's the first thing in the video
My favorite youtube series
2:07 friendly giant dinosaur having a look
I like the beaches in Suramar right on the outskirts of the city
No Stranglethorn Vale is criminal I was certain it was #1
Yeah, that definitely should have been #1!
ahh, a nice calming episo-
8:15
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Azurebreeze Coast in Eversong Woods is my favorite beach
Pointless top 10 Ducks is absolutely coming, I am manifesting it.
Lots of beaches to pick from. Glad you got Tanaris in but bummed Isle of Quel'Danas wasn't there. That one always stuck out to me and I remember going there all the time.
That shot you got in Tanaris at 5:53 was pretty great
I got my mom's baby lock alt and my future main killed at Longshore when I was 5 in vanilla.
This was my earliest memory of the game I grew up alongside.
It’s weird that I have wow items that are nearly as old as you
Im sad that bloodmyist isle isnt here in the top 10 😂❤ but still a good video as always ... Darkhore is my favourite beach ❤
This really slapped me in the face with how beautiful the art in the game has become.
My exact same thought when i saw darkshore ❤ such a beautiful beach ⛱️
Top 10 Raid/Dungeon boss one-liners!
SUCH INSOLENCE, SUCH ARROGANCE MUST BE PUNISHED!
no southern Northrend beaches, no Stranglethorn, hmm i dunno bout this list Crendor
I personally like the beaches of Stranglethorn Vale.
Sir Finley is part of the hivemind secret mount quest.
My favorite beach must be the Southern Savage Coast. It was a place I would go to just hang around while visiting Booty Bay area. (Swimming and lying on the beach with my succubus familiar.)

thank you. very enjoyable video. the graphics are good enough to give you the feel that you're really there
Azshara has some nice beaches too.
These videos are my absolute favorite thing to watch while high. Love ya Crendawg.
Can't believe you didnt mention the beach at the battleground Strand of the Ancients
For me that is THE beach I had the most fun in the game, with all the siege engines and cannons on the gates
My favorite way to start the morning, coffee and Crendor!
crendor you're so close to 500k thats awesome!!! lets goo
definitelt do top hotsprings!
Love you, Crendor. God Bless!
WOWCRENDOR!! You're a boss, did you take my suggestion the other day =P I love you brother. This makes my day.
you should do another video like this, but in the style of a travel agent
I like the appreciation of the little things. WoW and Activision-Blizzard have some really terrible problems both in the game and in real life, but so many artistic and story tidbits within deserve this kind of positive recognition.
seeing the big tornado again in westfall makes me think of a 'top 10 disaster area' like that tornado, or dalaran crater, whats left of hyjal, etc.
love me some crendor every sunday morning amazing
Live this series, always chills me out
These are my favorite thing to watch, it feels like terapy
i feel like this is more of a top 10 shores
I always loved that Vashj’ir beach. So random.
Ayoooo my random af profile picture made this list 😂 took a screenshot for some reason during Cata and it’s stuck ever since
darkshore is my favorite just because the nostalgia. it's a little bit sad to see how it is, but also sweet to remember the time i've spend during vanilla.
would love to see a new vid on mountains
If a Kalimdor/EK revamp happens, one of my big wishes is for every zone that should have a coastline to get a coastline. There's several weird ones that just inexplicably don't have on despite definitely needing one if the continents were at all realistic. More beaches!!
Can't wait to get paid and get some merch, I look forward to these "pointless top 10"
Hooray for more pointless top 10!
Only beach this is missing is the one next to the stadium of Crendor's FAVORITE NFL team: DA CHICAGO BEARS
pointless top 10 is my youtube comfort series
i noticed the waves in wow remix recently and wondered the same thing! never seen them anywhere else
Honestly, I'd completely forgotten that you had done a Top Ten Beaches before... XD
How about a top ten Pet Battle Trainers?
darkshore beach is my nostalgia piece, started my adventures there, trying to find 1100% of quests, of course failed

Hi crendor hope you have a great day
Ty for letting me forget about the irl.
These beaches made me think about the summer vacations and the passport-bro's movement simultaneously :D
liked and subscribed and commented
The beaches south of Gadgetzan are the most aesthetic beaches in game.
5:51 what's that dark looming shadow at the edge of the map?
I really like the Nazmir beach too!
Hey wowcrendor, have you done top 10 vacation destinations?
1. Stranglethorn Vale ( prior to Cataclysm)
At the river / waterfall south of the arena. Opposite the beach with the Nagas
2. Shadowprey Village in Desolace ( prior to Cataclysm)
These are the beaches where my characters would “retire”.

7. "blasted murlocs! I am just trying to kill you for a quest!"
A turtle has made it to the water!
The waves in Thunder Isle were actually just m2s placed a bit off the shore, they have no connection to the water mechanic wise. They probably stopped using them since, upon closer inspection, they do look rather wonky.
2:40 Crendor that texture looks like friggen fruity pebbles lol
Early days :)
Top 10 Boats and Ships perhaps?
Ah durotar music... So good
Hey Crendor, were you thinking of making something like top 10 locations added in cata (i dont know if youve ever been to Fuselight-by-the-Sea in Badlands, such a cool settlement)
What about Eversong Woods!?!?! Azuremyst Isle too!!!
AAAAAHHHHH we need a sequel to this!!!
Can't believe the STV beaches didn't make it, those are some of the beachiest beaches in WoW imo
Have you done rugs? Every time I walk into the tailoring shop in Org and see the taxidermy orc I wonder if there's lore there.

I’m hoping for a top 10 most psychedelic areas in WoW.
What about Dark Moon Island, they have beaches and great to run/sail round
You forgot Southshore beach! Let me tell you.. IT IS AWESOME!
Uploaded 10 seconds ago Woot!
i want to say the isle of thunder waves are because of the storm... might look weird no waves with a giant storm brewing above.
10. "blasted murlocs! I am just tyring to get to Stranglehorn or what was it engineering?"
You did the sandy beach😂😂😂
Senjin is defs #1 !
Oh, i was waited for beach near Sunwell.. :( there a few enemies that will sit n watch forbthe sunset too...
Also draenei' start-locations... Or blood elf'.. or-.. oh, ncm xD
I have a framed poster of the Sen'jin beach.
Longshore beach brings me memories of long nights, roleplaying worgen Packs 😂
"Waves like you've never seen before - or again"
The best used to be in Noreastern Cata Silverpine before it was cut. Oh wait. *Beaches?* The kind with sand an water? Nevermind!
Beaches are fine 🔥
Maaaan even among beaches, my server US-theforgottencoast remains forgotten.
On top of my head i can think of at least 7 hot springs in wow
