I was able to find 34 lists. I took the 34 lists and added all their content into a spreadsheet, noting the rank of every beach. There were 143 that were on at least two lists. I averaged the rankings each one got and dividing that average by a factor of the number of lists it was on. The lowest score meant a high ranking average on many lists. The complete spreadsheet is attached at the bottom.
The lighthouses that were on the most lists (out of 34) were:
- Anse Source d’Argent, La Digue, Seychelles - 24 lists
- Whitehaven Beach, Whitsunday Island, Australia - 16 lists
- Grace Bay Beach, Turks and Caicos - 15 lists
- Praia do Sancho, Brazil - 14 lists
- Navagio (Shipwreck) Beach, Zakynthos, Greece - 10 lists
- Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman Island - 10 lists
