Which European country has the prettiest beaches?

Question

BCA6010 · Accepted Answer

Honestly, haven't been very impressed with the significant majority of European beaches I've been to (mostly between Italy and Turkey, and throughout the Greek isles) and of those, the ones closer to or in Turkey were better/less crappy. Allegedly, some of them in the southern France and Monte Carlo are nice, but I've never been to them.

You run into a similar problem with beaches everywhere in the world: really popular ones with lots of people tend to be trashed and overrated, while the obscure ones are better, but may or may not be worth the extra effort. I would imagine the cream of the crop in Europe would be in the hard to reach Greek islands that aren't part of usual tourism industries.

Yes I have to assume Greece has nice clear waters and the beaches are rather clean.

Any European country’s beach has got to be better than Coney Island as far as the grade scale goes for a “beach.”

Coney is only good for some of its rides 🎢

Having traveled extensively around Mediterranean coastal countries, I would say pretty much any county that has a Mediterranean coast line, will have the most beautiful beaches! The water is so crystal clear that it will amaze you! I learned to water ski in Greece, and I was terrified because I could see coral below the surface, and I couldn’t even tell if it was just below the surface or was 20ft below. So I was afraid to fall because I thought that I could get hurt by falling on the sharp coral rocks! Southern Italy also has some amazing beaches
Ibiza has nicer beaches than either Kos or Corfu in Greece, but the experience of being in the Mediterranean is not so different. My family owns an estate in the mountains on the San Antonio side of the island, and growing up there I have many wonderful memories of the beautiful clear water.
If anyone asked me for a vacation recommendation based on the beaches and nightlife alone, I would have to say Ibiza (pronounced: “e-beeth-a”), and definitely check out Cala Basa, and Cala Comte, but my all-time favorite Beach in Ibiza is Cala Carbo, it is VERY secluded with tall cliffs surrounding it on three sides. Parking is on the ramp down, and it is never packed. It’s truly an unspoiled gem in the crown of Ibiza, and it even has a magnificent little restaurant right on the beach. They are all beautiful beaches, and there are innumerable other beautiful beaches there. Ibiza also has some of the finest night clubs in the world there too, where i believe house music, and foam parties were invented. So Ibiza’s amazing for both the beach-life, and the nightlife! I hope this helped.

Greek islands, esp. Santorini is great. Southern Crete has a few beaches on Libyan Sea that are beatiful. I don''t thonk you can beat the Caarribean - I know youu wanted Europe but as far as water goes, I don't think anyplace is as beautiful. From the Bahamas, Antilles, Virgin islands, from Mexico you can acxess Cozumel, Isla Museres. amaica has some fntastic beaches. Maybe the Canary Islands though I haven't been. Balaeric islands off spain if you cgo to Ibiza or Fomentera. If I think of any more I'll pass along. Anywhere specoific in Europe? Portugal, the Algarve coast is great but other Iberiam beaches not so much. Torre, molinos was a let down. French Riviera has mostly smaller amd pebbly beaches. Most of southern Europe, esp. Greece are clothing optional. Europe is further North then many people think,. Check a globe and see what latitude you wil be on & check it against U. S. cities you know. You'll be surprised at how far North many places are. It's also important what time of year. The resorts are packed in late uly & August because of 6 week vacation most European obs have.

I think it would be Turkey with the Mediterranean environment. Greece is crowded or so people say.

But there are less expensive regions like Moldova and Albania on the Mediterranean too.

I haven't visited any of the places just saw pictures from the travellers there ))

To me, a 'pretty' beach is one with a minimum of tourists. So I'd opt for: Føroyar Islands (somewhat Danish) :D
