If you're thinking about traveling to Europe in search of some of the best beaches, one country that has to be seen is Spain. A trip to Spain not only offers rich culture and history, shopping and mouth-watering cuisine, but miles and miles of warm, beautiful beaches. All up and down the Mediterranean coastline you'll find a number of all-inclusive beach resorts with plenty of water and land activities by day, and a non-stop nightlife featuring plenty of bars and nightclubs.
If you're traveling to Europe this year in quest of beautiful beaches, nightlife, and cuisine, you may want to check out the country of Portugal. Rich in history, Portugal is a wonderful locale for hours upon hours of summer fun on the beach. Whether you travel inside Portugal to seaside spots such as Algarve, or head to the Azores to check out the nine separate islands, Portugal is definitely the place to be on summer holiday.
The island of Cyprus and the country of Greece are also very popular and renowned for their awesome beaches. In Cyprus you'll find beautiful, crystal-blue waters and miles of white sandy beaches, especially in the town of Kyrenia, a breathtaking coastal town offering plenty of things to do on the beach during the day and a fabulous nightlife as well. In Greece, the awesome architecture and picturesque villages is the perfect backdrop as you sit on the beach and enjoy the cool Mediterranean breeze. Both Cyprus and Greece should be a must for any traveler seeking beautiful beaches.
Rounding out the list of European countries with the best beaches are the countries of Turkey and Croatia. While not well known for their beaches, both of these countries feature a number of seaside resorts along the Mediterranean and Aegean coast, with plenty of activities for the entire family. The beaches in Turkey offer warm sunshine and fewer crowds than many Western European locales like Spain, Portugal and Greece, and great accommodations all up and down the shoreline.
