Europe

Why

  • Summer getaway: The best time to visit European beaches is when the water is warmer in the summer
  • Change of scenery: For those that have visited the Caribbean/Mexico many times, the European beaches feature a more distinctive coast with typically rocky shores
  • Great European Eats: Enjoy gelato stands near the beaches in Italy or cute beachfront restaurants in France

Where

  • Naxos, Greece: Long golden sand beaches and turquoise waters
  • Menorca, Spain: Think beautiful beaches and crystal clear waters but also take a horseback ride around the island
  • Nice, France: French Riviera beaches do not disappoint and Nice offers over four miles of beaches with a combination of public and private complete with beachfront restaurants and ice cream kiosks
  • Lubenice, Croatia: It will involve hiking to get to many beaches, but it is worth the trek
  • Sicily, Italy: Secluded beaches, less crowded, mix of sandy and rocky beaches
