The Most Beautiful Beaches in Europe – Greece
Greece is a natural choice for a holiday. And why wouldn’t it be? It enchants with hospitality, cuisine, history, and of course, beautiful beaches. Among the beaches worth visiting, in our opinion, is Navagio Beach in Zakynthos, also known as Shipwreck Cove, famous for its white sand and turquoise waters. Elafonissi Beach in Crete, on the other hand, is famous for its pink sand and blue lagoons, while Balos Beach, also in Crete, is known for its turquoise waters too! So, if you love turquoise, this destination is perfect for you.
The Most Beautiful Beaches in Europe – Spain and Portugal
Meanwhile, moving west in Europe, in Spain, it’s worth relaxing on Cala Macarelleta Beach (Menorca), a beautiful beach with white sand and crystal-clear water, and on Playa de las Catedrales in Galicia, known for its impressive natural rock arches and caves that can be explored during low tide.
If you want to admire the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, head to Praia da Marinha in Algarve, Portugal. It’s a picturesque beach with caves and unique rock formations, often considered one of the most beautiful in Europe.
Croatia, Montenegro, and Turkey
However, this is just the beginning. Europe has many corners worth visiting. While in Montenegro, be sure to visit Sveti Stefan Beach, which offers a view of the historic town of Sveti Stefan. In Croatia, choose Zlatni Rat Beach (Brac). In Turkey, Kaputas Beach will surely impress you!
Beauty and the Beast
Our ranking also includes a very unexpected choice. For those who prefer adventure, awe combined with activity beyond lying on the sand. Visit Iceland and go to Vik Beach. It’s a black beach surrounded by incredible basalt formations and views of glaciers. An extraordinary blend and mix of the beauty of raw nature with vastness. Here, you can feel awe, but also anxiety. Hence, some call this place – Beauty and the Beast.
The Most Beautiful Beaches in Europe – Dębki
In our ranking, we must not forget the beach in Dębki! Highly recommended at any time of year. This local beach has often been described in rankings of the most beautiful beaches in Poland. Why? You can find out for yourself after taking the first step. The sand underfoot is incredibly soft, the beaches are long, wide, and offer beautiful views. Moreover, Dębki are located within the Coastal Landscape Park. Hence, the beautiful beach perfectly complements the forest and the mouth of the Piaśnica River, which is a true paradise for kayaking or SUP enthusiasts.
