Europe Highlights: Beaches


Some of the most glamorous beaches are arguably the world are in Europe. France St Tropez and Biarritz on the French Riviera beach, Ibiza Spain, Kefalonia Greece ... These are beaches to go to Europe, if you want to look to celebrities starring international, or want to be seen, or usually both. These popular beaches in Europe offer a range of stylish and chic cafes, restaurants, bars and night parties.

While summers are warm, the waters are not necessarily warm. What this means is that not all swimmers to the beach by the water - never risk a little at sea, or do it for a short time. Much more time is spent on the beach. Hence the large number of umbrellas, beach huts or cabanas and hammocks on the beach. The waters colder and windier beaches in Europe also means more water over some sports, such as wind or kite, chase.

The quality of the sand in most European beaches is a medium coarse type, mixed with coral / loam - not the kind of silky fine-grained sand that your feet sink into. Well, not without some effort on your part. Besides that, all are sandy beaches in Europe - sharp rocks or pebbles completely replace sand on some beaches, for example, in Nice, France.
Note that many European beaches are clothing-optional beaches and topless sunbathing is a common sight in summer.

While the beaches are usually associated with the sun soaking activity in the southern cities of Europe, cities in Northern Europe offers a different race from the beaches - beaches of great natural beauty. Think coves and cliffs, desert terrain, sand dunes ... The Scandinavian countries - Norway, Denmark and Sweden offer travelers the different types of experiences on the beach. For example, in Gotland Sweden beach. The best part about visiting the beaches of northern Europe in the summer is the long daylight hours.
