After a few days in the party-heavy environment of Ibiza, it's easy to burn out. Once you arrive, go to this beach. You'll find it little more sedate than the more well-known locations on the island's northern side since it's not on the usual tourist route. It takes just the environment to revitalize you: The beach is shielded from the weather by its location between two red-rock cliffs, and the ocean is exceptionally phrazle clean and blue. After you've had your fill of sunbathing, take a 30-minute journey southwest to see the ancient ruins at the Sa Caleta Phoenician Settlement, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If its past reputation is any guide, you shouldn't miss this Croatian beach. After being populated for around 4,000 years, the region is still well-liked by both residents and visitors. You must endure a strenuous 45-minute climb to reach the remote beach, so strong footwear is essential.
A few yards below the beach's edge lies a grotto cut into a rock that you shouldn't miss: the Blue Cave. Reaching there will require swimming, but once inside, the sensation is unmatched—sunlight bouncing off the water gives the impression that the area is lighted from inside. When you're sick of the beach, go back up into the town to sample the ultra-fresh fish in a medieval setting at Lubenice.The place to go if you want to combine gorgeous landscape with a lively party atmosphere is Nissi Bay Beach. It is located on the island of Cyprus, which is renowned for having some of Europe's cleanest seas. No matter where you pitch your tent, you'll be treated to beautiful vistas since a narrow strip of soft, pale sand separates two parts of bright blue shallows. The hub of the area's nightlife is Nissi Bay Beach Bar, which often offers foam parties, DJ sets, and midsummer bacchanals. This makes it a popular destination for anybody looking to spend the whole day lounging by the beach and the whole evening partying there.
This location might easily be mistaken for a Tahitian vacation area if it weren't for the evergreen trees that line the coast. On the French island of Corsica, Palombaggia is regarded by many as the most picturesque coastline. Despite its growing popularity among beachgoers, it still lacks the throngs of people who congest some of France's most well-known beaches. The gradually sloping shelf is ideal for families, especially for little swimmers who are happy to splash about in the shallow water. An abundance of schools of fish and yards of visibility can keep older youngsters occupied for hours while snorkeling.
