We know a lot of Europeans fly to the Caribbean or South Florida to “holiday” and they’re probably the chaps who have been to the beaches on our list here. So we’ll forgive them for leaving Europe this time. But we want to show you what awesome beaches grace the shores of some of the most beautiful places you can find. We’ve visited Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and a few countries you wouldn’t expect to have such treasures. If you’re ready to jump in, lets check out the Best Beaches of Europe!
