But Europe has to offer much more stunning stretches of sand beyond the Mediterranean. The northern shorelines of Europe are a bit colder for your liking, but their captivating views, gigantic dunes and dramatic history; won’t fail to delight you.

This blossomed isle is blemished with spas, and it is swarmed by tourists who want to be mollycoddled, rubbed and slathered in minerals. This Estonian island is all about pampering. Revive up your body and meander around the bistro packed streets and 13th century stronghold in Kuressaare- the biggest town on the island. Further move westwards to Mandjala-Jarve beach for an idyllic laid-back experience.
For more secluded bays, go to the Tukhana beach on the northern coast of the island. This beach is backed up by a dense pine forest and the waves are wilder compared to other beaches of Saaremaa. You can also ditch the crowds by exploring the beaches of the western coast, and you won’t have to break a sweat to find a vacant corner here.

This narrow, 98km long strip of sand connects Lithuania to the forbidden Kaliningrad region of Russia. Board a ferry from vibrant Klaipedia to this slender outcrop of land, swayed by lagoons on one side, an extremely beautiful haven for birds; the other side is marked with drowsy beach towns and ridges of sand. The Fishing town of Nida is the highlight of the strip, alluring visitors with its colorful houses, fresh sea food and its Saharan flair- Dune of Pardinis.
The mystical charm of this strip never fades away and myths abound from unfathomable air folklore museum to Nida’s daunting pagan burial markers. The area is fast gaining the reputation of a pilgrimage for jazz devotees with its annual jazz festival.
I want to hear from you, so let’s get connected friends!
