1) Plage de Saleccia, Corsica.
Situated as French territory off the mainland, this lush island with clear, turquoise Mediterranean waters surrounding it teems with unspoiled foliage amidst its mountain ranges, not to forget its plethora of animal species all very much alive and thriving in their primitive habitats.
A little way off from St. Florent (this may be slightly lesser than approximately 6 miles of distance), the sandy shore that pays homage to the exclusive Plage de Saleccia coastline flaunts nothing but raw white sand and crystal clear waves for discerning nature lovers, both young and old alike.
Virtually left untouched by synthetic human influences (jet skis or cabanas, anyone?) this stretch of beach portrays minimalism in the most admirable fashion possible! All you may require is a towel, umbrella and a pair of polarized sunnies to tan yourself to glory in this tranquil locale!
What with basic amenities available only a few miles inland as mentioned above, resorting to stay at any hotel in St Florent or Calvi is your best bet, rest assured.
2) Playa de Las Catedrales, Spain.
This sunny, sandy delight along the Cantabric coast about 10 kilometres west of the Spanish township of Ribadeo is named so for its exotic rock formations that resemble arching buttresses; the very kinds that appraise the fundamental architectural frameworks of the typical cathedral.
That’s right, those moments where the tide has gone back out and into the sea are just ideal to emphasize a focal point on intricate rock formations that are the result of consecutive wind and water erosion along with a another session of observation inside shallow pools of water; teeming with marine life, this is an absolute novelty for kids of all ages!
When the tide gushes back in, however, it’s best to stick to the tops of cliffs, caves and a host of other crevices to revel in some breathtaking scenery that’s viewable of the horizon, in addition to taking a snapshot or two to account as a memento to cherish for years to come.
3) Slanchev Bryag, Bulgaria.
Located in Nessebar, this coastal resort along the Black Sea is any youth’s paradise; period! Yes, from nightclubs that are bound to make you dance the night away to water sports that create a rush of energy-driven adrenaline in your veins, Slanchev Bryag is a metropolis that is complete with all the amenities that are due to be on the wish list of any cosmopolitan globe-trotter regardless of where he or she may hail from.
A hit with most Germans and Russians, this pristine stretch of sea that spans up to 8 kilometres of length along the shores of the Black Sea is home to 100 times more the number of accommodation facilities – approximately 800 luxury hotels within the boundaries of the resort premises itself!
With affordable rates for transport in and around all of Nessebar ( a minimum of 1 Lev and 3 Lev for buses and taxi rides respectively), making your way round this locale that’s full of catchy tunes, delectable cocktails and beautiful people is just a breeze, no doubt.
