Generally people don't JUST go to Italy for the beaches because there's so much else to see, culture etc. The same can be said of the other countries, but it does seem there are more dedicated beach resort areas in the other countries. In general, the idea of anywhere advertised as a 'beach resort' is a bit of a turnoff. It usually means crowds. I love beaches, but the quieter, less changed by tourism the better.

To fly from Australia or China or USA to go to beach in Italy... is simple "stupid"

Sure, if you compare Spanish and Portuguese beaches with German or British beaches, other than that, not comparable with tropical destinations.

Italy has beaches but they're actually not the main reason people travel to this country.


I don't really like them because they are expensive and crowded, and the nice (and free) ones are far away from where I live.

Britain has one of the longest coastlines in Europe (about 10000 km of it), there are some stunningly beautiful beaches in the UK, why would you think otherwise? Unless of course you don't know what you are talking about!

If you do not hear of their beaches, then they are not famous for them. Definition of "famous".

Sure, the most stunning beaches in Spain and France... and Europe are in the Atlantic coast, some in your country, Gaellecia.

But who is the hero that dares to bathe there, freezing water.

Praia das Catedrais, Lucus Augusti, Gaellecia, once part of Spanish Britannia or the area of influence of Britonia founded by Britons fleeing from pirates, you should visit the area. There's a dialect in the area influenced by Briton. Unfortunately, Vikings burned down the Briton capital and from then on started to lose power. They had bad luck with piratesl.

I only know Brighton in Britannia which has a freezing water and the adjoining area. I only know that I set one of my feet in the water and came out purple. No wonder all Britons are in Benidorm.

According to Romans, Britannia had a good weather and produced one of the best wines of the empire, your beloved rock must be entering into a premature glaciation period.

As a surfer I have spent MANY hours in the sea off the coast of the UK (usually the South West), people bathe in the sea off the coast of the UK but only really for 4 months of the year. It became 'fashionable' in Georgian times to bathe in the sea and Brighton was only a fishing village until the King made it a popular spot to bathe. I have surfed the Cornish coast in March but only wearing a wet suit. Some of the beaches in the West Country are stunningly beautiful.

Any country that happens to be an island (a big island at that) is going to have its fair share of beautiful beaches.

You might find this interesting, in Europe only Norway, Greenland and Greece has more coastline than the UK:-

The UK is an island so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that it has a lot of 'coast', Greece might surprise you because it is a 'smaller' country than many Euro countries but again I believe there are a LOT of Greek islands.
