There are plenty of good beaches around the mediterranean. Plus, being on an island certainly doesn't mean the beaches are good. Britain is an island... |
The beaches around the Netherlands are great. The water is not so warm but you can walk for miles and miles on a nice wide beach. The problem is, it's also very busy. Getting to the beach in summer either means enduring long traffic jams, trying to find a parking spot and still have to walk for half an hour to get to the beach. Or endure being a Sardine in public transport to end up a little closer at Zandvoort.
My beach going is at Port Dover and Burlington nowadays in Ontario. I usually cycle there and back, quick swim in between. Fresh water beaches are a lot nicer than salty sea. The only problem with lakes is, the water level changes a lot. One year you have a big beach, the next a tiny strip. Lake Ontario is 85km wide, twice as wide as the Straight of Dover without all the ships. 244 meters deep, takes a while to warm up.
