Tico
It's not. Itīs about 40 km north of Lisbon. If you look for sun, quiet sea and night, nothing beats the Algarve.
Santa Cruz if my favourite because it reminds me of my youth as I said. But the water is icing cold (17 celsius), the sea is usually rough and the weather uncertain. But I like it.

Vlieland - one big beach!

Maria....That beach looks amazing. I think Voidokilia is my new top destination this summer. But all of these beaches are great

Ironic, since I'm always going to Greece, but the most stunning beach in Europe for me was on Formentera in the Spanish Balearics.

Best in the world? The best I've been on, anyway, was Whitehaven Beach in the Australian Whitsundays.

How do I find that spot at Capo Vaticano? I go to Tropea as a day trip from my aunt's home in Calabria. I once tried to find that exact location and couldn't!

In terms of beauty, not necessarily "hotness" or "popularity," these are my pics:

The beaches in Tropea, Italy
Xerocampos, Crete
Elafonisi, Crete (crowded)
Kaputas Beach, Turkey
Sabbie Bianche, Sardinia
Spiaggia del Principe, Costa Smeralda, Sardina

I have more, I am sure- I'm always on the hunt for a gorgeous beach. This June I will be in Puglia to find more. Maybe I will creat a photo slide show of my favs & post.

I have to agree with AP about Kaputas:
