The 20 hottest European beaches for 2010
Yes, it’s still nippy out. But don’t despair — here are Europe’s finest expanses of sand, where the sun shines and sea shimmers
20 Holland: Terschelling dunes, Frisian Islands
The Frisians are little more than a string of sand bars along the northern coast of Holland. On Terschelling, 20 miles of hourglass-fine sand and marram grass dunes offer a surprising sense of wilderness for such a densely populated country. Huge skies, low-tide mudflats and biblical sunsets will all return you to your senses, while a network of mountain-bike tracks makes getting to the remotest beaches easy, even at the height of summer, when all-night beach parties and wild camping make this island popular with Holland’s hippie youngsters.
Best for: cyclists, nudists, party freaks.
Details: ocean views abound at the Terschelling Stayokay Hostel (00 31 562 442338, www.stayokay.com/terschelling), about half a mile from town and right on the dunes, with dorm beds from £20pp. There’s a beach bar, too. Take the train to Amsterdam through Eurostar (0843 218 6186, eurostar.com), then change for Harlingen, where a regular ferry crosses to Terschelling in two hours (£32 return; www.doeksen.nl).
