Mediterranean beaches
Southern European shores
Sandy or rocky shorelines along the Mediterranean Sea, known for warm climate, clear blue water, and summer tourism.
The phrase evokes a particular style of coastal leisure—crowded resort towns, topless sunbathing, seaside cafés: We spent August on Mediterranean beaches in Greece.
The region spans southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.
