The 10 best beaches across the popular European holiday destinations have been named in a new study, with a UK beach beating Corsica in the list!


The 10 beaches were picked for their location, and then assessed on five factors; the average sea and air temperature in June, the number of five-star reviews, height of the waves and the average daily costs.


Each beach was ranked out of 10 in these categories, and then ranked based on an overall score out of 100.

Quotezone, who performed the study, said: 'While Bournemouth beach offers beautiful seaside views and a pier full of attractions for the whole family, due to England's cold sea and air temperatures, the beach has ranked second to last.'
