7. Lokrum (Dubrovnik, Croatia)
There is only one thing superior to a gay beach, and that is a gay island. One of the isolated islands off of Dubrovnik is Lokrum. This island is just accessible by a 10-minute boat ride from the town. The island is an unchanged and rugged wilderness with a bumpy and rocky landscape packed with pine trees, as well as lagoons of blue, crystal-clear water.
This gay beach is situated at one of the many covers of this island and has a level of seclusion and privacy that is not often found on other gay beaches in Europe. On this gay beach, you can relax as well as unwind in absolute tranquillity and peace.
Lokrum beach is a renowned spot for the gay community of Dubrovnik to meet and hang out, and this place is also clothing discretionary.
This gay beach has a mild breeze that gives a welcome respite from the sweltering and soaring heat during the summer season.
8. Elia Beach (Mykonos, Greece)
The best beach in Greece is on Mykonos Island where Elia Beach gets a lot of attention of many gay beachgoers. This fantastic gay beach in Greece is situated in the southern part of the beautiful island.
Mostly it is a gay-friendly beach with umbrellas and sunbeds for rent. You will see a nude and gay area to the right-hand part. This gay beach is relatively small and congested with visitors, so during the summer season, especially during July and August, you may not be able to look for a space.
The amazing rocks make a remarkable sport to balance yourself. Therefore, you better go beyond these rocks and visit this gay beach on the other part. This beach is less crowded and a bit cruisy, particularly in the evening; that has coarser sand with clear blue water.
This beach is well known under gay travellers. Panormos is also a notorious beach located in the northern portion of the amazing island. Even if it is a little bit off the flattened path, there is a bus service from the town of Mykonos.

11. Bellevue Beach (Copenhagen, Denmark)
Even if Denmark isn’t renowned for its beaches, we couldn’t still resist including the lovely and very gay-friendly beach of Bellevue in Copenhagen.
About 10 kilometres far from Copenhagen you will find this stunning sunny haven. This beach attracts younger crowds who find fun and happiness in the smallest thing life has to give, such as playfully splashing in the water and playing music.
On the other hand, if that is not your mood for a beach day, worry no more as there are many places where you can visit. Apart from the fine sand, there’s an agreeably grassy part with stunning plants, an ideal sitting location for a picnic by the sea. Also, you can stroll down to the nearest pier to see the white and blue lifeguard towers made by renowned architects.
