TripAdvisor spokesman James Kay said: "The presence of two UK beaches in Europe's top 10 is further proof of what a fantastic tourist draw the UK's coastline really is."
Europe's top beach was Rabbit beach at Lampedusa in Italy, with Playa de Ses Illetes in Formentera in the Spanish Balearic Islands in second place and Elafonissi beach in Greece third.
