Do you know what's great about the Mediterranean? There are many things that make the Mediterranean so cool, namely the climate, and the fact that it's tied to Islamic, Christian, and Jewish history and culture.
But when it comes to natural landscapes, the beaches of the Mediterranean are as magnificent as any beaches can be.
There are plenty of fantastic beaches in the Mediterranean, it's hard to pick the ones you should definitely not miss.
To help us narrow down the list, I will only include the most Muslim-friendly beaches of the Mediterranean.

The weather in Barcelona makes the city a wonderful beach destination. Sunbathing in Barcelona is always pleasant.
While some of the beaches of Barcelona are actually for nudists, Barceloneta Beach and Nova Icaria are actually quite respectful and Muslim-friendly.
After all, more than 17% of the residents of Barcelona are Muslims.

You ask a random Moroccan about the best beach destinations, and the average answer you'll get is "You gotta visit the North, sister/brother."
As a Muslim country, Moroccan beaches are actually quite respectable. Many non-Muslims visit North Morocco for its beaches, but you rarely find any shocking sights.
The beaches of Al Hocema, Tetouan, Nador, El Jebha, and Martil are all perfect for sunbathing, chillaxing, and tasting iconic Moroccan grilled fish.

Tunisia is one of the most underrated travel destinations, which is good if you ask me. The reason is that it makes your trip to Tunisia a unique experience.
If you're a beach junkie, Tunisia is a must-go for lots of reasons. It's a Muslim country with top-notch beaches.
God has graced the people who live on the coasts of Tunisia because if they ever feel overwhelmed, they can cut the edge off with a trip to the nearby beach.

Cyprus is a natural wonder for fans of the Mediterranean climate. Everyone loves to trek the valleys and visit waterfalls in Cyprus, everyone also loves to explore all the rich historical sites.
