Fun in the Sun! Beach Bars in the US and Europe

Dancing And Sand Were Made For Each Other

Woodstock 69 in Amsterdam

Woodstock 69 in Amsterdam

Comments  (12)

Jul 30, 2012 —  It’s been long proven that sunshine increases people’s levels of serotonin, a magical neurotransmitter that makes the brain feel happy. And so does beer, which is why we at Party Earth have such fondness for beach bars and their double-doses of happiness. Science is awesome!

What could be better than a couple of cold brews on a hot summer day while hanging out with beautiful and bronzed beach bodies, or late night mojitos where you and your new friend can sneak off for some skinny-dipping under the guise of darkness? According to our on-site analysts, the answer is nothing. They keep disappearing to the French Riviera or Ibiza for months on end every time they need to “research” one assignment.

Luckily, we tracked them down, pulled their gazes away from the topless women and sculpted abs baking in the Spanish sun, and compiled some of our favorite beach bars in the United States and Europe that are sure to please any and all beach-loving tastes.

    Princesa 23 Beach Bar

    Beach Bar

    Princesa 23 Beach Bar - Beach Bar in Barcelona.
    Despite being little more than shacks in the sand, Spain’s xiringuitos (beach bars) provide welcome refreshments and shade from the Mediterranean sun and are a beloved Spanish institution every bit as sacred as flamenco dancing, the Running of the Bulls, Pedro Almodóvar, paella, and topless sunbathing. Princesa 23 Beach Bar is probably the best of

    Badeschiff

    Beach / Beach Bar / Outdoor Activity

    Badeschiff - Beach | Beach Bar | Outdoor Activity in Berlin.
    Berliners have an obsession with beach bars – arising no doubt from the city’s distinct lack of a coastline to call its own – and one of the best of the bunch is Badeschiff, which contains an outdoor bar, concert venue, and swimming pool located on the banks of the Spree River. With just a minimal entrance fee, an international flock of sunbathers,

Matt Altman Aug 6, 2012 Not a beach bar, but when traveling through San Francisco, a trip over to Sam's Anchor Cafe in Tiburon is a must. Grab some drinks on the deck and take in the marina and San Francisco skyline.
Emily Becklund Aug 3, 2012 All of these are on my bucket list.
Sridevi Reddy Aug 1, 2012 7 more things to add to my bucket list!!
Deepak Jul 31, 2012 I'd choose Woodstock 69 anyday!
akiley Jul 31, 2012 The beach and a bar all in one place? What more could you ask for! Except for maybe free drinks...
sandip Jul 30, 2012 Ahhh the joy of summer!! All that's left is to ask my boss for a few days off and relax on the beaches of Malibu.
chrismorgan Jul 30, 2012 Castaways is always a good time and also a crowded, hot mess. But the people watching may be even better than out on North Ave. Beach. Or at least more concentrated.
Paula Peña Jul 30, 2012 There is bar called the Soggy Dollar in the Virgin Islands; It got its name because there are no harbors so you have to jump off the boat when you get close to the shore and swim to the bar and your money gets all wet.
Sam Altman Jul 30, 2012 Bora Bora is great after hitting club Space. But the best beach bars are in Mykonos. Hands down.
Kira Abe Jul 30, 2012 the wavehouse in Mission Beach, San Diego is such a fun venue!! Beach club by day, normal club by night. Every sunday during the summer is SunDaze, where you can day drink, party in the sand and catch some of your favorite DJs, including Madeon and Wolfgang Gartner. i'm sill recovering.
Danny Milner Jul 30, 2012 How about the sunset strip in Ibiza? Amazing sunsets right on the beach with calm, soothing music in the background.
Paul Feinstein Jul 30, 2012 Strandbar Mitte is another great beach bar in Berlin - they imported the sand.
