France - avoid the beaches in August when everyone there has holidays at the same time.
Netherlands - beach resort area west of Amsterdam called Zandvoort IIRC. You can rent little beach cottages there.
Greece - I don't recall any typical beaches at Santorini - it is a very steep rim of a collapsed volcano. I would suggest taking the ferry to different islands in the Cyclades - Naxos, Paros, Folegandros. Ios is a party island for young scandanavians. Mykynos is a big gay destination.
Mallorca (Spain) is the more resortish beach destination for European tourists.
Expect to see much nudity at Euro beaches, and dudes in Speedos.
