"Tropical beach" in continental Europe?

If you’re looking for warm weather, crystalline water and amazing scenery I would suggest either Corsica or Sardinia. Corsica has wonderful beaches in the north western and southern part of the island. In the north Ficajola comes to mind although the island is amazing all around. In Sardinia the Costa Smeralda in the north is famous for it’s stunning emerald green waters: take Baja Sardinia as an example. Prices there will be on the high end though.

If you’re looking for something that doesn’t involve a ferry, the south western part of Puglia, namely Salento, has some pretty nice beaches too. Setting aside the natural parc of Porto Selvaggio, there’s also a place called the Maldives of Salento which kinda lives up to its name water and sand wise. Finally there’s a similar place in Liguria, namely the beaches in Spotorno just next to the Isola di Bergeggi where the water is crystal clear reminding you of the tropics.

May I suggest Tropical Islands Resort, in Germany? This is an indoor tropical environment, with beach, rainforest and accommodation, just 60km from Berlin.

The island of Rügen has very nice sand beaches, for example between Glowe and Altenkirchen. It’s also very very close to Poland. Houses and appartments can easily be rented and the available infrastructure is splendid.

The only downside is that temperatures don’t compare to tropical regions. We had weeks with 30°C and very sunny stretches in the summer, but it being an island in the Baltic Sea, the weather can act up. So you might study its weather reports before going there and possibly getting a rainy week.

Plenty of places by the Mediterranean have sandy beaches. Northern Italy, near Venice, has some sandy beaches, and is even closer to you than Croatia. There will be villas for rent. However the area is fairly crowded, which may not satisfy your definition of ‘tropical’.

The further south you go the more ‘tropical’ it gets. Greece is another good choice, and a boat ride will get you to an island where you can have a bit more privacy. Turkey is also an option if you don’t mind going a bit further.

I believe the Russians find their tropical beaches on the Black Sea, but you may think of that as ‘tropical’ only if you’re from Siberia.

I would assume “tropical beach” you mean tropical like beaches with warm sunny days?
Apparently the beaches near Catania, Sicily in Italy are very good and they are pretty warm during summer and some of them are long stretch and have private beaches too.
