Are there places by the sea in Southern Europe that look like this? - eviltoast

This is from Denmark. I think UK and Ireland also have similar looking scenes with those long grasses, sandy beaches and rolling hills. I wonder, though if there’s such place somewhere in Southern Europe because it’s closer to me. All I’ve found around the Black Sea and the Mediterranean are more arid landscapes and the grasses aren’t as long usually. Obviously I don’t expect to get the same architecture, it’s more about the grass, sandy beaches and small hills.
