You could try a diamond square algorithm or perlin noise to generate something like a height map. Then, assign ranges values to what shows up on the map. If your "height" goes from 0 to 100, then make 0 - 20 water, 20 - 30 beach, 30 - 80 grass, 80 - 100 mountains. I think notch did something similar to this in minicraft, but I'm not an expert, I'm just in a diamond square mindset after finally getting it working.

I haven't actually tried this but it was inspired by David Johnstone's answer regarding tectonic plates. I tried implementing it myself in my old Civ project and when it came to handling collisions I had another idea. Instead of generating tiles directly, each continent consists of nodes. Distribute mass to each node then generate a series of "blob" continents using a 2D metaball approach. Tectonics and continental drift would be ridiculously easy to "fake" simply by moving the nodes around. Depending on how complex you want to go, you could even apply things like currents to handle the node movement and generate mountain ranges that correspond to plate boundaries overlapping. Probably wouldn't add that much to the gameplay side of things, but it could make for an interesting map generation from a purely academic perspective :)

A good explanation of metaballs if you haven't worked with them before:

I'd suggest you back up and
1. Think about what makes "good" continents.
2. Write an algorithm that can tell a good continental layout from a bad one.
3. Refine the algorithm so that you can quantify how good a good layout is.
Once you have that in place, you can start to implement an algorithm which should be shaped like this:
- Generate crappy continents and then improve them.
For improvement you can try all sorts of standard optimization tricks, whether it's simulated annealing, genetic programming, or something completely ad hoc, like moving a randomly chosen edge square from whereever it is on the continent to the edge opposite the continent's center of mass. But the key is to be able to write a program that can tell good continents from bad ones. Start out with hand-drawn continents as well as your test continents, until you get something you like.

I'd place fractal terrain according to some layout that you know "works" (e.g. 2x2 grid, diamond, etc, with some jitter) but with a Gaussian distribution damping peaks down towards the edges of the continent centers. Place the water level lower so that is mostly land until you get near the edges.

I've created something similar to your first image in JavaScript. It's not super sophisticated but it works :

You could take a cue from nature and modify your second idea. Once you generate your continents (which are all about the same size), get them to randomly move and rotate and collide and deform each other and drift apart from each other. (Note: this may not be the easiest thing ever to implement.)

Edit: Here's another way of doing it, complete with an implementation — Polygonal Map Generation for Games.
