When on holiday, many of us just want to get away from it all, so crowded beaches are a bit of a no-no. We've tracked down some of the more secluded beaches that are ideal for relaxing on in the sun.
With plenty of bird species to admire including the white crane, Santanyi is a completely natural beach in a National Park, located in the south of Majorca in Cala Mondrago. Es Trenc, Salobar en Campos is another beach in the south boasting expanses of white sand dunes. During the summer months, it can be quite busy, but if you take a short walk about 10 minutes either way from the car park, it becomes the magical and secluded getaway you're looking for.
Menorca, the sister island of Majorca, is also home to various deserted beaches. With little facilities on offer, Cala Mitjana is a natural and quiet spot and is often secluded meaning you can relax in peace and enjoy the good swimming and snorkeling conditions. Cales Coves Beach features around 100 burial caves, making it slightly different from your average beach and great for exploring. Located on the south coast, Cala Macarella Beach is an undeveloped cove surrounded by cliffs covered in pine trees. You'll be able to spot sea turtles and eels in the wetland opposite.
The beaches in Tenerife can often be overrun with British holidaymakers. If you know the best places to head to though, there are many beautiful and undiscovered beaches in the area.
Perfect for those wanting something between completely deserted and crowded with tourists, Playa de las Gavitos is a black sand beach. This beach is also popular with nudists, so be warned! There are some water sport facilities, but not so much it's disruptive to a relaxing day, and a few kiosks where you can replenish yourself with food and drink.
