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.
In the south of Majorca in Cala Mondrago, Santanyi is a completely natural beach in a National Park, with plenty of bird species to admire including the white crane. Another beach in the south boasting expanses of white sand dunes is Es Trenc, Salobar en Campos. It can become busy in the summer months, however if you stroll about 10 minutes either way from the car park, it becomes the magical and secluded getaway you're looking for.
Majorca's sister island Menorca is home to several deserted beaches. Cales Coves Beach features around 100 burial caves, making it slightly different from your average beach and great for exploring. Cala Macarella Beach on the south coast is an undeveloped cove surrounded by cliffs covered in pine trees. There is a wetland opposite, where you'll be able to spot sea turtles and eels. The ocean is a sparkling azure colour with soft currents; despite this it often remains deserted. Cala Mitjana is a natural and quiet spot, with little facilities on offer. This means it's often secluded so you can relax in peace and enjoy the good swimming and snorkeling conditions.
Tenerife can often be overrun with British tourists, and consequently so can the beaches. However, if you know where to look, there are some beautiful and undiscovered beaches in the area.
Playa de las Gavitos is a black sand beach, and is great for those wanting something between completely deserted and crowded with tourists. 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. The beach is also popular with nudists, so be warned!
