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.
Es Trenc, Salobar en Campos is a beach in the south of Majorca boasting expanses of white sand dunes. It can become busy in the summer months, however if you take a short stroll about 10 minutes either way from the car park, it becomes the magical and secluded getaway you're looking for. Alternatively, Santanyi is a completely natural beach in a National Park, located in the south of Majorca in Cala Mondrago. Plenty of bird species can be admired here including the white crane.
Several deserted beaches can also be found in Majorca's sister island of Menorca. Making it slightly different from your average beach and great for exploring, Cales Coves Beach features around 100 burial caves. An undeveloped cove surrounded by cliffs covered in pine trees, Cala Macarella Beach can be found on the south coast. You'll be able to spot sea turtles and eels on the wetland opposite. The ocean is a sparkling azure colour with soft currents, although it often remains deserted. 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.
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.
The black sandy beach of Playa de las Gavitos is ideal for anyone wanting something between completely deserted and crowded with tourists. Water sports facilities are available, but they won't disrupt tour relaxing day, while there are also a few kiosks where you can replenish yourself with food and drink. Be warned though - the beach is also popular with nudists.
