Many of us just want to get away from it all when on holiday, so crowded beaches are a bit of a no-no. Ideal for a relaxing break in the sun, we've tracked down some of the more secluded beaches.
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.
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.
British tourists can often overrun the island of Tenerife, which makes the beaches busy. There are some beautiful and undiscovered beaches in the area though if you know where to look.
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.
