I'll start. Simply because it's Sunday and I'm bored...

Group holidays - you couldn't drag me on one of these!! Hell

Festivals - the crowds, the hay fever, the sweat, overpriced everything, the constant queue for a rancid pop up toilet

Valentines Day - tacky, commercialised crap

Work Christmas Dos - I don't even bother going anymore. Too old to pretend I'm social

With you on most of these, although I do/did like clubs and dancing.
On beaches, just get thee to Croatia; there's hardly any sandy ones, nearly all rocks or pebbles. Beautiful clear water and no grittiness!

Ooo thanks, duly noted!

I love a walk on a sandy beach, just not sunbathing.

All the things you listed... my idea of hell. Any kind of forced ' fun' not crazy about Christmas either, just see through it all...
