European beach break recommendations - quiet locations

[GetawayCar]

I’m looking for a European beach location.

Ideally quiet, soft sand not pebbles or grit. Even better if no sunbeds, and no facilities! Hard to reach and remote is fine.

We’ve loved south Corsica, enjoyed Sardinia and found spots in Corfu and Portugal on the Atlantic coast that fit this description but are looking for somewhere else for next year.

Any suggestions please!

Porquerolles (an island off southern France) has some gorgeous, quiet beaches. The ones with the nicest sand are Silver Beach and Argent Beach. My favourite beach was Norte Dame which is lined with pine trees and the water is turquoise and transparent. It took about 30 mins on foot from the village to reach the beach.

Just a quick question where in Portugal did you find. I went to Algarve about 6 years ago I want to go back to Portugal but different location maybe

Odeceixe and the coast south of that. Some quiet pockets.

Porquerolles looks lovely although can’t find the accommodation we’d want (villa and pool within 45 min drive of a nice beach; obviously as a small island we wouldn’t have to drive that far, that’s just a general requirement!).
