Get Ready to Pack Your Bags, But Don't Forget Your Patience!
Ever dreamt of lounging on a sun-kissed beach, only to find it swarming with fellow vacationers? Well, unfortunately, it seems a growing number of us share that dream. A thorough examination by the Cloudwards platform revealed the world's most overrun beaches, based on thousands of reviews from TripAdvisor users.
To determine the serenity level of each beach, the research team scrutinized keywords such as 'crowded', 'packed', and 'too busy' in the comments section, measuring the percentage of comments highlighting an excess of people.
Using this technique, they compiled an international ranked list of tourist hotspots descending into chaos by the sea. Shockingly, most of these overcrowded gems can be found right here in good old Europe.
Take Italy, for instance. Europe's envy, boasting not three, but three overcrowded beaches. Spain follows closely, whipping up another three. Portugal also snagged a spot on this not-so-enviable list, placing Praia da Falésia, in the Algarve, in its esteemed company.
Praising Praia da Falésia for its size and breathtaking landscapes has become a bit of a broken record. However, the beach's increasing popularity has resulted in a cacophony of complaints about overcrowding, particularly during summer months.
It's not just Europe that's suffering, though. Beaches like Poipu Beach Park, in Hawaii, also find themselves in this challenging situation.
But don't sweat it if you find yourself in the midst of a hoard of tourists. Remember, every travel experience is story worth sharing. Despite its crowd-pleasing issues, these beaches remain some of the most popular destinations globally[1][2][3]. So buckle up, sunscreen on, and enjoy the chaos!
