5 Worst Beaches In Europe That Should Be Avoided To Visit

JAKARTA - Although beaches in Europe are known for their beauty, not all locations provide a pleasant experience. Some beaches are even better known for their uncomfortable atmosphere, too crowded, or other bad reputations.

Here are some beaches in Europe that you should avoid, according to a report from The Telegraph, as reported by VOI from the mirror.co.uk page on Monday, January 20, 2025.

Located on the border between Spain and Gibraltar, the coast has a large coastline. Unfortunately, this beach view is disrupted by the largest oil refinery on the Iberian Peninsula as well as a tanker milling about on the horizon. La L sajanea is also known as one of the cities with a high crime rate.

One of the reviews on TripAdvisor warned, "Be careful at La L Wayea. At night, street crime is the favorite sport of local youth, with tourists being an easy target. One of our friends came home with a stick because he was robbed and chased, while others got black eyes after being asked for money. Stay in the city center, avoid getting drunk, and use taxis."

Laganas Beach is located in the Laganas Strip area, Zante, Greece, where visitors want to go to parties. During the summer, this one-mile long beach was filled with young tourists who came to enjoy bars, restaurants, and nightclubs.

Although there are some visitors who enjoy beauty. However, many are reluctant to visit again, because the reputation of this beach is the location of the party.

A reviewer at TripAdvisor wrote, "Poor, full of trash, nightmares for the family. Everything is too expensive, hotel staff are very unfriendly. Not going back or recommending, this experience makes us go back to Greece."

Formerly a fishing village, Albufeira is now one of the busy beach resorts in Portugal. Unfortunately, this beach is filled with bars, nightclubs, and cheap accommodation in the form of tall buildings that are not pleasing to the eye.

Praia da Oura Beach is located at the end of The Strip, often filled with visitors trying to recover from last night's party. As a result, the beach atmosphere is more suitable for those looking for entertainment than calm.

Ploke Beach is located between Dubrovnik and Split, but the atmosphere here is far from expectations. Surrounded by the outdated petrochemical port terminal and wheat silo, the beach is considered less attractive than other locations in Croatia.

A TripAdvisor visitor wrote, "This beach is disappointing. As a couple in their late 30s without children, we don't recommend this place for a relaxing vacation, especially because there are many other beautiful beaches in Croatia. The atmosphere is more like Coney Island with lots of carnival rides and fast food stalls."

About 64 km from Antalya, Kemer has a beach filled with large pebbles and is often crowded with visitors. If you're looking for a quiet place, this beach may not be the best option.

In addition, this rocky beach is not suitable for picnics or children's playgrounds. For tourists who want a peaceful atmosphere, it is advisable to find a hidden beach behind the Kemer cliffs.
