These are the most overcrowded beaches in the world
You'll have to fight for a spot at these beaches
La Pelosa

If you’re dreaming of a tranquil day by the sea, you may want to think twice before heading to some of the world’s most popular shores. According to a new study by Cloudwards, based on TripAdvisor reviews, several beaches that are famous for their beauty also rank among the most overcrowded. Researchers analyzed reviews for 200 of the world’s top beaches, focusing on complaint-related keywords like “dirty,” “overcrowded,” and “noise.” The results show that paradise can sometimes feel a little too packed.

Topping the list is La Pelosa in Sardinia, Italy, with 86.9% of reviewers citing issues with overcrowding. Known for its crystal-clear, Maldives-like waters and white sand, the beach draws thousands of visitors each summer, leaving little room to stretch out a towel. As one TripAdvisor user put it after visiting La Pelosa: “It was a weekday morning in mid-September, yet the crowds resembled central London or New York on New Year’s Eve.”
