Every summer, Mediterranean hotspots fill with so many umbrellas you can barely see the sand. Although places like the French Riviera are beautiful, the lack of space to set down a beach towel is a turnoff to many visitors. If you\u2019re looking for a bit more relaxation in your next Mediterranean vacation, head to one of these under the radar beach destinations.<\/p>\n

Delimara Peninsula, Malta<\/h3>\n

Escape the busy beaches found in other parts of Europe, and even Malta<\/a>, and head to the far southeast corner of this island nation. The best wayto explore this little gem is to rent a car and drive yourself to the Delimara Peninsula. Throughout the coastal drive, there are plenty of little swim spots to break up the drive with some sunshine and salt water. One of the most famous pull-offs is Peter\u2019s Pool where limestone cliffs give way to warm turquoise waters. The pool is a great place to spend a few hours taking in the dramatic sights and cliff diving for the adventurous. A popular place to stay while visiting the region is the traditional fishing village of Marsaxlokk\u00a0with its harbor full of colorful boats.<\/p>\n

Hvar Croatia<\/h3>\n

When first arriving at the island of Hvar<\/a> most\u00a0notice one of two things, the impressive white stone buildings or the stunning turquoise waters. Both have something in common, they have the naturally bright white limestone to thank for their beauty. The bright white sand and rock on the sea floor reflect the sun\u2019s light and make the water look reminiscent of the Caribbean. In the harbor, the small boats almost appear to be floating in mid-air the water is so clear. Hvar\u2019s long history and stunning natural beauty means it won\u2019t stay a secret forever.<\/p>\n

Chia, Sardinia<\/h3>\n

At the southern tip of Sardinia lies a long stretch of pristine bays and the quiet village of Chia<\/a>. Besides being relatively devoid of tourists, the sand has a unique pinkish cast, especially when wetted by the crystal clear waters of the Med. Besides the natural beauty, this area has a long history dating back several centuries BC including sites left behind by the\u00a0Phoenician people. If all that\u2019s not enough to pay a visit to Chia, the inland lagoons are full of colorful flamingos!<\/p>\n

Bol, Croatia<\/h3>\n

A beach this unique won\u2019t stay under the radar too much longer. The dramatic pointed shape of this stunning beach in Bol<\/a> is the main draw for tourists visiting the area. Its\u00a0name is Zlatni Rat, or Golden Cape, and it stretches over a quarter mile into the beautiful waters that surround the island. Although this particular beach has got the attention in the past couple of years from beach aficionados, there are still many other bays on the island you can have just about to yourself. In addition to just lounging, the strong currents and winds that formed this beach also make for some top rate windsurfing.<\/p>\n

Formentera, Spain<\/h3>\n

If you didn\u2019t know any better you\u2019d think you were in the Caribbean rather than Spain while visiting Formentera.<\/a> The white sands and turquoise waters might not be what you expect in the middle of the Mediterranean but this hidden gem is just a short boat ride from Ibiza. Like most places in the world, there are some parts of the island that are starting to catch on with visitors.\u00a0Migjorn Beach is one of those places with a nice piece of sand and colorful waters. However,\u00a0you can still always find a quiet spot on the beach.<\/p>\n
