But not all beaches are brimming with tourists. A new study from low-cost airline Wizz Air has identified the least crowded beaches in Europe.

Using a unique methodology, Wizz Air analyzed top beaches across more than 50 European countries. By calculating beach size, dividing it by the area of a beach towel, and then factoring in average daily visitor numbers, they were able to estimate how much space each visitor typically has.
