Playa Parguito, Isla Margarita, Venezuela
Not a lot of tourists in Jan/Feb. Nice places to have a snack or a drink. You can even take a lesson in surfing!
Loved the fact that it was away from the highly touristic areas of the island.

I really loves Tonsai Beach in Krabi Thailand. Although I hear they are bulldozing the whole beach for a new resort. Sad.

Tulum Playa is a great stretch of soft, white sand. No resorts or hotels, just small cabanas and restaurants with varying levels of "rustic-ness." You can walk right into the water - no daunting currents on most days. Beautiful and totally relaxing.

I really like the long beaches in Nice. Though some small uncrowded places in a bit more remote locations like Llfranc can be cool.
