Secret Beaches

The modern world doesn’t have many secrets anymore, especially in today’s digital age. These closely guarded secrets have remained that way due to people actively hiding them. I’m here to spill the beans and let the world know about these amazing clandestine spots. Whether it’s been kept under wraps because of its exclusivity or it’s physically difficult to reach, these beaches are wonderfully untouched.

I’m letting you know about these not so you can ruin them by overpopulating them, but to educate you about the vast beauty still left on our developed planet. The world is moving and change at such a fast pace that it’s actually remarkable that so many untouched marvels still exist on our wonderful world.

Money hungry developers or hoteliers haven’t ruined these secret beaches; instead the locals have preserved their innocence and unspoiled beauty.

Lord Howe Island, Australia

Possibly the most exclusive of all secret beaches, Lord Howe Island is a real paradise lost type of place. The island is home to around 300 locals and the number of tourists are capped at 400 at any time.   Talk about exclusive, only 700 people are allowed on the island and the locals aren’t budging.   The islands beauty is only matched by its secretiveness.

Cayucos, California

A secret beach in California, the mega populated golden state, that doesn’t sound possible. Well, it is and it’s a secret that deserves telling. As locals refer to it, Cayucos-by-the-sea is a cozy beach town 200 miles north of Los Angeles. The central coast in general is a well-kept secret with the super popular southern California beaches getting all the attention.   The Cayucos pier is popular among fisherman and the town is home to local artists and surfers. You’ll love the old California charm that has been eroded from most of the overdeveloped state.

Polihale Beach, Kauai

The end of the island, literally. The island of Kauai, known as the garden state, is Hawaii’s least populated of the four main islands. Polihale beach is only accessible by a bumpy dirt road and is considered Hawaii’s most remote. The secret beach is nestled next to the Na Pali Coastline, a rugged and unreachable by car region, most notably known for the beginning scene of Jurassic Park. The pure majesty of the Na Pali Coast jagged and steep cliffs matched with the massive secluded beach make Polihale a magical secret.

Anse Source d’Argent, Seychelles

Seychelles has long been known as one of the most exclusive vacation destinations and Anse Source d’Argent is no exception. A pure unspoiled archipelago, this island is one of the closets things you’ll get to a deserted island. No resorts in sight and only a few bungalows to rent, this secret is well kept. The perfect weather, pink sand beaches and crystal clear waters await only the select few travelers.   The offshore reef makes swimming divine and the on shore giant tortoise population will make you forget the modern world altogether.

Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam

Anyone can tell you that Southeast Asia has the best secret beaches, but will they tell you about Phu Quoc Island? Probably not, since Phu Quoc is seriously a secret. It’s much closer to Cambodia than mainland Vietnam, Phu Quoc is a pristine wonderland. The popular 12-mile beach Bai Truong is villa lined and desolate. The palm trees are a perfect buffer to the lush jungles just inland. Feel like there is no one left on Earth on this secluded beach.

Find your paradise, but don’t tell anyone, let us keep it a secret.
