20 Of The World’s Most Secluded (And Beautiful) Beaches

3. Wildcat Beach, California

The Point Reyes National Seashore boasts a wide array of secluded beaches, many of which are impossible to reach by car and incredibly difficult to navigate by foot or watercraft.
Wildcat Beach is among the most challenging in terms of navigation, as it cannot be reached without taking part in a nearly six mile hike.
The advantage of the effort needed to get to the beach will be rewarded because the long walk is more than enough to weed out the vast majority of would-be visitors.
But if you were already looking for a difficult day hike, Wildcat Beach serves as a truly amazing halfway point before you begin your journey back to civilization. If you’re not in the mood for hiking, you can also access Wildcat Beach by bike, so long as you’re willing to face a difficult seven mile journey.
Whether you prefer biking or hiking, you will definitely have to put in some work before you’re rewarded with the secluded Wildcat Beach.
Once you’ve arrived at Wildcat Beach, you’ll encounter over two miles of stunning natural shoreline. One of the beach’s most popular features is its lovely Alamere Falls, which is 40-feet high and drops down to the beach. Nearby, you’ll also encounter Wildcat Lake, from which you can enjoy amazing views of the beach.
Wildcat Camp is also located near the beach, offering a handful of relatively secluded campsites for anyone looking to stay the night before taking the long trail back from Wildcat Beach. Before staying here, you will need to make reservations in advance.
