1. La Sagesse Bay, Grenada
\n\"Englishman's
\nGrenada\u2019s Grand Anse Bay is a huge tourist destination and thus, terrible for anyone hoping to enjoy a little beach privacy.
\nLa Sagesse Bay, on the other hand, is incredibly secluded, despite the fact that it lies just ten miles from the resorts of Grand Anse.
\nThere is a hotel and nature center located near La Sagesse Bay, but you\u2019ll see just a handful of sunbathers on the beach at any one time, as opposed to the constant hordes found at Grand Anse Bay.
\nAn even greater sense of seclusion can be obtained by exploring the hiking trails found throughout La Sagesse\u2019s nature center.
\nWhen looking for a cozy place to stay, most visitors opt to stay at La Sagesse Bay\u2019s hotel, as access to the beach is nearly impossible by car. Even though it is very isolated, this very private beach is just 30 minutes from the Maurice Bishop International Airport.
\nThere are only twelve rooms at the tiny resort, many of which are spread out in small buildings along the beach. Parents view this as an ideal Caribbean destination, as it is free of the seedier characters that populate Grand Anse. Even more important, the waters of La Sagesse are calm and shallow, making them perfect for exploration.
\nWhen you get hungry, you can enjoy the beauty of the ocean with their beautiful beachfront restaurant where they serve fresh fish and lobster, and grow their own vegetables. They also have special wedding packages for that couple looking to tie the knot, and this would be the ideal location for your special day.<\/p>\n

2. Rocktail Bay, South Africa
\n\"220\"
\nLocated within the Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, Rocktail Bay is incredibly difficult for tourists to access \u2013 but well worth the trip once you are there.
\nA trip to this gorgeous beach will require a series of flights, including the initial journey to Johannesburg, plus a second flight to the Richards Bay airport and a final trek via single-engine aircraft to KwaZulu-Natal.
\nAccommodations near Rocktail Bay are limited to a small eco-lodge with eleven tree house chalets. If you take the boardwalk from the lodge, you\u2019ll soon find yourself enjoying the peace and quiet of one of the world\u2019s most secluded beaches. The beach is actually many miles long, but it is natural and totally undeveloped.
\nRocktail Bay boasts some of the best diving in the world, but only one diving boat is allowed on the water at a time. This may create some level of inconvenience for visitors hoping to explore the depths of the gorgeous Maputaland Marine Reserve, but it also ensures that the beach always retains its sense of seclusion.
\nMore importantly, Rocktail Bay\u2019s diving policy preserves the pristine nature of the beach for years to come. Snorkeling may let you see beautiful creatures such as angelfish, butterfly fish, possibly rays, octopii, and even dolphins and whales.
\nWhether you\u2019re on the hunt for a diving expedition or simply would like to relax on a beautiful hidden beach, Rocktail Bay is definitely worth the travel hassle. Because it is on the verge of a large forest, you can also take drives into the forest in an open Land Rover, or take a great hike and go birding and see other wildlife.
\nDinners can be enjoyed indoors or under a large Natal Mahogany Tree.<\/p>\n

3. Wildcat Beach, California
\n\"317\"
\nThe 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.
\nWildcat Beach is among the most challenging in terms of navigation, as it cannot be reached without taking part in a nearly six mile hike.
\nThe 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.
\nBut 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\u2019re not in the mood for hiking, you can also access Wildcat Beach by bike, so long as you\u2019re willing to face a difficult seven mile journey.
\nWhether you prefer biking or hiking, you will definitely have to put in some work before you\u2019re rewarded with the secluded Wildcat Beach.
\nOnce you\u2019ve arrived at Wildcat Beach, you\u2019ll encounter over two miles of stunning natural shoreline. One of the beach\u2019s most popular features is its lovely Alamere Falls, which is 40-feet high and drops down to the beach. Nearby, you\u2019ll also encounter Wildcat Lake, from which you can enjoy amazing views of the beach.
\nWildcat 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.<\/p>\n

4. Smuggler\u2019s Cove, Greece
\n\"418\"
\nOtherwise referred to as Navagio Beach, Smuggler\u2019s Cove is a huge tourist destination, and a place you need to see.
\nAfter all, the beach is home to a stunning cliff-top view of the Mediterranean, and there is an impressive shipwreck on the beach that is from nearly three decades ago.
\nThe traditional beauty of the Greek seashore is also apparent at Smuggler\u2019s Cove, with visitors marveling at the beautiful white sand, the amazing blue water and the impressive limestone cliffs.
\nThose cliffs attract quite a few BASE jumpers, who use parachutes to break their falls as they hurtle themselves from the lookout point into the waves below.
\nThe reason for the sense of seclusion attributed to Smuggler\u2019s Cove is its inaccessibility. To get there, visitors must hire boat tours. These guided trips typically depart from the harbor of Zakynthos and, when all is said and done, it can cost visitors a pretty penny.
\nBut many would argue that the expense is more than worthwhile, as a boat tour can allow tourists to escape the usual crazy beaches of Greece in favor of a destination that is simultaneously wild, intimate, and very isolated.
\nYou will want to take a hat or umbrella, and some sunscreen, because in the middle of the day there is no shade and the sun can be quite hot. If you want to enjoy fewer people on the tour, the best time to go would be in either May or November.<\/p>\n

5. Ko Adang, Thailand
\n\"Kho
\nLocals regard Ko Adang as one of the last destinations still undiscovered by the average tourist.
\nInstead of fighting for a few square feet of space on one of Thailand\u2019s peak season beaches, consider making your way to Ko Adang, where you\u2019ll find an experience that is one hundred percent different from what you\u2019d encounter at the more popular Ko Lipe.
\nKo Adang is an island that is part of the Tarutao National Park, which is home to several challenging hiking trails. It is a popular destination among naturalists, as its secluded nature allows bird watchers to scout for local species in peace.
\nIf you\u2019re not interested in hiking or bird watching, there\u2019s still plenty to keep you occupied at Ko Adang. If you\u2019re a fan of snorkeling or scuba diving, you should encounter plenty of opportunities for partaking in both activities. There are many untouched colorful coral reefs just off the shore, which many snorkelers enjoy viewing.
\nOtherwise, if you\u2019re feeling lazy, you can always enjoy relaxing on the destination\u2019s sandy beach. Two waterfalls are not far away that can be reached by hiking. Your ears will enjoy a sense of quiet rarely encountered in Thailand, while your eyes will be party to a gorgeous view of the emerald Andaman Sea. There are no roads on Ko Adang, but you can rent one of several rather new bungalows on the beach.<\/p>\n
