10 Hidden Beaches Around The World You Need To Know About

Often referred to as Smuggler's Cove, this sandy destination is lodged between two huge limestone cliffs. It's famous for having a three-decade-old shipwreck smack-dab in the middle of it that tourists can explore when they get tired of laying out.

Even though this natural cave is only accessible by water, it's worth the trip. It features a natural occurring oculus on top of a secluded beach and is a mesmerizing sight to see when the sun illuminates it from above.

You'd think visitors would flock to this beach to see the sand turn pink when it gets wet, but since there are no facilities nearby (yikes) it's often not as crowded as other popular shores.

The nickname of this waterfront is "Secret Beach," which says it all. It's located on the north shore of the island of Kauai and is a favorite of locals, in part because no public roads lead to it.

You might notice that there's a lot of land surrounding this beach — so how do you actually get to this wonder? You have to swim underwater through a short tunnel that connects to the hidden beach.

Even though Florida is basically known for its busy beaches, this one is only accessible by boat or plane and is 70 miles off the shore of Key West. Needless to say, it's a welcome refuge from the crowds.

If you're wondering why this beautiful escape isn't more popular, it is. But tourists are capped at 400 to prevent it from becoming overpopulated. As a result, the island is super low-key and most people travel by bicycle.

You have to take a tour boat to this island beach, but it's worth the trip: The sand is insanely white and considered to be some of the purest in the world and the clear, turquoise water only makes it more stunning.

Sometimes the reason a beach is secluded is as simple as being far enough away from tourist hot spots. Such is the case for this quaint spot near a fishing village, which is only frequented by people lucky enough to get a tip from a local.

Located off of the Yucatan Peninsula, visitors have to take a ferry or boat to this Nature Preserve. Once you're there, you'll feel like you went back in time, as the tiny island doesn't have cars (only golf carts), ATMS or popular chains.
