6 Must Visit Hidden Beaches Around The World

A hidden beach is a landform along the shoreline of an ocean, sea, lake or river that is difficult to access because of its remoteness or because the surrounding terrain is inaccessible. Hidden beaches are increasingly being sought out by tourists who want to spend time away from the crowd they live with everyday. Here are some of the best hidden beaches from around the world.

# Honopu Beach, Hawaii, USA

It doesn't get anymore secluded and remote than Honopu Beach on Kauai's Na Pali Coast. No road or even a hiking trail leads to it. In fact, the only legal way to access it is to swim to it. Honopu actually consists of two beaches, which are backed by majestic 1200-foot (365 m) high sea cliffs and separated by the Honopu arch. Around the corner is a large waterfall, cascading down the sea cliff, through the arch and into the ocean.

# Navagio Beach, Greece

Navagio Beach or the Shipwreck, is an isolated sandy cove on Zakynthos Island and one of the most famous and most photographed beaches in Greece. Navagio Beach is often referred to as the Shipwreck Beach or just simply “The Shipwreck” because it is home to the wreck of a ship called Panagiotis that is believed to have been a smugglers ship. The presence of alleged smugglers ship gave Navagio Beach yet another nick name – Smugglers Cove.

# Zlatni Rat, Croatia

Zlatni Rat (Golden Cape) is a narrow white pebble beach on a promontory near Bol, located 2 km (1.25mi) west of Bol harbour, on the southern coast of the island of Brač, Croatia.

The shape of the beach shifts with the changes in tide, currents and wind, veering out into the sea 634 m (2.080ft) long. A reliable afternoon westerly wind known as a Maestral, together with clear and somewhat cool water make the beach a destination for windsurfers.

# Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Whitehaven Beach is a definite "must-see" in the Whitsundays. The crystal clear aqua waters and pristine silica sand of Whitehaven stretch over seven kilometres (4.3mi) along Whitsunday Island , the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays. It defines nature at its best and provides the greatest sense of relaxation and escape. At the northern end of Whitehaven Beach is Hill Inlet, a stunning cove where the tide shifts the sand and water to create a beautiful fusion of colours. As the tide shifts, the white silica sand and turquoise shades of the inlet blend seamlessly to create a breathtaking view of swirling Whitsunday colours.

# Cala d’en Serra, Spain

Cala d’en Serra is a beach in the northern part of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is in the municipality of Sant Joan de Labritja and is 4.3 miles (6.9 km) north of the village of Sant Joan de Labritja, and 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the beach resort of Portinatx.
