<\/p>\n
It\u2019s strictly sand and sea along this 5-mile coastline. Dotted with private beach homes, Sandbridge Beach offers a calm and quiet respite from the more crowded Virginia coastal destinations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n2. Cumberland Island, Georgia<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cumberland-Island-Georgia.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Wild horses, armadillos, and deer roam freely on this protected barrier island along the Eastern Seaboard. Riding the ferry is the only way to visit the unspoiled wildlife habitat of this virtually unknown beach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Flickr via David Brooks<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nKauapea\u2014sometimes called Secret Beach\u2014is a coveted beach tucked between Kilauea Point and Kalihiwai Bay. Accessible via a steep 15-minute hike, the vast beach features tidal pools and a waterfall that overlooks the sea. The rough surf can cause dangerous conditions, so take caution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n4. Monta\u00f1a de Oro State Park, California<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Montaa-de-Oro-State-Park-California.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to leave crowds, noise, and civilization behind at the quiet coastal trails that lead down to the water at this state park. Spread out a blanket on the sand below and settle in for a front-row view of the sunset without any distractions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n5. Rockport, Texas<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Rockport-Texas.jpg\")

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nTexas might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of beaches, but Rockport may change your mind. Calm and clean, this scenic swath of sand hugs Aransas Bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n6. Kiawah Island, South Carolina<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Kiawah-Island-South-Carolina.jpg\")
<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThis Charleston island features 10 miles of pristine coastline, where you\u2019ll find yourself sharing the beach with only turtles and seabirds. Its hushed atmosphere invites you to unwind and listen to the waves crash gently on the shore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n7. Salt Creek Beach, California<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Salt-Creek-Beach-California.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The long walk down the staircase to Salt Creek Beach is well worth the trek to this hot spot. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the beach serves up brag-worthy views, and the sandy strip is large enough not to worry about sharing elbow space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n8. Bandon State Natural Area, Oregon<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Bandon-State-Natural-Area-Oregon.jpg\")

Magnificent sea stacks jut out of the sand at this tranquil ocean oasis. Beachcomb and search for seals basking in the sunshine on the seaside rocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe story goes, this beach was once so isolated that only lovers made the effort to seek out the hideaway. Today the island strip is more easily accessible, but it still retains a secret feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n10. Garrapata State Park, California<\/a><\/h2>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Garrapata-State-Park-California.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The epitome of California dreamin\u2019, this beach sits on the northern end of Big Sur. The waters are too rough for swimming, but the rugged bluffs, coves, and caves are more than enough to hold your interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
11. Cayo Costa State Park, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\nOnly accessible by boat and helicopter, this Gulf Coast gem is your very own deserted island. The practically untouched shoreline is laden with seashells, and you won\u2019t find a single restaurant or store in sight.<\/p>\n
12. Carova Beach, North Carolina<\/a><\/h2>\nWith no paved roads leading to Carova, this beach hideaway in the northern Outer Banks is only accessible by 4x4s. In fact, it\u2019s such a remote beach that wild mustangs gallop along its shoreline.<\/p>\n
13. Roque Bluffs State Park, Maine<\/a><\/h2>\nChilly water laps on the shores of Roque Bluffs, a half-mile stretch that shoulders Englishman Bay. The secluded pebble beach, virtually unknown to the masses, offers you a private utopia to watch the sunrise.<\/p>\n
14. Fort Morgan, Alabama<\/a><\/h2>\nThis relatively secret seaside spot is surrounded by the Fort Morgan stone fortress on Alabama\u2019s Gulf Coast. The serene stretch, which is void of commercial property and beach rentals, serves up a view of the Sand Island Lighthouse and ships cruising over to Mobile.<\/p>\n
15. Cherry Beach, Michigan<\/a><\/h2>\nDriftwood is scattered along Cherry Beach; a small plot of sand that overlooks Lake Michigan. This coastal freshwater region has preserved its natural beauty and is free of swarms of beachgoers.<\/p>\n
16. Santa Rosa Beach, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\nWhen it comes to finding a secret paradise, Santa Rosa Beach comes pretty darn close. With its Caribbean-like turquoise waters and empty stretches, it gives off private island vibes.<\/p>\n
17. Duck, North Carolina<\/a><\/h2>\nWhen compared to other beaches in the area, Duck flies most under the radar. Because there are no hotels or resorts\u2014only rental homes\u2014on the coast, this beach preserves a sense of solitude.<\/p>\n
18. Dyer Prince Beach, Massachusetts<\/a><\/h2>\nDiscover the hidden pathway to the calm waters of Dyer Prince Beach on Cape Cod Bay. The Eastham beach is known for its empty tidal flats, where the local fowl like to flock. When it comes to the best hidden beaches on the Cape, it\u2019s just you and the birds.<\/p>\n
19. Covert Park Beach, Michigan<\/a><\/h2>\nAnother Lake Michigan shoreline made the list, but this one\u2019s located a tad farther north. Off the beaten path, Covert Park delivers placid waters and an undisturbed sandy strip.<\/p>\n
20. Bean Point, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\nFlorida has a knack for preserving secret areas along its coastline and Bean Point is another sweet spot. Sitting on the tip of Anna Maria Island, the sugary beach and clear waters continue to evade the masses.<\/p>\n

16. Santa Rosa Beach, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\nWhen it comes to finding a secret paradise, Santa Rosa Beach comes pretty darn close. With its Caribbean-like turquoise waters and empty stretches, it gives off private island vibes.<\/p>\n
17. Duck, North Carolina<\/a><\/h2>\nWhen compared to other beaches in the area, Duck flies most under the radar. Because there are no hotels or resorts\u2014only rental homes\u2014on the coast, this beach preserves a sense of solitude.<\/p>\n
18. Dyer Prince Beach, Massachusetts<\/a><\/h2>\nDiscover the hidden pathway to the calm waters of Dyer Prince Beach on Cape Cod Bay. The Eastham beach is known for its empty tidal flats, where the local fowl like to flock. When it comes to the best hidden beaches on the Cape, it\u2019s just you and the birds.<\/p>\n
19. Covert Park Beach, Michigan<\/a><\/h2>\nAnother Lake Michigan shoreline made the list, but this one\u2019s located a tad farther north. Off the beaten path, Covert Park delivers placid waters and an undisturbed sandy strip.<\/p>\n
20. Bean Point, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\nFlorida has a knack for preserving secret areas along its coastline and Bean Point is another sweet spot. Sitting on the tip of Anna Maria Island, the sugary beach and clear waters continue to evade the masses.<\/p>\n

Texas might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think of beaches, but Rockport may change your mind. Calm and clean, this scenic swath of sand hugs Aransas Bay.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
6. Kiawah Island, South Carolina<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThis Charleston island features 10 miles of pristine coastline, where you\u2019ll find yourself sharing the beach with only turtles and seabirds. Its hushed atmosphere invites you to unwind and listen to the waves crash gently on the shore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n7. Salt Creek Beach, California<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The long walk down the staircase to Salt Creek Beach is well worth the trek to this hot spot. Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the beach serves up brag-worthy views, and the sandy strip is large enough not to worry about sharing elbow space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n8. Bandon State Natural Area, Oregon<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Magnificent sea stacks jut out of the sand at this tranquil ocean oasis. Beachcomb and search for seals basking in the sunshine on the seaside rocks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n9. Lovers Key State Park, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nThe story goes, this beach was once so isolated that only lovers made the effort to seek out the hideaway. Today the island strip is more easily accessible, but it still retains a secret feel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n10. Garrapata State Park, California<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
The epitome of California dreamin\u2019, this beach sits on the northern end of Big Sur. The waters are too rough for swimming, but the rugged bluffs, coves, and caves are more than enough to hold your interest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
11. Cayo Costa State Park, Florida<\/a><\/h2>\nOnly accessible by boat and helicopter, this Gulf Coast gem is your very own deserted island. The practically untouched shoreline is laden with seashells, and you won\u2019t find a single restaurant or store in sight.<\/p>\n
12. Carova Beach, North Carolina<\/a><\/h2>\nWith no paved roads leading to Carova, this beach hideaway in the northern Outer Banks is only accessible by 4x4s. In fact, it\u2019s such a remote beach that wild mustangs gallop along its shoreline.<\/p>\n
13. Roque Bluffs State Park, Maine<\/a><\/h2>\nChilly water laps on the shores of Roque Bluffs, a half-mile stretch that shoulders Englishman Bay. The secluded pebble beach, virtually unknown to the masses, offers you a private utopia to watch the sunrise.<\/p>\n
14. Fort Morgan, Alabama<\/a><\/h2>\nThis relatively secret seaside spot is surrounded by the Fort Morgan stone fortress on Alabama\u2019s Gulf Coast. The serene stretch, which is void of commercial property and beach rentals, serves up a view of the Sand Island Lighthouse and ships cruising over to Mobile.<\/p>\n
