Isla Holbox, Mexico

You can only get to this gorgeous island by boat and it's incredibly secluded — only 1,200 people live here! You can get around this island by driving golf carts or walking. You'll be totally charmed by cabanas and hammocks that line the beach.

In order to get to this island made entirely by sand, you have to take a ferry. There are also bright-blue lakes in the middle of the island that you can jump into.

Rocktail Bay, South Africa

Rocktail Bay is probably one of the trickiest beaches to get to in the world. It takes multiple plane rides just to get there, and there's only one small resort to stay in. That means that you will get the ultimate private experience when visiting this place.

06
Playa del Amor, Marietas Islands, Mexico

A massive ring of rock surrounds this insanely awesome beach hidden away in the Marietas Islands of Mexico. Only six visitors at a time can visit this location!

07

Wildcat Beach, CA

You won't be taking a car to visit this California treasure. The beach located in Point Reyes requires a five- to six-mile hike in order to reach it. But the incredible views and peacefulness are well worth the trek.
