Editor's Note: Travel might be complicated right now, but use our inspirational trip ideas to plan ahead for your next bucket list adventure. Beach vacations are wonderful. You get to lay out on the sand, soak in some sunshine, and maybe read a book or take a nice, long swim in the ocean. For many people, spending a day at the beach is a favorite summer pastime. If you're hoping to hit the beach and avoid the crowds this summer, you're in luck. There are some stretches of sand in the U.S. that are mostly untouched by humans and available for anyone to access. These secluded and sandy gems offer all the relaxation and fun that you can get on any other public beach without the crowds, so you can enjoy a calm day by the water. Along the U.S. coastline, and even in the Great Lakes, you’re sure to find a secluded beach somewhere that’s just aching to be discovered. From the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to just beyond the redwood trees of California, and past the busy shorelines of Long Island, secluded beaches aren’t so hard to find after all.
Before you pack your beach bag and set off on an adventure, be sure to check national, state, and local COVID-19 travel guidelines and make sure that your destination will be open when you arrive.
