12 Secluded Beaches You Can Have All To Yourself

With everything going on at the moment, nothing sounds better than heading on a super relaxing holiday to a remote beach somewhere across the world. While maybe we can’t do it just yet we can certainly daydream about it…and start planning what new swimwear we’ll be taking! 

​​Sunshine, sea breeze, a chance to show off your gorgeous new bikini there's so much to love about a day at the beach! Well, except for the crowds. We prefer beach getaways that don’t require navigating a cluttered maze of coolers, umbrellas, and beach balls. Wouldn't you agree? Whether you’re looking for romance or relaxation, you'll find it at one of these idyllic beaches. The only thing better than a day at the beach is a peaceful day at the beach, and these secluded beaches offer just that.

#1: Costa de la Luz, Tarifa, Spain 

Located in the southern part of Spain, Costa de la Luz beach is a 50-mile stretch of shoreline that goes from Huelva to Taifa. The beaches are lined with pinewood trees and dunes and are free of crowds and high-rise buildings. Located three hours away by car from the closest city (Seville), it is relatively remote. 

The forceful coastal winds keep the masses away except for avid windsurfers that consider the area to be a sporting hot spot. Check out our Island Goddess collection for the perfect suits for a remote Spanish getaway and don’t forget to pack a cover-up for the winds! 

#2: Long Bay, Tortola, British Virgin Islands 

Long Bay beach is located on Tortola, the largest of the over 60 islands part of the BVI. You can access it through a steep, rugged road past Nail Bay or by anchored boat off the coast. The isolated inlet is a perfect spot to go swimming or try out snorkeling. Besides the random sailboat—and the wonderful fauna that inhabits the beach like blue herons and pelicans—you’ll most likely have the beach all to yourself. Our Dip Into The Wild One Shoulder One Piece is perfect for this nature retreat! 

#3: Palmetto Point Beach, Barbuda 

Located on the island of Barbuda, around 25-miles to the northeast from Antigua, the 7-mile expanse from Palmetto Point to Coco point is a rare experience in the Caribbean. Usually so deserted that you’re more likely to share your day at the beach with your own thoughts than other people. Look to our Mod for Dot collection for the perfect bathing suit and cover-up combo for this exclusive beach trip. 

#4: Tonsai Beach, Thailand

Tonsai Beach is so remote you have to take two boats to reach it, one from Krabi or Ao Nang, and one from Railay Beach. The small stretch is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs, lush vegetation, and warm emerald green water. 

Once at the destination beach, you can take part in activities such as rock climbing, kayaking, or snorkeling—where you can see multiple coral reefs and cartoon-like fish—or just sit back and enjoy the privacy of it all! Our stylish rashguards are perfect if you’re feeling more adventurous! 

#5: Tahiti Beach on Elbow Cay, Abaco

Nestled on the southern tip of Elbow Cay, one of many islands on the 120-mile-long Abacos chain, Tahiti Beach is a hidden paradise. Coconut palms line this serene beach which looks out onto the calm, clear waters of the Atlantic. It's the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing, or collecting seashells at low tide. 

Plenty of shallow stretches makes it an easy spot for lounging with little ones. Tahiti Beach is accessible only by foot, bike, or boat, making it significantly less crowded than other spots in the Bahamas. Most visitors come by boat. Lounge in harmony with the blue Abaco water in a swimsuit from our Island Goddess collection.

#6: Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Whitehaven Beach is a stunning, scientific marvel. Its sand is composed of 98% silica, meaning it doesn’t get hot like normal sand. Dig your toes into the sand and enjoy! While Whitehaven Beach is one of the most photographed beaches in Australia, in part due to an inlet with constantly swirling waters, it’s 7 km long and rarely too crowded to enjoy. Look to our Fresh Florals collection to match Australia’s rich greenery and blooms.

#7: Baía de Sancho, Brazil

This Brazilian beach is tailor-made for adventures. The route in feels like something straight from an action film: traverse a dirt road, then make a cliff-side descent down a series of rickety ladders. Once there, you’ll be rewarded by gorgeous turquoise waters and coral reefs teeming with marine life. Since Baía de Sancho faces the mainland instead of the Atlantic, its waters are peaceful and, best of all, uncrowded. Arrive in adventurous style in a suit from our Black & White Edit collection.

#8: Smuggler’s Cove, Greece

While officially named Navagio Beach, Smuggler’s Cove gets its nickname from its mysterious past and the rusting ship which now dominates its shore. The abandoned freighter ran aground in 1980 on a rumored smuggling run and now provides shade and character to this magnificent Mediterranean beach, which is accessible only by a boat ride through brilliant blue waters. With slight greek key patterning and a nod to olive trees, our Pop of Color collection is perfectly suited for your next Mediterranean adventure.

#9: Monkey Beach on Tioman Island, Malaysia

Make some new friends at this aptly named Malaysian beach! While you’ll more than likely see monkeys here—which have been known to steal tourists’ belongings, so be careful!—the beach shouldn’t be too crowded with humans. Surrounded by lush rainforest, Monkey Beach can be reached by either boat or an hour-long jungle hike from Salang. If you’ve ever wanted to be an Island Goddess, this is your chance!

#10: Luskentyre Beach, Scotland

Located outside the town of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Luskentyre Beach is proof that beautiful beaches don’t need to be tropical. Stunning cliffs and picturesque dunes surround vividly blue, pristine waters. Relax on smooth sand or take in a stunning British panorama (and get an adrenaline rush) with a ride on the 4 km bike trail. Scotland can be cool, so don’t forget to pack a cover-up.

#11: Don Pedro Island, Florida

No “Best Beach” list is complete with mention of the Sunshine State! While you’re probably familiar with the snowbird-filled shores of South Beach and the Gulf Coast, Don Pedro is a small barrier island you might normally pass up—but it’s certainly not one you want to miss. 

Sunsets are stunning, seashells and shark teeth are plenty, and the island's seven-mile stretch of sand is pristine. Come over for a day on the car ferry or rent a house on the island for real relaxation. Our Bloom FIeld Lace-Up is feminine, floral, and flirty—perfect for Florida! 

#12: Sandbridge Beach in Virginia, United States

Just 12 miles north of the North Carolinian border, Sandbridge Beach provides a much more laid-back experience than the busy beaches of the Outer Banks. Dotted with private homes and spacious rentals, Sandbridge is a peaceful beach where you can relax and enjoy the Atlantic Ocean without the chaos of more crowded coastal communities. 

Embrace East Coast charm in a classic black swimsuit. No matter where you choose to soak up some Vitamin D, you can't go wrong when you wear a La Blanca swimsuit. Pick a botanical print to match your destination or keep things classic in a solid color bikini. Shop swimsuits online and enjoy free shipping and returns on orders over $75.
