The worst thing about going to the shore for vacation is dealing with the crowds. No one wants to get splashed by kids they don't know or forced to listen to music they don't find relaxing. The world has some beautiful looking beaches but some are little more hidden than others. Here are some of the world’s best-hidden beaches ready for you to enjoy. Well, these unknown beaches are not only peaceful but also pristine.
Spending weekends—or entire vacations—at the beach is a favorite pastime for most cultures. Residents of overpopulated cities like New York and London all seem to migrate to the same congested sandy stretches, whether they're in the Hamptons or Ibiza. Sunny destinations like that are beautiful so their allure isn't hard to articulate—they're popular for a reason. But due to their recognition, they tend to be uncomfortably packed. The stress of getting up early in the morning to secure your spot for the day can be overwhelming. Luckily, this is an easy issue to overcome—there are countless unexplored beaches out there to visit. It requires a little more patience and time, but finding the perfect quiet oasis makes the toils of getting there all the more worth it. These are the 12 best-hidden beaches in the world:
1. VAMA VECHE BEACH, VAMA VECHE, ROMANIA.
Just north of the Bulgarian border, Vama Veche is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Black Sea. It's also the home of a famous nudist beach, if that's your cup of tea.
2. TEN MILES SILVER BEACH, YANGJIANG, CHINA.
Located on the southern coast of Hailing Island, in the South China Sea, Ten Miles Silver Beach's landscape has been compared to Hawaii.
3. MUIR BEACH, MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA.
This happens to be the closest place to the famed Muir Woods with cell phone reception. It's a small beach that requires driving down Northern California's most jagged, winding country roads. The descent is as beautiful as the beach.
4. LA PLAGE PUBLIQUE DE LA MARSA, LA MARSA, TUNISIA.
Located the ancient city of Carthage, if you look hard enough into the horizon, you can almost see Sicily.
5. PLAYA TERRON, VILANOVA DE AROUSA, SPAIN.
