Hey there, fellow adventurers! Ever stumbled upon a secret place so special and secluded that it felt like stumbling upon a hidden chest of pure magic? Last year, I found this magic in the form of hidden beaches – the kind you don’t find sprawled on postcards or advertised in travel agencies. Buckle up as I take you on a journey to these special corners of the world where nature’s beauty remains untouched and unspoiled.
My affair with hidden beaches started
It all started when I planned my trip to the Marieta Islands in Mexico, inspired by an article I read on Conde Nast Traveller (source). This place hosts the famous secret beach, Playa de Amor, or ‘Beach of Love’.
The Beach of Love
Reaching this hidden gem was a true mission: a boat ride, a swim through a short water tunnel, and voila – a sun-drenched sand beach in a crater, surrounded by lush greenery and chirping birds. It felt like walking into a dream.
More hidden beaches – and why you should find them
After this experience, I was hooked. I found the magic that seduced me tucked away in the distant corners of the world. Playa de Gulpiyuri, Spain; Shell Beach, Western Australia; or the Green Sand Beach in Hawaii — these journeys have added a unique layer of excitement and adventure to my travels.
