Marathonisi in Zakynthos is one of the most beautiful hidden beaches in Europe.

Located on an uninhabited island just off the coast of Laguna Bay, just take a boat out there and enjoy this beautiful island. The waters are crystal clear and the sand is white - they are also plenty of sea caves to explore! There are no snack bars and only a few facilities - so take along some snacks from the main island and have a little picnic on the beach!

It's simply is a wonderful place to escape and get away!

Nanjizal Bay

Nanjizal Bay is a pretty beach situated in Penwith, Cornwall. 

Due to it's relative inaccessibility, Nanjizal has remained more or less untouched which means it's never busy. Most people that do go along here are usually walkers. So this is the ideal spot for some quiet time. For those who like adventure, there's plenty of coves and caves to explore and maybe find some hidden treasures. Also, for those who are more playful then there is a waterfall and stream to splash around in.

It's the perfect spot to relax and have some quiet time, or even a place to take the family. As the beach is empty most of the time it would be like having your own private beach in the UK.

Secret Beach - Marieta Island

With crystal clear waters and sandy beaches, the origins of this idyllic paradise may come as a surprise - it is in fact the world's most picturesque bomb site.

The secluded strip of sand is believed to have formed decades ago when the Mexican Government used it as target practice in the early 1900s. But where you would expect ruins, here lies a beautiful deserted beach on the Marieta Island in Puerto Vallarta.

Doesn't it look so beautiful! We know that this is definitely a secret beach we want to visit!

Britain's Highest Beach!

This little hidden gem is located in Yorkshire, miles away from any coast line.

Being named as Britain's highest and perhaps most secret beach it is only accessible via a 40 minute walk up steep footpaths in the south Pennines hills above Todmorden. Despite it's remote location, the cove is located next to the Gaddings Dam and is a popular spot with locals in the know, but now growing in popularity!

It's a very secluded and unique beach and it's right here in Britain! Who would of thought, it looks like it could of been a scene from a holiday postcard.
