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!

The beach hidden by fields...

Spain has an abundance of wonderful beaches; long sandy ones, small rocky ones, a few busy ones, many deserted ones, some unusual ones. The most in unusual is Playa de Gulpiyuri near Llanes, Spain. It has all the essentials of any beach: sand, salt-water, waves and tide. But it is surrounded by fields!

Imagine walking around and stumbling across this lush green meadow, then finding a tiny beach tucked way. This really is a hidden gem and definitely worth a visit!

Kynance Cove - Cornwall

Set among the wild flower-covered rocks of the Lizard Peninsula's breath-taking coastline, Kynance Cove was a strong favorite in Victorian times.

Today, the Cove is still a popular location with brilliant turquoise water, white sand and stunning views. It's clear water is perfect for those lovers of the sea - enjoy a swim or even snorkel to see what treasures you can find. For those dare-devil jumpers they are plenty of rock towers just remember to be careful! 

Located close to the beach there's a lovely National Trust tea room the perfect spot to grab some lunch or snacks, while looking out to the beach and spectacular views.

This is the perfect little beach in a remote location in Cornwall. Beautiful!
