Summertime is the time for lying on the beach. Most beachgoers enjoy their time relaxing in the sun and listening to the sounds of the water. The problem is many beaches have become so popular with locals and tourists that they become crowded tourist traps. We have discovered several beaches in the US that are still off the beaten path. Not only are these beaches secluded and peaceful, but they are also gorgeous. Plan your visit to one of these top secluded beaches in the US today.

The island offers beautiful sandy beaches for swimming and sunbathing. Besides the beach, on the island visitors can also hike the sand dunes, take a wagon tour, or explore a ghost town. Be sure to explore the grounds of and capture the gorgeous lighthouse on film during your stay.
Snorkel at the Least Visited National Park
One of the least visited national parks in America is Dry Tortugas National Park in Florida. This amazing park is less than one percent of dry ground. This makes this location one of the best places to dive, swim, snorkel, and view marine life. The beach is only accessible by boat or plane, which makes the seclusion worth all the trouble. Besides the beach, the park also has fishing, boating, paddleboats, and camping facilities.
Walk On the ‘Last Frontier’ of the Outer Banks
Bring your SUV and drive over the dunes to Carova Beach, North Carolina. This area is known for its privacy and clean, white beaches.

While here, you will be astonished when you see the wild mustangs that roam freely along the beach and ocean, and even into the town’s small residential neighborhoods.

Cumberland Island is 18 miles of pure, pristine coastline. While you sit on the sand, you can watch wild horses roaming about. The beach is part of Cumberland Island National Seashore and additional outdoor recreational activities are available. After beach time, you can explore old Spanish mission ruins and 19th century homes.
