Ten place I don’t want to go to. How about ten beaches no one goes to so you can tan, swim, read and about once an hour someone comes by and takes a food and drink order.
Horseshoe Bay Bermuda and Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. The beaches in Casa De Campo were stunning also DR.
The top ten beaches to avoid. Thank you. -Wb
Party beaches? What about some of those beaches in New Jersey where you can find syringes and stuff right there at the shoreline?
Puerto Penasco can be pretty wild during Spring Break
Rio de Janeiro should have at least two or three of the beaches alone;) Isreal should have two more!

That would be the Bitter End Yacht Club, North Sound, Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. Or pretty much any beach in the BVI.
Well, if you want isolation...
The longest Stretch of Undeveloped Barrier Island in The
World, Rich in Natural and Cultural History
Padre Island
National Seashore Texas
With 70 miles of protected coastline, including a coastal prairie, a dynamic dune system, wind tidal flats teeming with life. A sanctuary and nesting grounds for the endangered Kemp’s ridley sea turtle. A haven for 380 species of birds, a rich cultural history including the 1554 Spanish shipwrecks; and the Laguna Madre, one of the few hypersaline lagoon environments left in the world.
North Padre Island is the longest undeveloped barrier island in the world. The National Seashore is 70 miles (110 km) long with 65.5 miles (105.4 km) of Gulf beach. The Park hosts a variety of pristine beach, dune, and tidal flat environments,[1] including the Laguna Madre on its west coast

Number 1 Beach. Bay 1 Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, NY.
Alcohol is "banned" on the beaches but that's why I save empty Gatorade bottles. Make a batch of margaritas the night before, fill the Gatorade jugs with it and put them in the freezer. Next day, everybody thinks you are drinking Gatorade!
Sit out in a lawn chair in the water with a good book and a thick pair of sunglasses. At the end of the day, get some clams, scallops, lobster and corn on the cob. Perfect day at the beach!
Hanauma Bay in Hawaii
Party is a noun, not a verb. More bastardization of our language by the nincompoops.
Ooh, I forgot about Hanauma Bay. You are so right. Hanalai bay on Kauai fits the bill too. We used to spend a couple weekends a year at the plantation there. Really miss the islands.
goin to North Padre Labor Day week-end.
Santa Rita beach in Montana. Some of the best surfing in Montana.
