6 of America's Coolest Secret Beaches

Visiting Wildcat Beach requires an 11-mile round-trip hike, but the reward is a stunning, sparsely populated coast backed by towering bluffs.

Wildcat Beach is part of the Point Reyes National Seashore in Marin Country, just north of San Francisco. Multiple trails provide access to the beach through the Phillip Burton Wilderness, but no matter which one you choose, make sure to plan your trek at low tide — at high tide the beach is almost entirely covered with water. Once you reach the beach, the only safe access point is through Wildcat Camp (which is also the only place to spend the night). Be sure to walk to the south end of the beach to check out Alamere Falls, a cascade that spills out of the cliffs and directly onto the sands. Adhering to the theme of unspoiled nature, there are no bathrooms, cafes, lifeguards, or other amenities at Wildcat Beach, so plan accordingly.
