There are even some beaches so secret they don’t have a name – wild stretches of coastline that are sure to lure out the explorer in you.
One such strip can be found south of Pearl Beach. Keep walking around the rocks until you’re in line with the rear of Lion Island, and looking straight across to Box Head.
This private beach, hemmed in by a wall of bush, is known as Flathead Beach to locals, because it’s as good a spot to catch a flatty as to get some secluded sunshine.
If you’re lucky you might even get to frolick with the dolphins that frequent the area.

Coastal Chic Tip: Because these beaches aren’t patrolled and some are off-the-beaten-track, it’s good to be mindful of conditions and extra careful when swimming or surfing. If you know of any other secret gems on the Coast, let us know with a comment below.
