Castaway Beaches

Remote, difficult to reach, and empty of building. What defines this world is the effort of arrival: a boat, a long walk, a permit, or a road that gives out. The beach itself may be spectacular or plain — what you are buying is the absence of everyone else. In practice this is the world where the register's access flags cluster: boat-only arrivals, permits, hike-in routes of an hour or more, and in one case a beach reachable only by swimming ashore from an anchored vessel. Facilities are almost always none, and the register says so plainly rather than implying that seclusion comes with a bar. Several of these beaches are also culturally significant or actively protected, and the difficulty of reaching them is part of why they have survived intact.
