Remote

A state campground on the shore of Cranberry Lake, one of the largest and most remote lakes in the Adirondacks. The 173 sites are wooded and many have direct lake access. The swimming beach is sandy and the lake is clean and wild. Kayaking and canoeing are excellent with miles of shoreline and islands to explore. The Cranberry Lake 50 trail circles the entire lake for ambitious hikers. The campground has a quieter, more remote feel than the busier Adirondack campgrounds to the east. Loon calls echo across the lake every evening.

The last beach at the end of the road on Oahu west side with a wild, remote feel that is rare on the island. The long sandy beach is backed by the Waianae Mountains and rarely crowded. Summer brings calm water suitable for swimming and snorkeling while winter waves are for watching only. The Ka ena Point trail starts nearby for families who want to hike to the actual westernmost tip of Oahu where albatross and monk seals are sometimes spotted. The sunset from here is the last one on Oahu every day.

One of the longest white sand beaches in Hawaii stretching nearly 3 miles along Molokai west shore. The beach is vast, wild, and almost always deserted giving families an experience of having an entire beach to themselves. The scale is impressive with wide golden sand and crashing waves. Swimming can be rough in winter but calmer in summer. The empty expanse is perfect for long walks, sand castle building, and just feeling the freedom of wide open space. Sunset here is spectacular with views toward Oahu.

A stunning hidden beach accessed by a short but steep trail through jungle. The beach is long and wide with golden sand flanked by dramatic cliffs and lush vegetation. The wild beauty here is breathtaking. Swimming is generally unsafe due to strong currents but the beach is worth visiting for the scenery, beachcombing, and tide pool exploring alone. The remoteness and beauty make kids feel like they discovered something special. Bring everything you need as there are no facilities. The trail down is muddy and steep on the return.
