There’s nothing quite as relaxing as a beach — except maybe a private beach.

Yes, part of the fun in going to the beach lies in observing all the odd characters they tend to attract: the leathery, overly tanned woman with skin like a gas-station hot dog, the elderly man in a Speedo two sizes too small, etc.

But sometimes you just want to enjoy the sand and the ocean with some damn peace and quiet, and without the problems that an overly populated beach often presents: vying for the best spot, other beachgoers kicking sand into your personal space, too much noise, children…the list goes on.

All those problems can be eradicated with a private beach. And before you declare the idea as implausible and exorbitantly expensive, you clearly haven’t done a deep enough dive into the world of Airbnb and all that it has to offer. As it turns out, there are private beaches available on the lodging site at a range of configurations and price points.

We’ve done some sleuthing for you to come up with a roster of the best private beaches available on the site, some domestic, others international. And while the definition of private varies (meaning you won’t always get the whole beach to yourself, and may have to share it with a select few), the experience will remain far superior to the experience a crowded beach provides.

Below, you’ll find 10 of the best Airbnbs with private beaches. Enjoy the solitude.
