Remote Destinations That Make You Feel Like the Last Person on Earth

11. The Uninhabited Wharariki Beach, New Zealand

A beach with no roads, no towns, and no people—just rolling sand dunes, dramatic sea caves, and archways carved by time. Wharariki Beach, at the northern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, feels like the edge of the world. Reaching it requires a long trek through grassy hills, but once you arrive, it’s just you, the waves, and the endless horizon.
