There's a lot of small sandy areas you can reach in minutes if you rent, or own, a kayak or SUP. Use it at Sand Harbor to reach your own private beach.

This is a great hike with excellent scenery along the way and its a location that's known all over the world. I strongly recommend bringing snacks to eat on the way up, its a long hike and you'll be burning a lot of calories, and obviously you'll want to bring plenty of water or some kind of purification device so you can refill on water as you go. And get on the trail early! Getting up there before the crowd really makes this an even better experience.
