Best Beach Spots for Sex on Vacation

Joe Stuart

Hey folks, Joe here, back with another episode of Adult Travel With Castaways. So, today we're getting into some real after-dark adventures—specifically, the best beach spots for sex on vacation. Just a heads up, this one's for couples looking to spice things up a bit, and honestly, I mean, isn’t that kind of what this show is all about? Anyway, let’s get into it. Now, let me say, I’ve learned over the years that late-night is without a doubt the safest and honestly the most exciting time for some, uh, recreational activity on the sand. I mean, in the daytime, there’re way too many people around, cameras everywhere, you know the deal. But come nighttime, the beach just changes. You’ve got the stars, the moonlight—if you’re lucky, it’s one of those bright, almost surreal nights where you can see your own shadow on the sand. It’s just a whole different vibe.

That said, and I gotta stress this, there are plenty of challenges too. Tides are the sneaky ones—makes planning a little more interesting, right? You don’t want to set up shop too close to the water, then suddenly realize your stuff is floating away along with your dignity. And, ugh, sand. Sand is, I don’t know if there’s a polite way to say this—sand is the enemy. It gets everywhere. So, preparation is key here. But look, the beauty of nighttime is you can find those stretches that are all yours, especially if you’re at a private resort or you hike a little further than most folks wander off. A lot of adults-only places have those corners that get real quiet when the sun goes down. Just… keep an eye out for security, ‘cause, you know, not everyone’s as enthusiastic about your creativity as you are.

So I’ll share something a bit personal—I remember, my wife and I, we were at the Desire Riviera Maya, and there’s this little edge of the beach that, after midnight, is basically deserted. It’s far enough from the pool and lights that you’ve got real privacy, but close enough that you can skedaddle back if anyone shows up. We brought a big towel—always bring a thick towel, trust me—and scoped out the tides earlier that day. That little bit of effort made the whole thing just electric. And of course, pack a flashlight, or at least use your phone, but, ya know, don’t blind each other. Seriously, if you plan it right, you can have a wild, romantic time without worrying about random people stumbling by.

And speaking of privacy, let’s talk about those hidden little pockets that aren’t just out in the open sand…

So, transitioning from the starlit open beach, sometimes you need an actual barrier between you and, you know, mankind. That’s when you go searching for those dunes, cabanas, or the classic rocky cove. Some resorts, and this is the beauty of adults-only resorts, have cabanas right there on the beach—curtains, sometimes even fans, little tables for your drinks, it’s like they know exactly what people want but can’t outright say it on the brochure. Dunes are great at public or less-developed beaches. Just, a quick note: they can be prickly as hell so, again, thick towel is your friend and look out for little critters, especially in tropical places.

Rocky coves? Oh man, if you can find one, you just hit the jackpot privacy-wise. They muffle sound, nobody can just wander in accidentally, and the rocks give you all sorts of nooks for cover. We’re talking prime real estate for a little adult fun. I’ve seen coves—actually, let me backtrack, the cabanas at places like Desire are cozy, but if you ever get a chance to stay at Hedonism II in Jamaica, there’s this—not sure if it has an official name, but there’s a stretch out back behind one of the paths with some shrubs and boulders. At night, it’s a total hideaway.

Joe Stuart

I’ll be totally honest: the thrill of maybe getting caught—not in trouble, but just knowing it’s a risk—adds to the whole thing. My wife and I have a spot there, kind of behind the volleyball court. One time, we saw security on the other side of the trees and, let me tell you, that adrenaline kick… it’s something. But for real, discretion is everything. If you’re at a public beach, timing is your friend—super early mornings or late nights, when nobody’s around. And if you see towels or glass bottles around, pick a different spot. Leave no trace, and respect whoever’s coming after you. At a resort, definitely be aware of the rules; you don’t want to be the folks getting sent back to the bar with an awkward grin.

Now, if you want to take it up a notch and mix in some water or a killer view, here’s where things get interesting…

Joe Stuart

Okay, let’s get into the real “wow” settings—out over the waves or right on the waterfront. So, not technically “on the beach,” but, floating platforms, those daybeds that kind of hover above the water, or even a private balcony with the sand and surf below? These are maybe my favorite setups, ‘cause they keep you close to the ocean but without, uh, sand getting into places you never want sand. Even better if your room is right on the edge and you’ve got privacy screens.

Joe Stuart

Now, the logistics—so much easier than on the actual sand. You lay out a mat, bring a small waterproof bag for essentials, you’re good to go. And honestly, the water’s usually pretty still, so you get this soothing rocking motion—just don’t overdo it, you don’t wanna drift away. I remember—this is not an official Bliss Cruise activity, don’t get me in trouble—I remember a stop on a Bliss Cruise where there were these floating platforms out off the private island. My wife and I timed it perfectly, right after everyone left for lunch. We slipped over, set things up, and, yeah, had what might’ve been the most memorable afternoon of the trip. But, use caution and discretion, folks. If there’s even a chance someone’s coming by, wait it out or pick a different time.

Joe Stuart

Packing tip—besides the towel and waterproof bag—bring a lightweight coverup or a pareo you can just toss on if there’s a sudden boat or staff member. And, look, sometimes you gotta abort mission if you hear voices, and that’s okay, the story’s still good. The height of excitement really comes from knowing you’re somewhere you probably shouldn’t be, but you’re not risking anyone else’s good time either.
