If loudspeakers and sweaty beach volleyball are your jam, we fully support you, but when you just need to unwind, these quiet beaches in Florida offer:

• Relaxation. What’s a vacation without time to relax and destress? You can sit on the sand and enjoy peace and quiet that lets you truly escape from the busyness of life. You deserve some R&R, after all, so why not let your cares melt away on a gorgeous beach, where rejuvenation is the only item on your to-do list?
• Natural beauty. Quiet beaches are also stunning. The lack of crowds helps preserve some of the natural beauty and lets you enjoy the scenery. From swaying palm trees and bright white sands to turquoise waters, these quite beaches offer a way to immerse in nature.
• Wildlife. Animals love a little peace and quiet too, which means you're more likely to spot wildlife like birds, dolphins and sea turtles at these secluded beaches.
• Time for your hobbies. A quiet beach is the perfect place to meditate, read that page-turner you’ve been eyeing, or comb the seashore for beautiful shells.

While the above secluded beaches in Florida are uncrowded and pristine, they are more well-known. So if you're the type of traveler seeking something much more off the beaten path — where you may never see another soul (just don't go "Castaway" on us) — here are a few more options.

Talk about a cheap date. For just $3, you can board a ferry to Don Pedro Island State Park, located on the Gulf Coast near Englewood. (Private boats are also available.) Here, you'll find world-class shelling, birding, and epic sunsets. It’s a great place for fishing, kayaking, and exploring nature trails. You can even kayak to and from the island.

It’s also a great place to see sea turtles. Every year in May, the turtles come to the beaches to lay their eggs, and you can spot these marked nests and maybe even the turtles.

As the name implies, Barefoot Beach Preserve is the kind of place you can kick back and really relax. This spacious under-the-radar spot near Fort Myers and Naples is chock-full of sandy beaches for sunbathing and kayaking, and nature trails for hiking and exploring.

There's even a butterfly garden and a learning center, and opportunities to spot some great wildlife, like turtles.

Windswept beauty, diverse natural sanctuaries and historical shipwreck treasures, oh my. Vero Beach, a city in Indian River County where the beaches are accessible from all major highways in the area, offers peak wildlife viewing, with chances to see sea turtle hatchlings and many types of birds. On top of that, you can walk up and down the shores to observe the stunning shells.

Ready to dive into relaxation? Here's how to make the most of your beach day.

• Visit during the off-times. Consider visiting during the week instead of the weekend for peak solitude. Early morning hours also help lessen your chances of running into other peace-seekers. Bonus: You're also likely to spot more wildlife.
• Don’t forget your sunscreen. Florida can be hot, and there can be a high level of UV rays. To protect your skin and help you have a better vacation, don’t forget your sunscreen. Apply it regularly to make sure you’re well protected and able to enjoy your day at the beach.
• Respect the natural habitats. A lot of these quiet beaches are wildlife reservations or home to a wide variety of animals. Avoid harming any natural habitats, and follow any rules, signs or guidelines for interacting with the environment. Don’t go near any marked sea turtle nesting sites, avoid harassing birds, and do not feed any wildlife with your picnic food. Stay on the trails and avoid tromping through the brush.

Florida is one of the most beautiful places to visit, with world-class beaches that showcase the Sunshine State at its finest.
