This hidden beach has been dubbed the best in the world - here's how to find it

A hidden beach on Western Australia's south coast has been described as the best in the world by travellers.

Little Beach which is set in the rugged beauty of the Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve near Albany has remained a local secret, until now.

The swimming spot has been described as the best way to escape the gloom of winter and marked as a must for every beach lover's bucket list.

The protected beach with turquoise, crystal clear water has bright white sand dotted with giant black boulders.

It's reached after a short walk from the carpark located at the end of a long, winding road which connects the spot to Albany, 40 minutes away.

A nearby fresh waterfall flows into the ocean impressing visitors further with many hailing it as 'the most beautiful beach I've ever seen'.

Samantha, a British expat living in Australia who goes by _thetravelher online, shared a video of the remote WA beach that has been liked 1.2million times on TikTok - and others agree that it looks too good to be true.    

'Beach looks like a painting, water was stunning,' one visitor said.

'I'd rate it 168 out of 100,' another agreed.

Fans of the 'hidden gem' loved how unspoiled and tucked away from the rest of the world it felt.

'What I love about beaches like this is how lacking in development they are, no cafes or houses around to ruin the feel of being out of the way and private,' one visitor said. 

Travellers to the beach advised others to bring packed lunches and drinks so they could spend a few blissful hours enjoying the water and the surrounds.

Waterfall Beach is located on the other side of Little Beach - a short walk and a few steps away, and is equally beautiful according to those lucky enough to visit. 

'Absolutely stunning secluded cove,' one woman said.

'Harder to reach than Little Beach which makes it way more charming,' another chimed in.

Others said that Waterfall Beach was slightly more sheltered than Little Beach and that the calmer water made it especially suitable for swimming with kids. 

The nearby port city of Albany also offers 'wonderful' scenic hiking such as The Bald Head Walk Trail.

The 12.5km trek curves along the narrow ridge of the Flinders Peninsula and is recommended for experienced bushwalkers. 

Nearby Torrindup National park features other stunning natural attractions such as The Blowholes and The Gap. 

The Gap is a viewing platform precariously perched 40m above sea level.

It offers visitors who aren't afraid of heights a thrilling vista of crashing waves over a rocky coastline. 

Travellers to the the pristine beach destination dream of their of their return.

'I'm definitely coming back', one woman said.
