Going for a ride - for a swim, secret beaches?

[zeocen]

The thing I love as much as riding, is being in water!

I've noticed there's rides to go to beaches for a swim but I've always wondered if anyone has any secret, secluded spots that they've found upon their many miles of travelling. So, have you!?

Reason I ask, is sometimes I'd just like to get away for a ride, but I'd also like to stop mid-ride and go for a swim but I am deathly scared of someone nicking off with my valuables/bike, or at best some dirty ol' kid havin' a sit on my steel steed while I'm flapping away in the ocean.

I figure a nice secluded spot with semi respectable folk in all four corners would be ideal, but for the life of me I can't think of any. Has anyone got any they'd like to share?

Cheers!

secret beaches are probably easiest to be found near the water's edge. I suggest a search of the coast, and shore of inland lakes, this would be a good starting point.
