In our experience, unfortunately, there’s nothing particularly special to do at the Animal Crossing: New Horizons secret beach. That being said, it’s definitely a fun place to decorate and use as a temporary hideaway from busy island life and the demands of Tom Nook.

If you visit a friend’s island, it’s also a great place to bury a secret gift and see how long it takes them to discover it.
