What is everyone's take on beachfront property up north right now?

I am looking at purchasing a bare piece of land and building a garage/sleep out (Water tank, old stove, small fridge, solar panels/geni). Until the area is built up a little and I have the funds available to connect utilities and build a decent property.

Ideally I'd like to find an area with no sealed roads, power, water, phone ect. to simply pickup the land on the cheap with the intention of holding it 10-20+ years for further development in the area (few more batches ect.)

I have found a few places so far but am simply wondering on this kind of setup and how common it is for people to do this.

I guess at the end of the day its always a bit of hit and miss whether additional land will be sold and batches will get built up (council roads ect.)
