1. Hilton Head Island, SC – Full of perfect white sand beaches, bike trails, and the cutest towns, Hilton Head is great for a family vacation.

2. South Beach, Miami, FL – This famous beach will never go out of style. If you are looking for more than sun and sand, Miami is perfect with its sensational shopping and hot nightlife. 

3. South Padre Island, TX – If you visit this great beach you can also enjoy fun attractions like Schlitterbahn Water Park nearby! 

4. Cumberland Island, GA – This small, elegant beach is a celeb favorite and first became known when Carolyn Bessette and John F. Kennedy Jr. hosted their wedding on the island. 

5. Assateague Island, MD – This wildlife beach is next to Chincoteague and Ocean City. It's great if you’re looking for more of a camping/beach getaway.
