Life Style

For some beachgoers, calm atmospheres do the trick. For others, white sand and blue waters define a beach's excellence. And for others still, access to entertainment and acitvities helps a shore stand out. U.S. News considered user votes, expert opinion, atmosphere, accessibility, affordability and a variety of other factors to come up with our suggestions for which beach you should visit next.

Grab a towel, a timer, and water and get ready to hit the sand for today’s workout! And I should probably mention you may get a little wet too…maybe not the best day to wear your sun worshipping bathing suit, but wear one that won’t have you worrying about mishaps or anything you wouldn’t want accidentally caught on camera!
