Top 5 Places To Enjoy The Best Sunny Beach Vacations In The US

Are you searching for a beautiful sunny beach to spend your vacation? Look no further! Here are the top 5 places to enjoy the best sunny beach vacation in America, each with their own unique features:

1. Main Beach, East Hampton Long Island NY

As you can see, the Main Beach of East Hampton is absolutely beautiful. We love that it is so secluded and private, where you can really relax and enjoy your day. Located about 2 hours away from New York City, this beach is in a perfect location. Evening fires are permitted, and you can fish and surf as well. Just beware of the expensive parking! Details here.

2. Duke Kahanamoku Beach, Waikiki Honolulu Hawaii

Duke Kahanamoku Beach is immediately adjacent to the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and the Duke Kahanamoku lagoon. It is the widest beach in Waikiki and an offshore protective reef creates very calm water and makes it a good beach for families with children. Swimmers should wear reefwalkers because the shoreline in this area has a rocky bottom. The name of this beach comes from a famous Olympic swimming champion, Duke Kahanamoku. This beach has hard packed sand, making it easy for long walks on the beach, and provides plenty of shade given off by the trees. Don't miss out on the weekly Friday night free "King's Jubilee" torch lighting ceremony and fireworks show!

3. St. George Island State Park, Eastpoint Florida

In 2013, Dr. Beach ranked St. George Island State Park the #3 best beach in America! This 9 mile long beach offers plenty of room for sunbathing, swimming, canoeing, boating, hiking, camping and nature study. St. George Island State Park also has two natural boat ramps that provide access to the bay for small boats. The sand here is gorgeous white and has numerous sand dunes. Also a great beach for shelling. 

4. Hamoa Beach, Maui Hawaii

Hamoa Beach is about 1,000 feet in length and about 100 feet wide. There are plenty of trees and lush vegetation giving the beach plenty of shade, and many sea cliffs surrounding it. The water here is crystal clear and in my opinion, the best beach for snorkeling and scuba diving. You can also enjoy surfing or a perfect place to to lay around and relax. Hamoa Beach is consistently named one of "Maui's Best Beaches" each year.

5. Waimanalo Bay State Park, Oahu Hawaii

Waimanalo Beach is home to turquoise blue waters and miles of some of the softest white sand your toes will ever touch! The ocean here produces small and playful shore breaking waves, making it a perfect spot for your kids to boogie board and bodysurf.
