With the country beginning to reopen from the COVID-19 pandemic, families across America are looking forward to sinking their toes in some white sand this summer. If you’re unsure which shore you’d like to see, I’ve rounded up 50 beaches worth traveling to! This list starts in Texas and moves its way out to the Carolina coast.
