Best beach towns in the US
Florida, Hawaii, and California may be what we think of when it comes to sunny escapes, but those certainly aren't the only options for those looking for a beach vacation. The West Coast has many Pacific Ocean possibilities, the Midwest has great lakeside locales, New England has bays and oceanfront areas, and the Gulf Coast has some of the most significant beach towns in the country, based on our findings here at Stacker.
So what makes a good beach town? Access to a beach, of course, but plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep kids entertained, warm weather, and a long beach season—the average number of days beaches are open for swimming.
To be considered a beach town for this analysis, each city needed at least one beach on the Environmental Protection Agency's National List of Beaches. The EPA list includes beaches that are only used recreationally and open to the public for free or for a fee; it has more than 6,000 beaches on the United States' Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts and the Great Lakes identified by states and tribes in response to the Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health Act of 2000. The act requires states to report water quality monitoring to an EPA database.
Stacker determined rankings based on several factors, with the most weight given to the number of beaches within a quarter mile of a city or town and the total shoreline of those beaches. Weather patterns and the duration of each beach's swim season affect town scores. The ranking also considers the prevalence of beach-related businesses, unemployment rates, and median home prices.
The data was analyzed before the devastating wildfires in California in January 2025 and Hawaiʻi in August 2023, so the ranking includes locations that tragically were obliterated by the blazes.
