Top of my list:
Herring Cove Beach in Provincetown, MA

Why: families near the parking lot, nudists at the distant end, some of the friendliest people, VERY interesting people watching, and you can shower and dress at the beach for dinner and gallery perusing in the town as the sun sets.


Next: various spots on the Jersey Shore, but I'll go with Beach Haven on LBI

Why: childhood memories, no car needed to get from your house to the sand (just walk down to the end of your street)


Honorable Mentions:
South Beach, Miami Beach (very cool)
Katama Beach, Martha's Vineyard (great waves)
Point Reyes, CA (moody, Northern California feel)
Ft. Lauderdale, FL (fun people)

Castle beach in Santa Cruz is the beach between the San Lorenzo river and the yacht harbor. A lot of people call it Seabright beach since Seabright Ave ends at the cliff overlooking the beach.

I grew up near that beach, in the neighborhood behind Days Market.

I recommend Destin, Florida. The beaches are white, the water is blue and green, and there are many places to eat and fish. The atmosphere is wonderful.

Siesta Key, FL
Sanibel, FL
Cannes, FR (very unnatural, but I loved the spectacle)
Maui

Each is different with different reasons, which are my own.

1. Tulum
2. Cancun
The water and sand are incredible!

(I don't like the beaches here in southern California much.)

I can only tell you that my daughter and her best friends (2 boys) L-O-V-E-D Malibu. We saw so many famous people.
First we went to the coffee place next to Ralphs and TOMMY LEE sat next to us.
Then we saw Buddy Hackett (2 days before he died) and the Joe Millionaire dude. We saw a few people in Ralphs and the one at the newstand on the other side of the coffee shop.
Then we went to the pet shop and saw a couple of actresses (older) and then went to that little shopping area with the park in it and saw like 15 different famous people, some with their kids.
We saw Farrah Fawcett (who was a bit crazed looking) and then not 5 minutes later in another section of that little park saw Lee Majors (who looks awesome) with his family. Funny. He was really nice.
Combine that with the 30-40 famous people we saw at our hotel, the Beverly Wilshire and the kids were simply THRILLED. We also saw people at Whole Foods, Bristol Farms and Long's or whatever the name of that drug store in Bev Hills is...
We did nothing but star search on that trip and it paid off over and over.
Before y'all slam me for wasting a trip to LA you should know that we go all the time and this was the Teen Choice trip.
Lucky for them, I am game and a darn lucky stalker to boot!
