Stacker crunched the numbers to find the best beach towns in the U.S. To be considered a beach town, each city needed at least one beach on the Environmental Protection Agency's National List of Beaches.
) - Summer vacation has already begun for some across the U.S., and if Memorial Day is any indication, travelers should expect a busy summer season in 2023.
Trips abroad are spiking in popularity as people try to make up for time lost during pandemic-era travel restrictions. However, as inflation makes travel more expensive, budget-conscious travelers cut costs by driving to their destinations and staying stateside. AAA expected 2 million more travelers on the road on Memorial Day weekend in 2023 than on the same weekend in 2022.
So what makes a good beach town? Access to a beach, of course, but also plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep kids entertained, warm weather, and a long beach season. So perhaps it’s not surprising that Hawaii and Florida cities dominate this list. But besides the Aloha and the Sunshine states, beach-goers can enjoy the sand and surf in places off the beaten path in Texas and on the Great Lakes.
