Family-Friendly Beaches
We've picked out ten beaches that have something for the whole family. From coast to coast, you can find great beaches with games for the kids and beautiful views for mom and dad. But we think we've found the absolute best for you and your loved ones.

Pack up the kids and be sure to get sunscreen on everyone before you head out. Whether you have little ones or young adults, everyone should be in for a fun time. If you choose one of these beaches, you'll be sure to have a fine day in the sun.



Beach Party Beaches
For those without a family to worry about, there's a different kind of beach. We've found ten of the best party beaches across the country for the 21-and-up crowd. From coastal areas featuring famous bars to sandy shores where you can bring your own booze on the beach, see a few of the best for the sun-loving party goer.

Check the weather before you go. And, for those with designs on a drink, make sure you've got a designated driver or a place to stay for the night.



Most Relaxing Beaches
Sun lovers who prefer to relax on the beach should consider visiting one of these ten amazingly restful beaches. From the shores of Hawaii to the edges of Massachusetts, you can find fantastic places for quiet and solitude near the surf.

Don't forget to bring your most comfortable beach chair or blanket, something good to read and maybe even some music but it might be most relaxing just to listen to the waves hit the shore.



Clothing-Optional or Nude Beaches
Beach lovers who like to feel the sand between more than just their toes will love our list of clothing-optional and nude beaches. We've picked out ten of the best in the nation where you can discard every last stitch you're wearing without getting in trouble with the law.

If you've got a bit of the naturalist in you or if you just want to strut your stuff for the world (or at least the beach) to see, check out these great spots across the country. Be sure to bring extra sunscreen with you, though.
