• Some states like Florida, California, and Hawaii are known for their beautiful beaches.
• Others have lesser known — but equally breathtaking — beaches, including Michigan and New Hampshire.
• These are some of the most beautiful beaches across the US.

Surrounded by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Great Lakes, more than half of states in the US lie on at least one of the country’s gorgeous coasts.

With close to 100,000 miles of shoreline, not every noteworthy beach in the US gets the recognition it deserves.
