Of the World’s Top 25 Beaches, four are in the United States: three on Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast and one on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The stunning beaches at Lahaina, Hawaii and Siesta Key, Tierra Verde and Pensacola Beach, Florida were the only American beaches to receive Trip Advisor’s coveted 2013 Travelers’ Choice Award for World’s Top 25 Beaches. Sharing the spotlight with legendary beaches in the Caribbean, Italy, Brazil and Australia, these four U.S. beaches are the equal to any in the world.
What makes the world’s top beaches so memorable? All are covered with luxurious fine-grained sand that begs to be scrunched between your toes. The gorgeous white quartz sand on the three Gulf Coast beaches is known worldwide for its fine sugar-soft texture. But sand alone doesn’t qualify a beach for top billing. All of the beaches named to Trip Advisor’s Top 25 list also offer clear, sparkling waters for swimming, snorkeling, boarding, surfing and other water sports.
Nearby airports make these beach vacation destinations easy to get to, and an abundance of affordable beach vacation rentals is available for each site on iTrip.net. And don’t forget the incredible sunsets, the highlight of any beach vacation.
