The 10 Best Beaches In America

Lucky for those of us with spring fever, TripAdvisor just released its latest list of the best beaches across the nation through their Travelers' Choice Beaches Awards.

It officially seems like the time to campaign for that trip to Hawaii, as it nabbed seven of the top ten spots. Florida and South Carolina were the only other two states that made the top ten.

The winning beaches were determined based on the quality and quantity of traveler reviews on TripAdvisor over a 12-month period.
