Nothing compares to the feeling of walking barefoot on a beach where the sand is soft, clean, and sparkling; the breeze is soft and fresh, and the views are such as to give stomach-turning goosebumps. When it comes to a beach experience, America is undoubtedly gifted—and that in abundance. Whether it’s down along the Florida Keys or along the rugged northern shorelines of New England, there are seemingly endless options for a memborable beach experience.

This list has the most beautiful East Coast beaches anyone should add to their bucket list. Of course, beauty is subjective, and as is the famous quote, in the eye of the beholder. Still, combing through reviews and comments, this list comprises the best East Coast beaches for the perfect vacation next to the water.

#5: Cape May, NJ

This beach is clean, well-kept, quiet, with powder-soft sand, family-friendly, and opens out to some of the most amazing views on the New Jersey shoreline. This charming beach community is renowned for the abundance of Victorian-era architecture, which gives Cape May a different appearance from many beach towns and makes for one of the best East Coast beach vacations.

Cape May is more than just beaches and boardwalks; the Cape May Peninsula is an American Viticultural Area (AVA), which officially designates it as a wine-grape growing region. Willow Creek Winery is a must-visit for wine lovers in Cape May.
