Stunning beaches for your vacation

The United States is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. From the stunning white sands of Hawaii to the charming seaside towns of Massachusetts, there is no shortage of incredible beach destinations to choose from. In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the best beach vacations in the United States and why you should book through Suiteness for your next beach getaway.

Hawaii

Maui is a paradise for beach lovers. With its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and vibrant coral reefs, this Hawaiian island is a true gem. Whether you're an experienced surfer or just looking to relax on the beach, Maui has something to offer everyone. The island's popular beaches include Kaanapali Beach, Wailea Beach, and Napili Bay.

The geographic and cultural diversity of the Hawaiian islands has something to offer for any kind of visitor. From snowy mountaintops to beach bum surfing in the spread of one day, Hawaii offers an experience like no other. The beauty of the isles doesn’t just come from its 750 miles of beach coastline, but by the sheer outsize number of opportunities to experience something new.

Border lush jungles and the ocean as you cruise down the road to Hana, awake to a sun swept beach and gaze out at rainbows birthed by distant mountain rains, hike the volcanic summits of the Big Island, pamper your palate with Honolulu’s heritage rich cuisine or forget the world on a deserted beach in Maui.

There are six main islands open to the public, each one unique and offering something new after the next. So much so that choosing which one to visit for the first time can be taxing and almost antithetical to very idea of planning a vacation. Luckily we’ve put together a guide that should help you plan that vacation. So let’s get to it and explore the best each has to offer.
