Beach days are officially upon us! I, for one, can’t think of a better way to spend a weekend afternoon than with my toes in the sand.
Not all beaches are created equal – some are family-friendly destinations, some have caves & coves for more exploration. Check out these beaches in the US that will look absolutely perfect on your Instagram feed.
Good Harbor Beach, Massachusetts
Just a hop away from Boston, Good Harbor Beach is an idyllic location for long walks, body surfing, or lounging. Plus, at low tide, you can walk out to Salt Island and get another view. Photo by @lindsaygalvinphotography
Lanikai Beach, Hawaii
You’d get some good ‘grams at any beach in Hawaii, but Lanikai Beach has the perfect blend of soft sand, blue waters, and a bit of seclusion. Photo by @melikinis
Black Sands Beach, California
It’s not every day you see black sand! This beach in northern California photographs beautifully, and lacks the blistering heat that black sand beaches are known to have. Photo by @taylorhamscher
Assateague Island, Maryland
Camp, kayak, or just take a stroll on Assateague Island – you won’t regret it. The island has plenty of marshes to explore and wildlife to see – including wild horses. Photo by @static_vin

On Kiawah Island, maritime forests and marshes are crawling with turtles, whitetail deer, and seabirds – perfect for your #WildWednesday snap. Photo by @linzybinzy120
