The East Coast of the United States has a number of popular beaches that are great for families and individuals. Following are just a few of the top beaches along the East Coast.

– Nantucket, Massachusetts: a former whaling community, Nantucket seems to transport visitors back in time to a quaint community before a blue ocean backdrop. Calm waters make the area a great spot for traveling families or just people who are looking to relax by the sea.

– Duck, North Carolina: located in the northern part of the state’s Outer Banks, Duck is home to a number of rental homes and small hotels. The ocean gives a calming sound to the area and visitors can spend time on the area’s docks or the sand dunes.

– East Hampton, New York: home to Main Beach, a white sand beach that is very popular, East Hampton showcases great waves and picturesque views. The area is a favored destination throughout the year, but is typically less crowded during colder months.

– Cape May, New Jersey: often recognized as the crown jewel of the area, Cape May’s small town center and fantastic beaches draw in many tourists every year. Visitors can often spot dolphins jumping in the ocean’s waves and simply enjoy the environment.
