Hawaii·United States

Kohanaiki Beach Park

3.8 / 5

The Big Island county park most surfers call Pine Trees, with multiple peaks along a lava-and-sand coastline north of Kona. Surf, tide pools, and camping in one gated park with restrooms, BBQ pavilions, and a 5:30am-9pm gate. Kona's most accessible local surf beach.

Aerial view of Ocean Grove Beach in New Jersey, showing the wooden boardwalk along the left side, dunes with split-rail fencing, cars parked in rows along Ocean Avenue, rock groins extending into the Atlantic, and crowds of beachgoers with colorful umbrellas on a summer day
New Jersey·United States

Ocean Grove Beach

3.6 / 5

The Methodist camp meeting town on the Jersey Shore, still owned by the OGCMA, and the first summer in the beach's modern history that the sand opens on Sunday mornings. Victorian cottages, tent city, rock groins, a dry-town ordinance, and the 2025 order that changed everything.

Aerial view of Playa Flamingo in Costa Rica showing the crescent bay, pale sand, two rocky headlands, turquoise Pacific water, and the hillside villas above the beach
Costa Rica

Playa Flamingo

4.0 / 5

The Guanacaste crescent that reopened its marina in 2023 after a 19-year closure, where the name has nothing to do with flamingos and the sand is not actually pink. What every 2020 guide still gets wrong about Costa Rica's north Pacific showpiece.

England·United Kingdom

Portishead Beach

3.2 / 5

Aerial view of Rockport Beach Park in Texas showing the curved bay beach, palapas along the sand, Little Bay inlet, and parking area on a clear day
Texas·United States

Rockport Beach

3.8 / 5

The engineered bay beach the Aransas County Navigation District built in 1935, where calm green water, 65 covered picnic sites, and Texas's first Blue Wave certification make it a useful corrective to open Gulf chaos.

Wide view of Upham Beach in St Pete Beach, Florida, showing freshly renourished pale sand, one of the black rock T-groins extending into the Gulf of Mexico, Blind Pass and the southern end of Treasure Island visible across the water, with beachfront condo towers behind the beach
Florida·United States

Upham Beach

3.6 / 5

St Pete Beach's erosion-prone north end, defined by four rock T-groins and the $125M county renourishment that wrapped in March 2026 after Helene and Milton flattened the dune line. What actually opened, what is wider, and what to expect in April 2026.

Waimea Beach Kauai with the historic state pier extending into the river-mouth bay and dark sand
Hawaii·United States

Waimea Beach

3.8 / 5

The Kauai west-shore beach where Captain Cook first stepped foot on the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. Black sand from the red-dirt river runoff, a historic state pier, plantation cottages behind the dunes, and a swim that almost nobody does because the water is genuinely too murky to enjoy.
