Navarre Beach, FL<\/b><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of the Florida Panhandle\u2019s true buried treasures, quiet Navarre Beach (about 45 minutes from Pensacola) is more than its sparkling white sand beaches, turquoise Gulf of Mexico waters, and remote vibe. Hidden here is Navarre Beach Pier (at 1,545 feet it’s the longest pier in Florida and three artificial reefs (the Gulf Side Reef, West Sound Side Reef, and East Sound Side Reef) where visitors can snorkel among sea turtles, dolphins, and other sea life in the Navarre Beach Marine Sanctuary.

Seal Beach, CA<\/b><\/h1>\n

Just 28 miles east of Los Angeles, locals come to this less-trampled stretch of sand to surf, kite surf, windsurf, build sandcastles, ogle fiery-orange sunsets, and take selfies with \u201cSlick,\u201d a bronze statue of (wait for it) a seal. Despite its small town vibes and kitschy antique and gift shops, Seal Beach has a claim to fame\u2014its pier. Originally built in the early 1900s, it’s the second-longest wooden pier in all of California.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bald Head Island, NC<\/b><\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s just a 20-minute ferry ride from Southport, a visit to Bald Head Island feels like being transported to another world. First discovered by Spanish explorers 500+ years ago, this lush island is completely car free. (All cars have to park at the mainland terminal, and the only way to get around while on the island is by tram, golf carts, bicycles or good, old-fashioned walking.) When you aren\u2019t combing for shells on its 14 miles of sandy shores, try fishing or crabbing in its uncrowded waters, sunbathe, take a SUP lesson, surf, or get a bird\u2019s-eye view of the quiet beach from the top of the island\u2019s 1817-built Bald Head Lighthouse.
