With fun in the sun, sandy beaches, and endless ocean waters, a family beach vacation is a perfect choice for any family.

5 Best Family Beach Vacations in the U.S.

Family Beach Vacations

There are so many options for beach vacations in the United States, it’s hard to pick just one.

Here are a few of the options for the 5 best family beach vacations in the U.S.!

Pensacola Beach
Florida

White sandy beaches and Gulf Coast waters make Pensacola Beach a family favorite!

One of the Top 25 beaches in the world, Pensacola beckons travelers to the Gulf Islands National Seashore and sand that can easily be mistaken for snow by its color. The iconic beach ball tower lets beachgoers know that they have arrived for a Santa Rosa Island experience like no other.

Summer waters are extremely warm, and although shells can be found on the beach, the white, soft sand is perfect for sunbathing.

Rent a boat, try some oysters at Peg Leg Pete’s, and check out the Dog Beach for the four-legged members of your family!

While nearby Panama City Beach is perfect for college Spring Breakers, Pensacola Beach is family-friendly with playgrounds, soft sand for families to lounge and build sand castles, and the best shopping and eats for your whole crew!

Mother’s Beach (Long Beach)
California

If your family has very young children, this may be your favorite on the list! Mother’s Beach is aptly named for the shallow waters, light waves, and available lifeguard supervision.

Grassy play areas and playgrounds as well as a picnic area are part of the great amenities here!

Galveston Island Beaches
Texas

Galveston Island boasts 32 miles of Gulf Coast beaches in the Lonestar State. East Beach has festivals and concerts throughout the summer months. Stewart Beach comes with high recommendations for families with their children’s playground and regular lifeguard supervision.

Take a break from the water and head to Seawall Urban Park where you can walk the nation’s longest continuous sidewalk before hopping back in the water.

Visit nearby Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier Amusement Park to delight the young and young at heart in your family. These are just a few of the many beaches Galveston has to offer families.

Cannon Beach
Oregon

One of National Geographic’s most beautiful beaches, Cannon Beach is a delight for families of all ages. Gaze upon Haystack Rock, a 235 foot landing point for puffins and other breathtaking wildlife.

This picturesque beach features family-friendly festivals and experiences for all ages.

Hilton Head Island Beach
South Carolina

One of the most family-friendly stretches of beach in the country is in South Carolina! Hilton Head is home to a public beach with various public access points. Gorgeous artwork and sculptures can be seen on the beach.

There are several parks and playgrounds where kids can play while you and your family enjoy a picnic lunch.

The Sandbox, an interactive Children’s Museum, is a nice stop out of the water to create artwork, check out a saltwater aquarium, play with puppets, role play with a model grocery store and bank, and so much more!

Whether you’d like to build a sand castle, hit the waves on a boogie board, or check out the great amenities in a beach town, these three places are a hit when it comes to the 5 best family beach vacations in the U.S.!

I laid my dad to rest today. Although our relati I laid my dad to rest today. 

Although our relationship has been strained over the past 14 years, he was still my dad.

He instilled values in me that I have carried into adulthood and continue to pass down to my family. 

He showed me how to care for and appreciate my wife in such a way that she knows I love her.

He taught me life lessons that I have been able to teach my own children.

I wish we could have had a more meaningful relationship so that he (and my mom) could have experienced my life, my family, with me, but I’m grateful for the time we had. 

He’ll always be my dad and that seems like enough right now.
Thank you for being my #valentine today, tomorrow Thank you for being my #valentine today, tomorrow and forever!
I Love You! 💕
