I concur with St. Johns....Also Megens Bay in St. Thomas. I've haven't really been to a bad beach in the Caribbean. Okinawa Japan had some very nice beaches too.

Thanks Dad!!! Many moons ago I served many years in the U.S. Navy....I can tell you it was easier to hijack a nuclear aircraft carrier than to finally get registered on this VTTW site!!

I'm truly honored

When I first started going to Destin it was a small fishing town....Boy has times changed. Our kids have been grown and married for several years now so me and the wife go to Destin in October. IMO that's the best time to go.

Another place that's nice and not nearly the crowds durning the tourist season is Mexico Beach which is East of Panama City...Very, very nice.

I have family that lives in Ft. Lauderdale FL and the beaches there are not nearly as good as the Gulf side. I lived in Jacksonville for several years and St. Augustine and I just never cared for the Atlantic side very much....If I had to pick one beach I cared for on the Atlantic side it would be New Smyrna beach.

If you are ever in the Keys go to Sombrero beach in Marathon Key....We've been there several times and IMO it's the best beach in the Keys.
