Best Beach Towns

Surf and sand. The smell of sunscreen. Brightly striped towels and colorful pails. Sand in your sandwich. Perhaps, if you live where we do, a sweater or two. The beach vacation is iconic of family travel, and below, Pit Stops for Kids has rounded up everything we love about the best beach towns for families: where to play, where to eat, where to stay, and what to do. The only thing we can’t tell you: when you’ll ever want to leave.
