Latest reviews on United States's beaches

Makapuu beach

10 Ryan Zane

Oahu has a hidden treasure in the form of a breathtaking beach that surpasses Waikiki in terms of its water and scenery. The only downside is that visitors need to rent a car in order to access this gem.

Dana Strands beach

8 Riya Gupta

I had an amazing time on this charming pathway with steps. If you're interested, you can leisurely walk down from there. The vantage point provides breathtaking views of the road and houses, as well as a delightful beachy ambiance. There is parking available along the road. From here, you can easily reach various spots, each offering picturesque scenery that is ideal for capturing wonderful memories. I highly recommend it!

Ala Moana Beach

The beach is absolutely stunning, with ample free parking available and just a short walk away from a shopping center. It's perfect for both children and adults, offering opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and various other water activities. Whether you prefer to relax in the picnic area or simply lounge on the soft sand, this beach has it all!

Craigville Beach

6 Rivenside Residence

Many people come to this beach simply because they are unaware of better options. Cape Cod offers a multitude of beaches worth exploring. Craigville, in particular, is a suitable choice for beginners. However, I highly recommend venturing out to the bays, where you will find breathtaking views and ample space for enjoyable activities suitable for all ages.
