1. Nantucket, Massachusetts

If you have always wanted to avoid the crowds, you can hie off to Great Point in Nantucket, Massachusetts. You would need to secure a beach permit and have a 4x4 to get there, but all that trouble is worth it as you get miles and miles of beach front, a breathtaking view and you can even visit a historic lighthouse. You can also go to Madaket Beach, which is located at the other end of the island. This is a great spot to watch the sunset!

2. Block Island, Rhode Island

You can get to Block Island via a ferry ride, and you will be greeted with a New England beauty! You can go down Mohegan Bluffs where you can enjoy the water and the fine sand. There are clay cliffs and if you watch closely, you can even see Montauk off the distance!

3. East Hampton, New York

There is a reason why New Yorkers flock here for the summer. Main Beach in East Hamptom was the best beach in the whole USA in 2013. You have a wide stretch of beach, lockers, bathrooms, and a snack bar. If you are bringing your own car, be reminded that onsite parking is only allowed for locals. All the reason why you should get a mini bus rental in New York City for your group.

4. Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts

Martha's Vineyard has Moshup Beach on the west end. You would need to walk for 10 minutes to reach it, but it is definitely worth it. Be sure to get Instagram worthy photos with the Gay Head Cliffs as your background.

5. Cape May, New Jersey

Is it any wonder that the Jersey Shore is always featured on TV shows? The area is home to New Jersey's best beaches, with a lot of historic buildings and places thrown in. You would love just how beautiful the place is and you have a selection of bed and breakfasts to stay in, some of them having Victorian designs. The entire Cape May is listed as a National Historic Landmark.

Another set of options you can consider are the cleanest beaches in the country. These includes Long Beach City in New York; Washington, 40th Street, and Upper Township beaches in New Jersey; and Dewey Beach-Swedes in Delaware. On the other end of the spectrum, do avoid some of the polluted beaches in the USA, including Beachwood Beach in New Jersey, and Main Street Beach and Wright Park Beach in Chautauqua County, New York.
