Does freezing winter weather have you dreaming about escaping to a sandy beach in a tropical setting? You’re definitely not alone there and if you’re ready to start planning that getaway, TripAdvisor is here to help. They’ve just come out with their annual Traveler’s Choice Awards for the Best Beaches for 2022.
Topping the list for the best beach in the U.S. is Hapuna Beach State Recreation Area in Puako, Hawaii. Surprisingly, last year’s winner, Saint Pete Beach in Florida, doesn’t crack the top 10 for 2022. And when it comes to the best beaches in the world, the Caribbean has the most this year, but Brazil is the only country with more than one in the top 10. The number one spot goes to Grace Bay Beach in Providenciales, Turks and Caicos, followed by Varadero Beach in Varadero, Cuba.
