SOUTHEAST USA BEACHES
We love the beaches in the Southeast - low key beach vibe, white sandy shores, waves, and spectacular sunrises. Plus, in the summer, the water is warm and the outside temps high.
We much prefer the beaches on the Southeast Coast than the West Coast.
Here are a few of our favorites.
