These are the most beautiful beaches in the USA, according to TripAdvisor

Everyone loves a beach vacation, but if you're dreaming of sandy shores and beautiful blue water, you'll want to set your sites on the best of the best. While there are very few bad beaches, you want to make sure you’re hitting up the most beautiful ones for your next big vacation. 

Well, TripAdvisor has just published a list of the the best beaches in the world: places that are reliably epic and beautiful, but also relatively free of crowds. But for those who can't hop on a plane to Turks and Caicos or Cuba, which top the global list, there are plenty of beautiful, under-the-radar beaches right here in the USA. 

It’s no surprise that Hawaii not only tops the list, but ranks a total of four times in the top ten. California earned two spots, while lesser known beaches include Driftwood Beach in Georgia and Ruby Beach in Washington.
