1. Siesta Beach – Florida
With quartz-crystal sand as white and soft as powdered sugar, Siesta Crescent Beach has been officially ranked as “the finest, whitest sand beach in the world.” Its energy is palpable and made even more so by the many activities that it invites. Jogging, throwing Frisbees, volleyball and picnicking compete with the bliss of simply floating in the clear, calm waters of the Gulf.

2. St. Pete Beach – Florida
Close to attractions in Orlando and even closer to the cultural and cosmopolitan attractions of St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tampa, St. Pete Beach strikes the perfect balance for the casual, laid-back beach bum and the active attraction seeker.

3. Ka’anapali Beach – Lahaina, Hawaii
Ka’anapali Beach runs from Black Rock to Canoe Beach, fronted by seven resorts, Whalers Village Mall, and many fine shops & restaurants. The beach itself is perfection. Long, wide and sandy, the water entry and swimming are glorious.

4. Pensacola Beach – Florida
Pensacola Beach is world famous for its sugar-white sand beaches and emerald-green waters.
Here you’ll find endless opportunities for fun and relaxation. Savor fresh gulf seafood or sip a Bushwacker at our many restaurants and hangouts, take a walk or catch a fish on the Pensacola Beach Pier, or simply relax in the sun and watch your worries float away.

South padre island, texas
What if you have visited all these beaches except two? I’m texting this from Clearwater now. Actually north redington beach Florida.
Wells Beach, Maine
I went specifically to Seista Key and Sanibel Island…both were highly rated.
No shells, so I went into shops and asked about shell hunting and they laughed told me the shells they sell came from China.
Polihale Beach, Kauai, Hawaii
Mission Beach, San Diego
Nice boardwalk
Imperial Beach California
Lovely beaches
I would say the problem is more limited public access not the fact there are no shells on these beaches like there used to be for the shell sealers
I find it strange that you didn’t find shells at Siesta Key and Sanibel. I visit there every year and have found beautiful shells🤷♀️
