Many vacation dreams begin and end with the beach. The miles and miles of sand and the splashing of the water as the waves crash down is many people’s visions of heaven.

I’m not the only one when I say that I love the feeling of sand between my toes as I walk along with the beach with no shoes, and these are the beaches I would love to go to!
Panama City Beach, Florida, USA
