You may have heard the phrase, “Life is better by the beach” and there is certainly some truth to it. With almost 12,000 miles of coastline in the country, America is home to some of the best beach resorts in this world. Summer is here now to stay and unfortunately, most people do not live in close proximity to the beach whenever they feel like it. Keeping that in mind, we have compiled a list of some of the best beach resorts keeping in mind safety, facilities and activities. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a fun-filled trip with our children or even if you just want to lazily sip pina coladas by the pool, we have you covered.
1 Montage Laguna Beach, California
Loftily standing on a bluff off the Pacific Ocean just 2.5 miles from the Laguna Beach, Montage Laguna spreads its arms towards visitors into the surreal resort. This place is only at a walk of 2 minutes from the beach and features a huge ocean-facing pool and a terrace. You can opt for the excellent standard rooms, which are equipped with private balconies and marble baths, or for more premium suites that feature plush sofas or an ocean view.

It has been appreciated by many customers who have stayed there for its exceptional services and friendly staff. We highly recommend this place for couples looking forward to a trip of their lives.
