12. Fort Lauderdale Beach – Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Golden sand, swaying palms and loungers welcome you to vacation when you choose Fort Lauderdale Beach. There’s a wide range of accommodation options right on the beach from top-tier The Ritz-Carlton, Fort Lauderdale to beachy Snooze Hotel. There’s still access to nightlife here, but overall Fort Lauderdale Beach is a cleaner, calmer version of Miami Beach. You’re more likely to see families relaxing on the beach vs. wild spring breakers.
