10 Best Beach Resorts in the United States

In the United States, from antiquity up through the 18th century, the beach stirred fear and anxiety in the popular imagination. The coastal landscape was synonymous with dangerous wilderness; it was where shipwrecks and natural disasters occurred. This perception has changed drastically over time to a point where the beach is seen as a place to a preferred vacation destination.

However, fun time at the beach did not become a popular thing to do in the United States until the late 1800s. The first public beach was not opened until 1896. It was called Revere Beach and is located only about five miles north of Boston, hence the name. It was connected by a rail line and is still a popular beach destination today. Over 1,000,000 visitors arrive every year on just one weekend when a beach sculpture competition is held there.

Every summer, millions of Americans flock to the beach, taking advantage of long days, warm weather, and the end of classes for the students. The modern embrace of the beach especially, recreation and retreat, came with the rise of urban, industrial society.
