8 Quiet Beach Towns

If you’re anything like us, your sunbathing fantasies don’t include elbowing your way
onto crowded shores. Here, 8 of the best quiet beach towns in the country.

SERBEK

PACIFIC GROVE, CALIFORNIA

Despite its size, Pacific Grove has more B&Bs than any other coastal town between San Francisco & Los Angeles.

1

LUBEC, MAINE

Looking for classic New England charm without the scene? Located right near the Canadian border, this Maine beach town boasts 97 miles of shoreline.

2

MIRCEAX

SEABROOK ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA

There may not be any restaurants or shops on this quiet island but what it lacks in amenities, it more than makes up for in secluded beauty.

3

THOMAS NORTHCUT

CHINCOTEAGUE ISLAND, VIRGINIA

This island just off the Virginia coast has a 37-mile-long Seashore—where you’ll spot wild ponies, herons, woodpeckers & foxes while you sunbathe.

SBONK

CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY

The charming Victorian-clad beach town
of Cape May is like San Francisco
meets Montauk.

JON LOVETTE

 CANNON BEACH, OREGON

If you like the relaxed Pacific Northwest vibe of Washington State’s San Juan Islands, you’ll definitely love Oregon’s way less traveled Cannon Beach.

JON LOVETTE

GULF SHORES, ALABAMA

Alabama’s Gulf Coast beaches are perhaps the state’s most underrated attraction. Think splendid sands, pastel houses and lots of fresh seafood.

GREGORY KURPIEL

BOCA GRANDE, FLORIDA

Boca Grande is a true glimpse of idyllic old Florida. Think: tree-lined streets without traffic lights & long stretches of quiet Gulf of Mexico shores.
