But if you have to narrow it down to a single beach-centric destination, the Newport Coast<\/a> (AKA the Pacific Riviera) puts everything you\u2019ve dreamt about in a Golden State getaway into one enticing package. Here, you\u2019ll enjoy an upscale enclave just a short drive south of Los Angeles, packed with high-end shopping, fantastic cuisine, and scenic splendor everywhere you look. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Beaches:<\/em><\/strong> Located just off Pacific Coast Highway, Crystal Cove State Park<\/a> offers outdoor adventurers 3.2 miles of pristine coastline to explore, including tidepools that are teeming with marine life.

This charming coastal destination has something for everyone, whether you\u2019re a dedicated golfer (some of the world\u2019s best courses are here<\/a>), a foodie (the seafood is fresh-caught and delicious), or a lover of all things cultural (museums and botanical gardens abound). <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Beaches:<\/em><\/strong> There\u2019s a beach for every mood in Myrtle Beach. With its calm waves, Surfside Beach is your most kid-friendly option. For those in search of a little peace of mind, Garden City Beach and Litchfield Beach are the quietest, most secluded areas. And if you\u2019re looking for a livelier scene, North Myrtle Beach is always hopping. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCheck out RedWeek\u2019s Myrtle Beach travel guide<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nSouth Beach Excitement: Miami<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Destination:<\/em><\/strong> Miami<\/a> delivers the perfect blend of urban glamour and laid-back beach vibes.
