13. South Padre Island, Texas
From June through August, tiny sea turtles hatch on the shores of Padre Island National Seashore and race into the Gulf of Mexico.
14. Sanibel and Captiva, Florida
Two of Florida's most hidden treasures, the sister islands of Sanibel and Captiva feel like Caribbean transplants. There are no high-rise buildings (just modest houses for rent) and no chain restaurants (expect small, family-owned shops and eateries). It happens to be a prime spot for collecting seashells and a theater for Instagram-worthy sunsets.
15. Hilton Head, South Carolina
Part of South Carolina's lowcountry region, Hilton Head is a paradise for golfers and beach-goers. If the beach isn't your thing, you'll find something to do among the bike trails, quiet lakes, and picture-perfect wildlife refuges.
