You don't have to go far to sink your feet into some soft white sand or plunge into clear aquamarine waters.

Some of the world's best beaches are right here in the US.

For this list, we looked at seven notable beach rankings compiled by travel experts, vacationers, and water quality researchers and combined these rankings to come up with the ultimate list of the best beaches in the US.

The rankings we used were Dr. Beach's Top 10 Beaches for 2015, Trip Advisor's 2015 Travelers' Choice Awards Top 25 Beaches in the United States, Travel Channel's Top 10 US Beaches, Forbes' America's Top 10 Beaches of 2014, Men's Journal's The 20 Best Beaches in America, Coastal Living's 21 Best Beaches, and Thrillist's The 25 Best Beaches in America.
