In the meantime, we encourage all travelers to stay safe, follow guidelines from the CDC website, and take precautions.
The beach never gets old. It might change as the climate does, but the joy and tranquility that the beach brings doesn't ever erode.
The same goes for staying at wonderful beachfront hotels. Whether they're located on paradisaical islands or romantic, windswept coastlines, lodgings that overlook the waves act like surgical glue for the soul. When we leave, we feel healed.
Beachfront hotels also boast sunrise and sunset views, water sports and activities, and sometimes, spa treatments or dining that are offered beachside. And of course, stretches of sand come equipped with chairs, umbrellas, towels, and food-and-beverage service.
Our best beachfront hotels incorporate all of the above and cover a wide variety of geographies and latitudes, and are also well-rated and reviewed on trusted traveler sites such as Trip Advisor, Booking.com, and Hotels.com, with a minimum of 4 out of 5-stars on the former and an 8.2 out of 120 on the latter two. We kept budget at the top of our list as well, viewing the prices for rooms and suites through both high-season and low-season lenses.
While chic lodgings can go for $1,000 or more in some locales, spending that kind of cash is not necessary when you can achieve the same goals for less. Our least expensive options begin at $174 per night and caps at $505 per night.
Regardless of starting price, all properties jump in high season (think spring break) and some have daily resort fees. But even the ones with the highest sticker shock are worth it for the solace they bring when we need it the most.
