“From coast to coast, the beaches of the USA offer a dazzling tapestry of natural beauty and coastal charm. On the shores of Hawaii, black volcanic sands meet crystal-clear waves, framed by lush cliffs and swaying palms. California’s coastline stretches endlessly with golden beaches backed by rugged bluffs and rolling surf, where each sunset paints the sky in fiery hues. Along Florida’s Gulf Coast, powder-soft white sand feels like silk beneath your feet, and the turquoise waters glisten like glass under the sun. The Outer Banks of North Carolina offer wild, windswept dunes and hidden coves steeped in history, while the beaches of Cape Cod charm with their gentle waves and weathered shingled cottages. From the dramatic seascapes of Oregon to the serene barrier islands of Georgia, the beaches of the USA are as diverse as they are unforgettable—a true paradise for every kind of beach lover.”

My 7 year old daughter and I had the trip of a lifetime at Disney Port Orleans. She had never been to Disney World and when we got to this resort, she thought this was it! When we arrived, our room wasn't ready yet and they took our bags and sent us to the pool. I think she went down the waterslide over 25 times. Luckily our room was ready by then and what a treat to stay in a princess room near the pool. We loved that we could go to Disney Springs and some of the theme parks by boat! We went fishing and roasted marshmallows every night after long days at the park!
