Northeast
For an incredible family vacation, you would be hard pressed to find a better beach than Ocean City, New Jersey. Ocean City earned its nickname of “America’s Greatest Family Resort” soon after it opened in 1879, and has defended its title admirably ever since. The county is “dry,” making it a wonderful family destination. The sandy beaches give way to an old-fashioned and highly entertaining boardwalk.

Southeast

West Coast
Think you’ve seen everything? Then you haven’t seen Venice Beach, California. A three ring circus of urban street performers shares space with some of the best beaches in the country. The area is family friendly enough, but it is definitely a sight to remember.

Florida
Love to party? You’ll be right at home at Florida’s Panama City Beach, currently one of the world’s premiere spring break destinations. Nonetheless, the town is family friendly and packed with thrills and spills sure to delight guests of all ages. The white sugar sand is truly not to be missed.

These are just a few of the many wonderful beaches to be found from coast to coast. Despite the high price of gas, there is no reason not to hop in your Certified Mercedes and head out to the nearest beach town.
