What’s Your Favorite Beach?

January is just around the corner, and that means we’ve got sand on the brain as we plan our annual Beach Travel Special Report. This year, we’re turning to you! We’d love to know: What’s your favorite beach? We’ll feature the best responses in an upcoming article.

Participating can be a mini-vacation all on its own. Just shut your eyes for a minute and think back to all the beaches (oceans, lakes, even rivers are fair game) you’ve strolled along and lounged upon. Soak in the sun, the sand, and the sound of the lapping (or crashing) waves. After you’ve returned from your mental getaway, share the details and a quick description of your favorite beach or beaches.

Send us your favorite beach picks through this online submission form (you’ll be briefly redirected to another site) by January 5. Please include plenty of details about why you love each beach, but keep your entries to 250 words or less. That way, we’ll be able to feature more reader favorites.

We’ll be collecting stories and publishing the best as part of our Beach Travel Special Report, coming your way on January 12.

Thanks! We can’t wait to dive into your suggestions.
