As winter comes to a close across the country, Tripadvisor just rolled out some sunny news, its 2024 travelers’ choice award for the “Best of the Best Beaches” — around the world and here in the U.S.
Maui’s Ka’anapali Beach topped the U.S. ranking — and came in at No. 4 on the global list — for the second year in a row. And California got a nod on the “best of the U.S.” list for La Jolla Cove and Santa Monica State Beach.
